Loser talk...

I finally got the chance to make it out on the water after an ENTIRE MONTH without fishing (It almost killed me! I swear!). I decided to try for yellow perch at the Piscataway creek, despite it being a little early for them. It was also a good chance for me to try out another paddle I got from Bending Branches, the Angler Classic.

I really wish that this post could be a long exciting report of amazing fishing, but it was a mediocre day of fishing at best. I made it to my favorite spot and immediately hooked my first fish of the year... a 12" largemouth.

Then within 2-3 casts later I hooked a nice crappie that I lost right at the boat.

What happened next was nothing short of amazing!  

....................................actually nothing happened after that...at all.

As much as this pains me to say, it really was a nice day on the water.

Typically I avoid saying that at all cost, because it always means the same thing...a bad day of fishing.

Think about it: 

(You)- "Hey Bob! How was this fishing?"

(Bob)- "Well we didn't catch much, but it was a nice day on the water!"

Loser talk! 

99% of the time it means the goal for the day (catching fish) was a total failure. 

All joking aside, I know that we don't go fishing ONLY for the fish. Time on the water is the most relaxing thing we fisherman have. There is no time in my life that I am more comfortable or feel closer to God, except when I am fishing with my wife.

This right here is what its all about!
