I am starting to get excited a bit. I am going fishing. I was born and raised on the water and in the woods but it seems I have let the last twenty or thirty years slip by without much time spent there. I decided last week that I’m going to the Gulf to one of my favorite spots. I caught this the last time out with my sons. Been looking at the picture like erotica lately. Figured it was time to go. Never much liked naked pictures. My thought was why would want to look at somebody else. Would just frustrate a boy.
Low tide at dusk.
This is Dave. He is a writer and expert in-shore fishing guide. He is also a friend. He is going to meet me and my boys friday morning. He is unique in that he will guide folks whether pier fishing, the jetties, the surf, or the pass. He is a great resource, teacher, and human.
There is such a cool community there, made up of locals and people from all walks of life. Friendly people eager to teach or assist. This time of year most of the tourist are gone. The highs will be in the eighties, low fifties at night. The deeper water fish move in with the drop in temperature, Kings, Bull Reds, some smaller Tuna, and even Mahi are being caught this week.
Can’t Wait!
I hope you made it out! Loved the dusk photo. Sometimes we do have to follow our urges to enjoy our pleasures.
It’s always good to follow your bliss! I have to confess, fishing is not my bliss. I fished with my dad as a kid, but just don’t like all that ick involved. But back in the day, I did win a fishing contest once. So there is that…
Eating it can be fun too. You could help me with that
I’m down with that…I’m more comfortable with the eating part!
I’ve always enjoyed fishing. One of my step fathers gave me my first poke when I was 10…I was hooked (pun intended). At the time, we were living on a cove and I spent all my free time teaching myself…over the course of the next 5 years, it saved me….
It a meditation and sport and food. I spent hours alone fishing and growing up. It is always good to hear from you. 🙂
😀 right back at you Plato!
Oh have a wonderful time PG! It sounds just the tonic you need…and I love the poems Calensariel…have a beautiful and bountiful journey!
Kisdes compliment mamam dictoe
Sounds perfect! I hope you have a great time!
Here’s a couple prayers for you. One for this weekend and one for much later!
God grant me the SERENITY
to accept the size of the fish I catch,
the COURAGE not to fib about it,
and the WISDOM to know
that no one would believe me anyway…
And for later…
God grant that I may live to fish
Until my dying day
And when it comes to my last cast
I then most humbly pray
When in the Lord’s safe landing net
I’m peacefully asleep
That in his mercy I be judged
As big enough to keep
😀
I could NOT find an Irish blessing. I’m so sad…
Let’s have a fish fry…. 🙂
They might eat fish even if they don’t fish!
I can do a good job cooking it
Did the girls decide not to go? Do you good to get back to your roots.
They are going but don’t know how much they will fish
I will look for a fishing blessing!
I need one
