For those few who might not know I am, or at least have been in the past an avid fisherman. There is much more to that story, but suffice it to say up until the time I got out of college from early March until late into the fall I was fishing at least once every other weekend, often more like two and three times in a weekend. Something happened in there with work and other hobbies and it took a back seat. Fortunately for the last few years I have picked that long-lost hobby back up, not the same level, but something approaching it. Fortunately for me, my wonderful wife has also started enjoy it, at least on occasion and has even went out with me at night for catfish the last couple of weekends (and unfortunately has out-fished me on the occasions as well). Friday evening’s adventure is the setting of this story…
The last couple of months, as I think to have noted elsewhere, I have rediscovered an old favorite past-time – notably fishing! I am extremely dismayed however at the lack of American made fishing equipment and the shoddy stuff that is coming from oversees is much less quality then in the past.
I like Frank Deford, but I think this morning his thoughts of August not being useful for much were missing a lot of opportunities on his part.
