I LIVE ABOUT A HUNDRED YARDS FROM A RIVER....GOOD SPOT. I NEVER EVEN CARE MUCH ABOUT CATCHING FISH! [THEN YOU HAVE TO GUT THEM AND COOK THEM, ETC] I HAD A VERY RELAXING TIME FELLAS! FIRST THING I SAW WAS ABOUT 15 PAIRS OF CANADIAN GEESE....THEM AND ALL THEIR LITTLE YELLOW FUZZY GOSLINGS. THEY WERE FREAKING OUT....HONK, HONK, ...ETC. THE LITTLE BASTARDS ARE VERY CUTE. I ABOUT STEPPED ON ONE AS I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE CALF HIGH GRASS ON THE RIVER BANK...HE MUST HAVE DECIDED TO HIDE INSTEAD OF JOIN HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ALL SWAM OUT IN THE CURRENT TO HIDE FROM MY HORRIFIC ASS! I AM THE TERROR OF SMALL ANIMALS AND OLD WOMEN. I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME BEING LAZY LOOKING AT STUFF. I CASTED IN ABOUT FIVE TIMES...WAS DOWN THERE FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS AND STARTED GETTING HUNGRY! LOL....TIME TO HIT THE FRIDGE. WHEN I GET MY GYM/BARN BUILT YOU FOLKS CAN COME HANG OUT AND LIFT, FISH, WHATEVER. I'LL TRY TO POST A PIC OF THE PROGRESS OF THE 'IRON FORTRESS'!
