For one it is very convenient. Football jerseys come in different colors and designs. There are so many things that separate one shirt from another. Searching for the right shirt requires a little help. With a search engine, that is easy. Wh Adidas launched the world's first pair of seamless running shoes. Once you arrived the top of mountain, you would see the mountains are little. The phrase of classic statement from the poem Du Fu has become the motto of many Donkey Friends.
Our Fishing Stories AdventuresIts 3:30 AMDuring the past year my fiancé James has happily dragged me and his 11 year old son Arthur out of our beds at 3:30 am on numerous Saturday mornings to go fishing. Ever since we got a new portable fishing boat the boat in the living room hes determined to get our fishing boat ready, put it on top of our little car, (yes, on TOP of the car!), get the fishing equipment ready and get to the lake. He was crazy like this before we got the boat. And now, hes simply .Impossible.Preparations What a ritual! Its down to a science first he gets up like hes been awake the whole night, just waiting for this moment, and is dressed in minutes. Next, he figures out how to get our 14-foot boat to the car around the combination of the living room door corner and a 6-foot hallway to get out the front door in one move. Then down the porch stairs and onto the small Toyota Yaris hes got temporarily (illegally) perched on the sidewalk at the base of our porch! Then he wakes us up as he goes for the equipment; 4 boat seats, 4 oars, 2 anchors, 3 life jackets, 2 trolling motors, 1 cooler, 1 net, 1 fish finder, 1 first aid kit, 2 tackle boxes, 9-12 fishing rods, 2 batteries and more (hes got a check list)! Thats a lot of stuff stuffed into our small car! Hes ready to go so we better be ready too. Theres no time for laggards. The coffee and drinks come just before hes kicking our half-asleep bodies out the door. On The RoadSo were riding in our car on our way to our fishing spot, its still dark outside, theres no one else on the roads except 1 or 2 cars, (why cant the roads be like this all the time). James is forever chasing the night before dawn touches it. Hell say Do you see dawn in the horizon over there, pointing in one direction or another. Lets hurry so we can beat it, or Can you see the quantum change in light its gonna be dawn soon were late. Quantum what? And as we pass other ponds and lakes along the way James will yell out do you see the mist on the water. That means were still on time? The only mist I see is the misty realm of being half asleep. Thats where Arthur and I are.At Our Fishing Spot We take our fishing boat off the roof and set it up. Its 14 feet long and weighs 150 lbs! I dont know how he does it. Then we have to load up our boat with everything wed packed in the car: fishing rods, net, bait, tackle boxes, fish finder, etc., (you get the short story here). This takes 35 minutes, all this before sunrise, with him rushing us all the way. And No, Im not bitchy!The Ghostly MistAnd we had better be on water before sunrise while the mist is still on the water!! (James likes to see the mist on the water before the morning sun evaporates it.) He says its imperative that we get to the fish at their breakfast time, not when its convenient for us. To him the mist is some kind of fish breakfast signal. But to me the mist kind of gives the lake a ghost like feeling.On The WaterAt last we're in our boat and on the water just before the sun starts to rise; I have my coffee so Im finally waking up, and good to go. Its so beautiful on the early morning water, the sky and trees reflecting off the glassy surface as the scattering mist yields to the rising sun and we enjoy soft waves and cool breeze. We start to see signs of fish, a ripple here, a ripple there, and then all of a sudden a fish will jump out of the water and make a splash. Thats my magic moment, when the sun hits the water, the mist evaporates and the fish start jumping, and I think to myself Gee, this is really peaceful then James breaks my reverie by yelling Grab your rods and lets get to fishing.Catching FishWe catch all types of fresh water fish: yellow and white perch, trout, crappie, sunfish, pickerel, blue gill, the occasional turtle, but mostly we love to catch bass, thats our favorite. Its hard to describe the feeling of actually fighting the fish, but its so different its not a feeling youre likely to forget. When you actually land a fish, or for us BRING IT INTO THE BOAT, (the fish doesnt count if you cant touch it), you feel like youve accomplished a major feat. Its very satisfying, especially when everyone else is catching and youre not. Oh Yes! Sometimes we keep our best catch in the cooler (livewell), so we can see how many we caught as we try to keep count. And we use at least 2 aerators to keep them alive because, by the way, were STRICTLY CATCH AND RELEASE!! We like the idea of there actually being fish to catch or of catching the same fish again and again. And CAN WE FISH! There might be a problem if we kept what we caught. Weve got hundreds of pictures!Oh NatureLike all fishermen, some days we catch next to nothing, and other days we catch well over 30 plus and boy are we exhausted but we always have a wonderful time. We clearly have far more good days than bad. Theres nothing like it: youre on the water, catching fish, surrounded by swans, ducks and sometimes, singing birds. The suns shining, theres an island over there and here, youre with the ones you love. You actually feel like youre one with nature. And speaking of nature, its so easy for you guys, but for us girls we have to get creative and those islands certainly do come in handy. Oops, wrong Natures calling, again!After a Great Day of FishingIts time to dismantle our fishing boat. When people see our boat they cant believe the ingenious contraption folds flat and sits on top of our car. At 14 feet its longer than our car, and though it can hold up to 4 people, with all our gear 3 are perfect. We take the boat apart, load up the car, take pictures of the fish from the cooler (livewell), and gently place them back in the water and thank them. Most of em seem grumpy or moody from being held captive, and its amazing you can actually tell. The bigger ones just swim away slowly and majestically.On the ride home we talk about the great day we had and when were going fishing again. James is ready to go tomorrow or as soon as the batteries recharge. We laugh and smile all the way home. Happy fishing!
