My Fishing Trip

Yes I did make it to the lake to get some down time in and maybe catch a fish, But first I did make a stop, at the rental. Tony insisted on cutting the carpets in, he sat down and slowly trimmed the carpets while My uncle visited. During this time I measured the windows because I am thinking about putting blinds up in every room, again. And I got on the ladder and cleaned that filthy ceiling fan. The moment Tony was done I locked up the place and we went to lake Wedowee first ( pronounced wee-dow-ee). There was a man parking as we did with several very small children, We walked the banks of the lake heading down to our fishing spot. Well, here comes this man with all the little ones and they beat us to " the fishing spot" we did not catch any fish and when we got around to "the spot" that man caught a fish. We left and went to another lake. I drove over to lake Harris and we fished up and down that area till almost dark, we did not catch any fish but a huge bass hit my float, thinking it was food. Tony had had all he could do, even though we drove to the dam, with lights, I asked did he want me to go catch us a meal and he said no he did not need me showing him up. Lake Harris was so peaceful, no traffic, not even one car. No boats. Only the geese honking headed to roost, AND I seen an Eagles nest! No fish but aa few hours of no one bothering me. How was your day?

my day was abnormally cool. i havent gone fishing in a long time, im sure its my fear of large bodies of water that has something to do with it.

Then I would have the perfect spot for you. The little creek! When I wanted fish badly I would stop there, its a small creek loaded with fish, not many people fish there because its small.

You're lucky to even boat yourself into that river. Anyways I hope there's no pollution over there.

None in that lake, that is why I go there. Yes I get into a boat and fish there but the boat is broken down right now.

Lake Harris is a nice lake, we visited the area, it's not far from Orlando, where we went so many times.

Sounds like you had a good day. My husband felt well enough to go fishing with his boat in our pond. He caught some bass, speckled perch and even some white perch. We hope to fry them tomorrow for lunch.

That sounds so relaxing, being out away from most people and enjoying nature. My day was not as nice as yours was.
