Snuck out

That's right, after a month of working 6 and 7 days a week I finally got out to do some fishing.
Since Turkey season I have been helping a buddy with his business because in the spring he has a hard time with help while everyone is still in school. The bad thing is it leaves me no time to do anything but mow lawns and work, either for him or at my real job. Well last Wednesday looked like rain, and since the work is with concrete, when it rains we don't work. I didn't get a,"we're working" phone call and since the forecast was for rain, I took the initiative and went fishing.
Let me tell you I had a grand day, lots of fish of many species. Here's some pics

As you see I caught all sorts of fish on a relatively cool and windy day, but man did I have fun. The only bad part of the day came when it was time to load up and go home. I was making a couple more casts before I hit the dock when disaster struck. Yup, my line broke and I watched as the lure I had been catching most of my fish on that day brake off, fly through the air, and land in 8 feet of water unattached to my line. The trifecta of bad things was: lost the lure, first day using the lure, it was a ten dollar lure. So to make myself feel better one of the first things I did when I got home was order 2 more. : )
