What's that old saying? A bad day of fishing is like good day of golf, or a mediocre day of fishing is like a bad day at the office or something like that....a good day of fishing is like a great day! Maybe that was it. :)

Finally got out. One small Crappie. Decided bait casters are not worth the trouble even though at the end I was getting the hang of it. It was a beautiful morning. I was fishing a medium size creek that flowed into a lake. I was kept entertained by a couple of beavers that would swim up stream, come back a little later with a mouthful of fresh cut grasses. They would disappear in the bank across from me and then pop out to repeat Then a foot long water snake swam by me, going up stream. That was a new one on me. Sorta brown with rings in different shades of brown ,black, and green. Not vivid at all. Then I got strafed by a bird with a pouch(King Fisher?) as I walked to this back water pond. Must have got to close to her nest. Spent about 4 hrs., got back home, pick the wife up, had some KFC, did some shopping and back home for well deserved nap. All and all, a good day.
