So what kind of fishing do all you guys do. I'm a if it will bite type fisherman. Honestly Catching is just a bonus. Getting out on the water with the scenery and relaxing is the real reason. Hit for you gus to ... Old school country music played lightly in the background definately helps draw more fish, a little hank and merle never hurts.;)
 
I will be fishing this weekend as well, the WI early trout season opens tomorrow, and that is a short hop across the border from me!! Fish on!

The most important fishing lesson I ever learned I learned in Jacksonville Fla. I was teaching a course at UNF and would take a walk along the ST.Johns river walkway. This went on for about 6 weeks. Each day I met an old black man and we would talk. I learned that he had been a Letter Carrier for more than 40 years and had 5 sons. Once in awhile he had his grandkids with him. Four of his sons were policeman and the other was a priest. He raised them alone as his wife died young.

Anyways, the point of the fishing story. I would ask him each time I saw him "how's fishing". He would respond "fishing's good". I never did see a fish in his bucket. One time I asked "how's fishing" and he gave the usual response. I asked him why he tells me each day that fishing is good when he has no fish and he stated, "fishing is always good, if I caught a fish, I'd say fishing's great"

For me it was an important lesson about fishing but mostly about recognizing what is really important in life.

Gerry, I agree. Fishing is more about going out and relaxing and having a good conversation with your fishing buddies. I used to go fishing with my landlord in Turkey. We'd go down to a town on the Mediterenean called Yurmatalik, where he and his dad used to fish. We went nearly a dozen times, and never caught a fish.



He taught me how to fish turkish-style -- using a block of wood, instead of a pole. He also taught me a lot about Turkish culture and language. We'd usually walk down to a fish market in town and buy fish for lunch, then go to a place that would cook them for us, right next to the water.



He also ntroduced me to Raki, which is an anise-based liquor, which turns a milky-color when mixed 50% with water. I learned it is not good to drink when you have been in the hot sun all morning.



The last time we went, we discovered a castle ruin, which was inhabited by two old men who had gotten tired of their wives telling them what to do. They had been living in the abandoned castle for a couple of weeks when we discovered them. They were in good spirits, and I bet they didn't go home until the weather got nasty. :lol:
 
Gary that was a picture of the BAIT I use !!!.... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
 
Get well soon, GM!



bigdon -- yes I lived at Incirlik twice for a total of 27 months (24 months permanent party/3 months TDY). I hope to make another trip if the AWACS ever goes back. I loved Turkey. I prefer the Efes Pilsen and Tuborg to the Raki. :cool:
