Dear Board,
I did something tonight that I used to do a lot but hadn't done for years. I ate dinner at 6:00 PM and went fishing at Memorial Lake State Park.
I used to do a whole lot of warm water FF'ing when I was younger but I just kind of lost the way and stopped a few years back. I had intended to go float tubing but I realized that I really wasn't prepared and organized enough to tube. So tonight I said screw the tube and waded back in. I'm glad I did.
To give you an idea just how out of practice I was I didn't realize I had my wallet and keyless remote for the car in my pockets until I was in far too deep and my shorts started to droop down. They'll dry.
I didn't catch anything especially noteworthy, but I did manage close to 2 dozen bluegills in about 1 1/2 hours of fishing. A stray 12 inch LMB managed to find my size 10 Sneaky Pete, and something much bigger than the LMB I landed took a swipe at a bluegill I was retrieving.
I do want to get back out there and float tube so if there is anyone close to Memorial Lake that wants to go I have a loaner tube and fins.
Regards,
Tim Murphy ;-)
