Valentine’s Day Post
This means Valentines Day to the true fisherman!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Thank you for reading this week’s Valentine’s Day post.
One year I procrastinated with the Valentine’s thing. The night before, I was at the card rack at Publix, with 18 other loser guys. All of us were looking for the perfect card in a completely picked-over selection. Lesson learned.
I hope you got what you needed before the mad rush started.
John Gilbert, engaged.
Tuesday found me in the Bang-O-Craft on the St. Johns River. John Gilbert was my guest. It took me about three minutes to get our first shad, so naturally I expected “great things”.
Taking a break…
We were there four hours, got seven or eight between us, definitely not “great things”. All on spin tackle. Could not buy a strike with the fly. Gilbert surprised me when he said the first one he got was the first one he ever got!
The happy man. Fish, not so much.
I thought the sunset would be killer so I went back out to photograph it. It was only OK. Yes, I am being so presumptuous as to grade the sunset. It was awesome, of course, but not what I had hoped for. I made the best of it.
Pretty killer for not so killer.
The rest of the week I ran a couple errands, worked on the wiring for the van (I should be finished by month’s end!), and spent time on Instagram. Not an exciting week!
Love the palm trees!
Except the Bucs won the Super Bowl!
Thank you for reading this week’s Valentine’s Day post!
Life is great and I love life!
Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! or walk on a trail!
