HOT!

Well after my blog post yesterday, I decided to go fishing. It was a pretty good two hour adventure in the kayak but the catching could have been a lot better. I only caught two small bass on Texas rigged plastics. It really is summer time here. The water is hot, the fish are lethargic, and the bite is just really slow. I need to head out one evening for some topwater fishing because I haven't been on that bite yet and I am sure it is a good one.... come to think of it, I haven't caught a single fish on topwater this year. Tragedy I tell ya!

Lately I've been thinking about heading to the coast for a couple of days but I just dont know if that can happen with all the stuff needed to get ready for the baby and my current work schedule. At least I will be redfishing in my mind....

God Bless, good luck, and tight lines,

It's Been Awhile...

So time has passed and it has been a good few months since my last entry. What can I say? Life sometimes gets in the way of fishing, and as much as I wish it was the other way around- it just isnt. My wife and I have been expecting our first child, a daughter, and the pregnancy has been anything but easy. I've spent a lot of time on my knees begging God and praying for Him to work a miracle for us, and amazingly I think He has. If you're religious or spiritual or just like reading The Bible, check out Romans 5:3-5. That's been me. Here's a picture of our little girl on the way:

I am happy to say that I have been getting out some and have managed to land several fish in the four to six pound class this past spring. I also have taken it upon myself to improve some of my weaknesses when it comes to fishing. To that end, I have fished crankbaits a lot more recently and seem to be catching some fish on them. I am a worm fisherman at heart and really like fishing slowly and thoroughly, but sometimes you gotta run and gun with a fast moving bait. Hopefully, I can become a more "complete angler" and be able to catch fish in new and different ways.

Good luck, God bless and tight lines,

Atticus
