A Night Of Fishing

A catfish pole bouncing lightly with the current in the dim light of a lantern. The night air filled with sounds of subterranean creatures twittering softly. Glancing over, a bobber drifts slowly atop the shadowy water. The sound of the moving current stream- supply  a sense of sagacity. A glimmer of the moon sparkles one small area of water with color. Still, yet not silent. Reverberations of night sounds spill into darkness. Excitement, short lived, turns just to be a nibble. A splash in the distance grasps all the attention.  Suddenly, a notion- somethings missing, the twist is - I was only wishing-I was night fishing.

Fishing is a passion for me and many times even when I am not out fishing, I am thinking about fishing. I like night fishing, I can have a catfish pole cast out as far as I can get it. On the other side a crappie pole with a bobber and if the lantern is not quite bright enough, a crappie light too. I remember the days of my sister and I fishing off the docks, our husbands would be calling us asking "when are you coming home?"  Once we got out there it was hard to stop- bites or no bites, it is just relaxing and good "me" time. I wish I still lived that close to my sister, I miss those nights! Not only was the fishing relaxing but we would always have some good laughs, thinking we had seen a flying saucer or something!
I usually use worms on my catfish pole and minnows on my crappie pole but I have used many different baits from live crickets to hot dogs. Sometimes I take the kids to the reservoir and they swim and I FISH! Fishing is really a great way for family to spend time together. If you check out my about page, there is a newspaper article of my family-four generations all fishing on one dock. We have fun, laugh and talk about everyday life when we go fishing. Catching a fish or not on a night of fishing really isn't important it is who you choose to take fishing that does! Miss You Sister!
Keep On Fishin!
