Fishing is more than fish
My girls are having a home-spa weekend so I escaped the house for the day today and spent a wonderfully relaxing day, sitting on the shores of a local lake, fishing. I didn't catch a single thing which doesn't bother me - and besides, it's a catch and return lake
It's the act of fishing I enjoy. Sitting out in the glorious sunshine and fresh air, being by the water, a cold beer in hand, music playing softly in my ears. I dozed off for a while, I read for a bit, I did a crossword. I watched the fish in the lake. It's almost meditative, being able to just let my mind wander. I met fellow fishermen, made some new friends, saw some amazing 20lbers reeled in. There's a sense of camaderie, of adventure, of challenge.
Most of all it's fun, I've caught the sun and I avoided being exfoliated or masked by Samantha and Lucy!
