Fishing


Don't get me wrong, shooting is great, but fishing is neat too. So I loaded up the truck with some rods and headed off to Lake Whitney.

The Lake's still high and right  out of the gate one of the team caught a Bass with a long tail worm on a Texas rig. Big excitement, which was tempered, a bit, by the young 'un dropping the fish before we could get a picture. It swam away to fight again another day. 



Then one of the boys fell in the lake and had to dry out in the sun while the other caught a fish with his cowboy hat. The hat was strangely waterproof; you can get them from Cavender's for $24. Keeps the sun off and doubles as a net, quite a deal.

Later on a  friendly fisherman gave us a couple of Perch to use as bait and that was fun but didn't result in any strikes. He'd been there since 5.30 am and had only caught Perch, 6 of them.



As midday came and went, and the sun beat down, we headed for the Compound.



Well done, Team, and you never know, maybe next time I'll catch something...

EVERYTHING, it seems, is $24. A strange algorithm seems to be plaguing humanity...

It's weird, and in DFW there's a travel algo at work -- it always takes 30 minutes to get somewhere. Strange.
