Saw an image the other day that I just didn't like! Some old guy was staring back at me with the longing look of a person who has been fish less for the last couple of years. That lost look, I am sure, is one that others have seen staring back at them when they shave or brush their hair (what's left), or simply brushing their teeth.
So I am taking action to recapture my center that fishing has giving me in the past...
For starts I will be hooking up with Danglin and have volunteered for the "Warriors on the water" event next week. I think that this will help to humble me and give back to those who have given us so much. Freedom isn't Free........
Then I will be trying to reconnect with hopefully those of you that have been a big part of my NCKA experience so that I may recapture that spirit that the image in my mirror seems to have lost.
It's time to reconnect for this MIA DTL (Do To Life) frankfishing

After giving the intel for the crayfish location 2yrs ago you suddenly  disappeared.  I wondered maybe you got stuck in a quicksand/mud or something.  Missed your reports :smt003
