Since being sidelined for the last 3 weeks I have come to rely on my gift of gab and good friends. I met my online poker buddy Charlotte via WFN and we have become daily friends on FaceBook. While my husband remains hospitalized (17 days and counting), I am living my fishing life vicariously through good friends. Charlotte's son Tommy recently participated in the DeSoto

The guy was really excited about it as he had just gotten it in, and I looked at what I thought was 4lb braid but

I day fish quite a bit, so being the person who flies

I have not spent a lifetime fishing, but in my heart it is where I am the happiest. I have been fishing now just over a year. I was exposed to it as a child but nothing ever came of it because my parents were not the outdoor family. I am lucky that I have found a passion that is beyond words, for what it gives to me. I hope that everyone enjoys the blogs, photos and more. Everyday is a great day especially when you can fish.
