I have been getting a little too frustrated with work lately, I was hovering around my uncouth mouth point too much. I work as middle management in state government, nobody wants to mess with the tragically angry folks like us. I'm not in a position to be able to indulge my potty mouth so it seemed like it was a good time to take advantage of this beautiful weather and get the fudgesickles out of dodge for a minute. I'm going pretty modest as far as a vacation goes, just heading to a lake in Iowa that's about an hour and a half away. I was going to do a 'stay-cation' and just screw off at home but I've got a side of leather from Wickett & Craig coming on Tuesday so I wouldn't really be on vacation, I'd just be working on something else.
It's not a huge lake, I think it's about 400 acres. It's supposed to have really good shore fishing but they also have boat rental so I might do that or take the kayak out. I've been fishing since I could walk but I've used a cane pole or something like a Zebco 33, 202, 404, etc. I guess it's like knives, you can spend as much money as you'd like and have all kinds of funky techniques. Spinning reels are new tech to me, baitcasters honestly look like some kind of evil magic. I bought two packages of nightcrawlers, that's the kind of fishing I can understand. I'm taking a couple spinning reels and a couple baitcasters just in case though. It's four days on a lake, I might get bored. (Sacrilege, and unlikely.) Channel cats are supposed to be hitting like crazy right now. Maybe I'll just work on an even tan for my beautiful meat suit.
