Early Morning Bass, Part 19

The title of this post should be “Frank’s walk” because this morning, I must have covered close to a mile of shoreline, looking for that elusive bite and let me tell you, when you’re wearing chest waders, walking over hill and dale isn’t exactly the easiest feat in the world.  But hey, all in the name of bass fishing, right?  I digress though…let’s start this post off with a couple of sunrise pics since it was such a beautiful morning out there, again (you know what to do):

As I said in my previous post(s), it’s getting tough out there and today was no exception…I walked and I walked, and not a single bite…until 10 minutes before I had to head off to work:

Patience, patience, patience smile_regular.  This time of year, from shore, I’m more than happy to catch anything out there and even if I only catch one of these per week, I’ll gladly take it without a single complaint.  Oh, and that fish hit a 4-inch Senko, “mystery sparkle black,” fished parallel to the shore, about 5 feet out.

    Nomad,
    That’s one healthy looking bass! As you say, one bass is better than no bass.

    It’s on my list of “things to do” :smile:

    Nomad, is that list sitting under an old brass paperweight? :wink: If anybody can tell me where that comes from, you’ll get 10 bonus points! lol

    Under an old brass paperweight is my list of things to do today
    Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door
    I cross ‘em off as I get ‘em done but when the sun is set
    There’s still more than a few things left I haven’t got to yet

    Go for a walk, say a little prayer
    Take a deep breath of mountain air
    Put on my glove and play some catch
    It’s time that I make time for that
    Wade the shore and cast a line
    Look up a long lost friend of mine
    Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
    Start livin’, that’s the next thing on my list

    Wouldn’t change the course of fate but cuttin’ the grass just had to wait
    ‘Cause I’ve got more important things like pushin’ my kid on the backyard swing
    I won’t break my back for a million bucks I can’t take to my grave
    So why put off for tomorrow what I could get done today

    Like go for a walk, say a little prayer
    Take a deep breath of mountain air
    Put on my glove and play some catch
    It’s time that I make time for that
    Wade the shore and cast a line
    Look up a long lost friend of mine
    Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
    Start livin’, that’s the next thing on my list

    Raise a little hell, laugh ’til it hurts
    Put an extra five in the plate at church
    Call up my folks just to chat
    It’s time that I make time for that
    Stay up late, then oversleep
    Show her what she means to me
    Catch up on all the things I’ve always missed
    Just start livin’, that’s the next thing on my list

    Under an old brass paperweight
    Is my list of things to do today

    Do I get 10 bonus points? :smile:
