Hand up, I should be blogging more. The problem is I’m down to fishing once a week and, well, I’m not very good at fishing. So I decided to wait until I had enough fishing material to make a few blogs. See below for highlights and, naturally, zero lowlights because its my blog and I only show the good stuff. But as a starting point, here’s a really pretty picture…
Continue reading “Fall Fishing Part 1: A Familiar Foe and A New Enemy”Can I Interest You in a Perch, Perch-chance?
I just caught a true colossus of creeks, sultan of swim, insert third thing here. This was a truly awe-inspiring sized catch – I gasped when I landed this bad boy. It’s pretty rare to catch something with this size, it is truly the biggest* fish I’ve ever caught. Without further ado:

I’d like to apologize for the lengthy wait, but it’s really not my fault so I’m not going to – I’m an expert at denial. Fishing in late July and August drives even the sanest of fisherman crazy. It’s 90 degrees, the sun is blazing, and all of the fish are dead asleep dreaming of cooler weather. Despite the brutal conditions, I have a quick recap of the summer and some clear evidence it’s going to be a good Fall for fishing.

Apologies for the wait, but Gardner’s prodigal son has returned. I have made the journey from NY back to Central MA and brought my hard-earned fishing knowledge with me, here’s a quick recap of this past month.

My profuse apologies for yet another lengthy wait, I’ve been a bit busy working on a “Third Year Paper” that, if it isn’t “good enough”, you get “kicked out”. So the past two months have been really easy and breezy (I spend most of my time pacing my apartment and muttering “I’m OK”)….BUT, I have scrounged up a few moments to fish…

You’re probably thinking, “What the hell was that title?” Well don’t worry, I told you I had a surprise planned in my previous blog and I’ve come to deliver the goods (after several weeks of failing miserably). That’s right, I caught a catfish! But in order to do so, I had to cross to the Dark Side…

It’s been far too long and for that I apologize. But I’ve come bearing gifts – that’s right, I actually caught a fish. As a REEL man, I’m going to ignore the fact I massively failed my goal of catching one single fish during the winter and just brag about my most recent accomplishments. But first, a little backstory…

Yes, I realize my previous blog was not titled “Volume I” but we will treat it as such moving forward. I’ve been udder-ly derelict in my blogging duties and for that I apologize (but I wont apologize for the pun). Anyways, it’s been awhile so let’s all have a beverage and catch-up.

Look there’s a few reasons I haven’t blogged recently:
1) I was sick (I had the sniffles, not the you-know-what).
2) Turns out winter fishing in the icebox of North Central Massachusetts ain’t exactly easy…
