Today was not one of those days, for me at least, that was all about numbers or over flowing the cooler with fish. It was about family.
I had family with me today that I hadn’t seen in a good while. We had lots of good laughs, told stories, and had a great visit that was definitely long overdue. The perfect day.
If we would have brought in all 12 reds, would we have taken a picture and posted, probably so. But we didn’t and that is absolutely ok. We lost a couple and missed a few, but that is fishing some days. We ended our day with 6 good reds, which I am thankful for.
My goal every trip is to work my tail off and provide a fun day on the water, and that is what I do. If any guide tells you that you are going to limit out every time you go, he or she is full of it. That just doesn’t happen. No one is that lucky.
I guess what I’m getting at is that far too many people in today’s society have lost sight of what a great day on the water should be. It should be about making new friends, spending time with the friends you have and your loved ones. Yes, catching fish is definitely a priority, but it’s not my main goal. A fun and safe day is.
Let’s go try our luck together.
