Fishing

I bought a new fishing pole here in LV because it's been I don't even know how many years since I had gone fishing - the last time was either when I got hooked in the hand or when we were fishing for catfish late at night (I'm guessing it may have been when I was hooked) - either way, we're talking 15+ years ago. It was time to start fishing again. The day was beautiful, the lake was absolutely gorgeous and quiet. Seven hours in the boat....and not a single fish for us all day.

Two highlights of the day.... We dug up our own worms at Jaunvitagas, and here I was hooking the worm, major concentration. (Krixee, do not even get mad but we also used the insides of a pirags for bait... Don't worry, in less than two months you will be able to eat all the piragi you want!!) Second highlight of the day, as we were getting ready to wrap it up, there was a full rainbow over the lake directly across from a beautiful sunset. That alone made that day worth it. I was unable to capture it on photo, but the image will definitely be with me for a long time. I am actively and consciously burning these images into my brain to be drawn up at a later bleaker time of year. This time of year is the best.

Just because I hooked you in the hand does NOT give you permission to use piragi as bait!!! AA and I are very disapointed about this piragu abuse.
