2000-year-old advice

Sounds good but, unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way as much as I'd like it to.

"Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish."

Hhhmmm.....I wonder what kind of electronics Ovid was using.

;D

Hey Marty I have an updated version of that from this summer

WHEN YOU ARE FISHING FROM BOAT AND HOOK GOES ON TREE ON SOMBODYS PRIVATE PROPERTY LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS OR ROTTWEILER MIGHT APPEAR WHEN YOU DONT EXPECT IT ;D

The first part is absolutely true, "Let your hook be always cast", you can't catch fish if your hook is not in the water.

Hey muddy-man, one time me and my buddy were fishing a local pond and he hung his jerkbait in a tree so we pull up to shore and this little chihuah comes running down the hill, we didn't think much of it until a big nasty rotweiler about twice my size comes screaming down the hill. Lets just say we put that trolling motor to work... ;D ;D ;D  

just a funny story I thought I'd share.

Sounds like one of those old "Confucius say" jokes.  

I definitely like to keep my distance from Rottweilers!!

His girlfriend put a plug on their Christmas Tree he didnt see the humor in this ;D

That gives me an idea for where to put my sons Christmas present. Although I should get him a megaphone, He had a steel leader on this summer on a lake filled with pike, he birdnested his reel and I told him to let me know when it was OK to engage the trolling motor. I heard him mumble OK and then I proceeded to wrap the leader in the trolling motor prop shaft.
