Nothing beats a
day spent fishing for bass or catfish
It’s that time of year again, when fishing calls us to the great
outdoors! Fighting a lunker bass or a mean ol’ catfish on your line
just seems to somehow go perfectly with all the sights, smells, and
sounds of Spring and Summer. There are so many great aspects to
fishing that it’s often easy to overlook them. Catching bass or
catfish is great fun, of course, but there’s so much more going on
around us. Don’t forget to take it all in!
Use all of your
senses when fishing and you’ll enjoy the day more
Sights
Use your eyes while you’re fishing to soak up the scenery. It’s too
easy to get so focused on that trophy bass or monster catfish that you
miss out on everything else going on around you. Turtles sunning
themselves on the shore; ducks swimming along in a row; kids out
enjoying a day on the lake.
Smells
So many fishing memories we all carry in our heads are tied to the
smells of nature. The water, the flowers and weeds, and even the dirt
your worms were packed in – all of these add to the experience every
bit as much as landing that bass or catfish.
Sounds
Who can forget the sounds of their first fishing trip with the old
man? The boat motor; the ‘bzzzz’ of your reel as you cast out your
line; the ‘kerplunk’ of the bait or lure hitting the surface; and of
course the frenetic splashing as you set the hook and reel in the
first bass or catfish of the day! Not to mention all the birds and
the quiet chatter with your fellow anglers.
So as another fishing season takes off, cherish the time you spend at
this wonderful pursuit. Enjoy more than just the thrill of landing a
big bass, catfish, or whatever else you’re lucky enough to haul in.
Stash away the memories of the great outdoors too!
