Weissguy, you nailed it! I'm not saying this to make you all jealous, although I might do it anyway. But as of the last 2 months since duck season ended I have enjoyed the comfort and stress relief that feeding my fish, fishing, or just walking around the pond provide. This evening with slight to no winds I paddled around in the boat (need to name it) and caught a few bass. What was most relaxing is the sounds of the water against the boat, the doves flying around in the pine trees, the splashing of a fish chasing a smaller fish somewhere around the pond, and fishing a very slow finesse presentation. It's a lot less stressful than duck hunting to me, although duck hunting is still number 1 in my heart. It's most likely because I can fish almost any evening i want after work and unwind. I really enjoy it when Tricia comes out with me.
