My favorite place to be would be the city and are of McGregor Minnesota. About eight miles north of the small town is Big Sandy Lake, which is where my cabin is located. This is truly my favorite place to be, especially during the warm summer months.
I think we all have a beautiful place in our mind. Somewhere where we can go and get away from our everyday life. A place where we can just go and have a good time and forget about everything we left behind. That place for me is Assateague Island, Maryland. I have only been to Assateague Island two or three times but I for sure would love to go down again, sometime soon. The experience that I had down there was amazing.
Lake Erie is thriving biologically but not in the way one might think. It’s poisoned with toxic algal blooms that grow in the phosphorus-concentrated waters millions of Canadians and Americas alike depend on for drinking water. Unfortunately, this is also not the first time this has happened to the Great, not-so-great Lake.
He started out in a shallower spot with a bunch of lily pads. First he threw a topwater frog. He caught three or four largemouth bass but only one was worth keeping. John decided that he might have better luck in the deeper water so he tied on a crankbait. He went out a little deeper and found a good spot. He fished there for about an hour but only caught two. Neither one was a keeper. He made up his mind to stay a little long and ended up catching a decent six pounder. But after about twenty minutes he changed spots again. He found a nice looking spot that had some grass. From years of experience John knew that bass like staying close to grass because there is usually food in the grass. So he tied on a jig that had a crawfish trailer on it. He casted a few times and caught one but wasn't having much luck.
Locating bass can sometimes prove to be a futile attempt leaving one to wonder, where did they all go? During one such outing at Shakamak State Park located in Jasonville Indiana. I found myself searching shallow and deep, shade and sun, grass and rock, dead-falls and standing timber for any bass willing to take the bait. I had decided that the bass just were not in a feeding mood but I was. I eased into a cove and pondered my predicament over a cold drink and turkey sandwich. I had searched every possible hiding spots in that lake and wondered what it would take to salvage the day after such a long trip to enjoy some of the great bass fishing Shakamak State Park has to offer.
In the United States, the political system is dominated by two parties, democrats and republicans. These organizations promote an idea and policy to win electrons. Over time these two parties’ ideology switched rolls and changed. This paper will explain how they differ and favor one another. It will also explain how they have changed over time.
Steadily gaining line on this mysterious fish as the line begins to lose slack a sign that the fish is coming to the surface, I race against time to regain slack and keep tension on him. The bass breaks the surface as it propels itself into the air while shakings its bucket mouth vigorously desperately trying to shake the hook. It dives back down as I continue to crank down on the reel. The flash sun's me, the fish surfaces exhausted. I anxiously snatch my net and swoop underneath the bass. It hopelessly flops around desperately trying breath. I pin it down and surgically remove the hook that was lodged in the back of its throat. Carefully grasping the basses lip I lay it horizontally against the measuring tape, 17 ½ inches, a very healthy fish with a substan clay belly on it. I take a few actions shots blinding the fish with my flash, dunking its head underneath the water brings life rushing through its body as it vigorously propels himself back under meanwhile covering me with fish slime and mucky lake
Throughout the day we enjoyed catching countless fish with our petite, freshwater lures, yet the surrounding fishermen never modified their methods of fishing so they also could experience the same enjoyment. They patiently waited while a rod, as thick as a broomstick and as long as a car, sat in front of them, bobbing with the current. Somewhere out in the ocean was their rig, a huge, crippled baitfish swimming around in little circles, struggling, just calling for some hungry beast to engulf it. Those fishermen never caught much, but when they did it was always a monstrosity, twenty pounds or more. Word had it that just a week earlier a man had even caught a one
Clear Lake was almost always a tough opponent, especially at tournaments. Sometimes, they destroy us. Sometimes, we destroy them. But this day, I destroyed them.
A place in my life where i feel perfectly content is the baseball field. This is because when i'm on the field i can be standing in the outfield in my natural position and hear quiet. Another reason is when u hear the hard knock of the bat hitting the ball and looking up with the ball flying right towards you. Smack The ball hits my glove the game and then I realized that my team had won the game.
Being more organized and proficient at throwing my cast net, now I can go and capture my own shad for bait without purchasing it. With shad fishing with a cast net I have acquired delight in doing it. At times I gather several shad and sell them to the local bait shop as they need it. The enjoyment of bait fishing for shad with my cast net is an internal reward as well as visible reward. Even with the saturated clothes, aching muscles and the frustration, the outcome has made entire the endeavor
In this instance, I am joined by my three older cousins, two of which are guys and the other a girl, and my younger sister. Suddenly, my sister’s rod takes a dive towards the lake. Quickly realizing the fish’s size, my sister launches into action, reeling as fast as possible. From the direction of its movements, my cousins and I notice that this is no ordinary fish. Heading for underneath the boat, we all acknowledge that my sister has caught a pike, a rare, but dangerous species of fish found in Canoe Lake. The pike is known for its ability to snap fishing lines due to its sharp teeth. Within seconds, we catch sight of the long, lanky fish and capture it with our fishing net. The loud celebrations continue as we head back to the cove. It is truly amazing that the smallest person on the boat caught the most dangerous in the
Suddenly I got a bite and with a quick concentrated swipe I hooked the fish. I began to reel, but somehow the fish had vanished from my line. It had came unhooked for some unapparent reason! I did not turn cross over a single fish. Instead I casted again, but despite my perseverance I got nothing. Several casts later my line vibrated as I was retrieving my bait. Repetitively I quickly jerked right, but nothing had taken the bait and once again I had missed a fish! Out of nowhere I got a second bite, but this time was different. By this time the water was completely over run with ripples, so I had to concentrate on the water nearest to my line. Suddenly this gigantic fish leaped from the churning waters. Like a green missile with fins the fish disappeared back to the depths. She was steady peeling line of off my expensive reel right before my eyes. Soon she was exhausted and began to return with less of a protest. Before I knew it the enormous fish was only feet from me. I knew exactly where she was when she gracefully appeared and I could finally see her entire body for only a moment. I told my dad she was enormous, but he already had the net waiting. I did not want to risk the slight chance of the hooks dislodging so I ever so gently pulled the bass toward the net. She went in without any
He had my hand in his, pulling me towards the lake so that we faced the liquid topaz.
The place where I feel most comfortable is a place where I am calm. A place that is peaceful in its own ways. It is the place to go to get away from all my troubles. It is the one place where I could sit forever, and never get tired of just staring into the deepest blue I have ever seen. It is the place where I can sit and think the best. A place where nothing matters but what is in that little moment. The one place capable of sending my senses into an overload. This place is the ocean.
