I Am Back At My Favorite Fishing Spot

I have come here with one thought in mind to catch the biggest fish I can find

I have brought my favorite fishing rod and I have enough bait to catch plenty

I have a bucket to fill and the day to unwind with such a wonderful pasttime

Some call it a hobby some call it a sport I call it a place where my mind can flirt

I watch the sun come up and later it radiates high in the sky

I feel the bugs bite me where the sun never shines

I watch the wind blow across the water which causes the weeds to shake

I hear all the sounds of nature vibrate their own special tune

I wait and watch and hope the fish will bite

I think of the stories I will tell of my greatest catch

How I was eating half of my sandwich and not expecting it and of all of a sudden I knew it could only mean one thing

I have a fish the most wonderful fish I have ever seen

In that moment it felt real when my day dream passed my mind mainstream

As I take another bite and the line still lays limp as I reel in very slow

My fondess passion and greatest love to catch nature and put it in my open hand

I check my tackle box and fix my gear

I look at all my different hooks in their own special place

My trusty knife ready to slice

My box of bait slowly begins to disappear

Some nibbles and as I real in my empty hook

Another fish got a sample of the goodies that I have for them

I watch the hours pass and finally have to put my rod down

I have to take a quick intermission as nature calls

Now with my bladder empty and washing my hands in the cold water

I shake my hands for a quick dry

As my box of bait goes empty

I give that famous look of astonishment and surprise

Where could all the fish be ?

I was sure this was my day

Let me go through my check list

I came out here early

I was full of pep and energy with all the eagerness to match

I came here unnoticed

Careful not to give my hot spot away

I brought a series of snacks to hold me over just in case I HAD NO TIME TO EAT

I also brought some drinks to keep my thirst quenched under the heat

There were times I nodded off but I was always holding my rod secure

Dreaming of the talking fish that asked to be let go

When he knew I was the best fisherman he has ever seen and he has met his match

Looking down at my feet where I carve a hole in the dirt with the front of my sneaker

Pressing and digging with great pride

It was a gorgeous day and all the conditons were right

I have been thinking all day

Not a moment went by that one of my thoughts couldn't be heard

As I packed up all my gear and reeled in my line for the final time

A thought just crossed my mind

I am off tomorrow and this is the place to be

Where I can catch everything that there is to catch

With so many fish I can feed every neighbor all the way down the street

I will need more bait and I only lossed one hook today

It was a great day and it was a warm up to tomorrows spectacular adventure

I have to make sure I leave quietly and almost silent so know one can see me

It is almost dark and no one will know what direction I came from

I am sure they will ask

What will I tell them ?

I better watch my footing or I can fall and twist an ankle on the rocks

I am in the clearing and the woods are behind me now

I can't wait till tomorrow

I probably won't be able to sleep a wink tonight

I will have to pack another lunch and this time more snacks than before

All this fishing makes a grown man so hungry

Until next time when I am back fishing with my line ready

If you hear me yelling it will be the fish I caught

 not that I had  tripped and fell in the water on a slippery rock.
