If You Don't Think a Lot of Hard Work Goes Into Fishing...

I know what some think. They think that guy fishes all the time and catches them all the time. They think he might even have a day job fishing. Well let me tell you a lot of hard work goes into fishing. 

If you stayed out there fishing each day you could easily wreck the ecosystem. This past weekend we took about 50 catfish from two different places. You got to give some time for more to move back in. You also have to give some time for the little ones, the ones that Cathy whispers the mantra of "grow big" into their finny little ears before returning them to the deep to do exactly that. So to give these fish a little break I spend my time scouting for more fishing spots. It's hard work but I find the most cost effective and fastest way to do this is by air. 

What I do is head down to the Angelina County Airport, they call it that because if you are a resident of Angelina County there is a local government program that allows all in the county in possession of a state approved picture ID to use a plane if they need it. Need of use is a separate document, downloadable in PDF format from AngelinaCounty.net and required before takeoff. So from there it is real simple to quickly overfly the lake in search of new fishing waters. They are easy to spot. If anyone wants to do participate in this just give me a call. You won't even need the ID thing to ride along. 

Does it look like to you that I am flying this thing ok?
