So you’re married to a fish-aholic,
or the Three Seasons of Fishing
I read with interest
about the lady in Indiana who went on strike because
her husband goes fishing too much, and didn’t help
around the house. While I don’t know how little help
he provides, I can almost promise her spouse doesn’t
fish as much as mine.

Forecast for Spring – High mid
40’s, low 30’s, rain…
It’s Spring 2002. I
know this because it’s the start of tournament
season and the weather is cold and rainy. I’m sure
that if I didn’t have fishing tournaments to go to
twice a month, the weather would be warm, sunny and
beautiful.

It’s Only Bait If It’s Alive…

much simpler (but probably less competitive) if my
angler could use live bait. Just about anything will
hit live bait (including the “wrong” species) so
there is less challenge. It would be a lot cheaper,
too.

a fisherman - or, as some prefer to be called, a
“tournament angler.” And that is the subject of
this first column - fishing terminology. This may
be more than you ever wanted to know, but it may
make living with your angler easier.

and don’t worry - it’s only pasta!! Serves 25
hungry people.
