... that Mr. Bowman posted that he received from you Mr. Ken. :shock:


Work been a bit stressful? Not enough time on the water? Don't stop writing about it, especially if you get stuck working more and fishing less.


I know for certain that I have not gotten into the river enough this year. I spent 5 hours last night hammering really nice bass in a pond, but I really didn't even enjoy it. Not like I used to.


I have some obligations to take care of the next two weeks. Hopefully, after that I can find the time to FINALLY get those new waders wet......


I hope we cross paths again soon Mr. Ken, and until then keep-on keepin'-on.

I thought it was quite tame. Didn't think he would run the whole thing. I wouldn't say work is stressful. Being broke causes some, but that's the story of my life lately.

Mainly a time issue. Don't like pissing it away like I am.

Saw a guy at Indian Trail today wading the west side. Stopped to tell him he was wasting his time. Fish from the bridge down on the east side. A couple of places to concentrate his efforts was mentioned. That's what I mean about my reports to Dale. Where do you want to go, I got spots I don't go to anymore.

I've got Monday off. Lovely wife is working. Hoover Forest Preserve exploration if the water don't rise, otherwise, I don't know yet. Maybe North Aurora. Maybe Mill Creek. Maybe a long stretch down from the shit plant or from the SWK canoe launch down.

Hoover, first choice. Hope it don't rain too much. It will be a death march, but I can use one.

hopefully things will work out for you and all the weekend warriors will spend thier holiday by the dams. And to think i was bummed because my streak of 6 plus weeks straight of fishing everyday got busted because i've been sick the last couple days.
I'll offer up prayers to the gods/goddesses that the employment situation gets better.

Norm,
I'm working, but it's 6 days a week 10 to 12 hours a day. Doesn't leave much time for anything else. Just trying to play catch up financially now. It sucks.
