Another Warm Summer Night

Not doing anything for awhile always makes it that much more enjoyable the next time you get to do it. The past few weeks my sister and I have been finishing up our screenplay with days of nonstop writing, especially long nights and early mornings when the fish are just waiting to get hooked. Once I finished the revision, I knew exactly where I was headed.

I ventured back to the mouth of King's Creek on the Ohio River. Water was near a hot 80 degrees on the front side of the sandbar and after wading out, I reeled in a small mouth on my second cast using a watermelon seeded Texas-rigged rubber worm. Not big but still a rush I haven't had a fix on in weeks.

I was surprised at how quickly the sun set. Only got to fish for 45 minutes but every minute and cast were worth it. Made me appreciate what a warm summer's night, a little bit of fishin', and a big stream of water could do for some peace of mind.
