Around the Corner has arrived

In many ways, this is my favorite time of year for fishing and today proved to me exactly why this is so.  Here's a day of fishing in the early spring...  Go into basement, grab rod, boots, pliers (if I actually remember to), add a layer of clothing ('cuz it's always colder on the water), drive down to the harbor, walk down to the water and take a few casts.  True enough, sometimes this is just "practice" but once it "happens" it's the best and today it "happened".  Noon-time, took a few casts -ZERO.  5pm, first cast -nothing, 2nd cast -BAM! 24" fish!  Yeah!  10 more casts, 4 more fish, 3 of them 26" - 28".  Twenty minutes, 6 fish and it was time to go home for dinner!  The season has started!
