EDITOR’S CORNER:
“Getting back to basics”. Remember when you were young, and you went to bed with great anticipation
of the coming morning’s fishing trip? Getting up early, waking your sibling, and loading the baskets of
your bike. Bait, rod and reel, tackle box, lunch. Off on the road you go, the chill of the morning shocks
you awake as you ride ever closer to your favorite fishing hole, anticipation building. And then you arrive.
Grabbing your spot, you thread the worm on the hook and make that first cast of the day. Placing your
rod down and tightening the line, you wait with rapt attention for that first “tap tap” signaling a fish
on the other end of your line. The rod jerks forward and you pull back, as setting the hook you feel a
strong pull and reel in with excitement. It’s a 12-inch bullhead, a nice start to the day. You’re twelve and
everything is right – dare I say – perfect with the world.
I wish for you to always hold on to that childhood memory, especially as the responsibilities of adulthood
weigh on you. Happy fishing everyone!
