Today I went out with some friends on the San Joaquin delta to do some bass fishing. Need to be sure to tell you that this was a day of fishing not catching.
One of the best things about days like this is that the difference between a day of catching and fishing is mitigated by the scenery. Today we saw a couple of fish, a sea otter, some herons, a red hawk, and lots of sight like the above. The rain came a couple of times - at the end of the day quite hard. Oh, by the way, we did not even get a bite. It was cold - so no one was getting much action but ours was zero.
It was cold, I was pleased to have some long johns. But it was also quite relaxing. The subtleties of color and water and wind presented a canvas that was worth the look even without the fish. (although I can say, that days with catching are also nice.
Thoughts about politics, economics, societal trends in our lives and anything else that tickles my fancy. In the Spring and Summer the Sacramento Rivercats become part of this rant.
