Family Round Valley Fishing

Me, Matt, and his Mom set up foldout chairs and enjoyed the mild weather at the Valley for some three hours. Cloudless sky overhead, I told Matt the rainbows might be 50 feet deep. Maybe they just weren't passing by our Powerbait, but in any case, we never got a hit. Six lines out, varying depths.

I had taken an inviting attitude. I vaguely felt I might enjoy the afternoon. That we would. I get so involved in all else I'm busy with...it's not like I'm a technical genius, not at all, but I'm deep in research on how to build a Wordpress website...so busy that I forget how interesting and fulfilling a fishing trip is. 

Even when it's just throw Powerbait and wait. That wait loses all anxiety and little things become intensely interesting. They say an acid trip is the same way. I was sitting on the dry, dusty dirt--because, thankfully, we had only two foldout chairs--pulling clams from under the surface of the soil. Clams I couldn't open. Little ones. But just large enough to throw in the water, as if maybe I saved more than a dozen lives.

How to Move the Sun

Another really fun video. Whole bunch of the Kurzgesagt--In a Nutshell videos online.

Stellar Engines

Limits of Humanity

Cool cosmological animation. Matt's into Kurzgesagt--In a Nutshell videos, very entertaining.

Ghosts of Thanksgiving Past

Angler's Journal     I got word of some serious striper action in the surf today. I happened to be in Sea Girt, but that was a family party, not fishing. We talked fishing. Rick's seen loads of peanut bunker this fall after long absence of them.

The article linked to is from 2017. Another blitz involving peanut bunker. Tom Lynch, the photographer from Point Pleasant, is mentioned. I think it's Point Pleasant. His gallery, The Angry Fish.

Yeah, Bay Avenue, Point Pleasant.
