My neighbors think I'm crazy

Big_Bad_Trav · 08-13-05, 04:38 PM

My back porch is about 3 ft off the ground, and I have a tourney coming up, and i said, what the hello....I need some practice. I also have a set of poles set around my fence about 10 ft apart, what perfect targets. Well, I impressed myself, I'm pretty darn good at this pitchin stuff, flippin is a little different, but gettting there.

Plus I was able to take the magnets from my reel from 10 to 6, i thought that would never happen.

My nieghbors used to think I was crazy also. Getting up before daylight, going out before dark and coming home after daylight.` Stretching my line from a tree in the back yard or casting across the drive way to get a feel for grass, gravel and pavement in a graphite rod. Then one day they ask me if I every caught anything. I answered yes. They asked did I ever bring any home I answered no and explained that I wanted to catch the fish not kill the fish. Now they are sure that I am crazy, It ok! They are afraid to come borrow things. Fish2win

I practiced my casting in my back street. It's a dead end. I just love bait casters now. Any way whenever the neighbors would drive by or watch me I had to put up with all kinds of goofy questions, remarks=catch anything? they biting today, etc. All in fun of course. Now I have to move on to flippin and pitchin. I wonder what they will have to say now.
