ANOTHER GREAT DAY FISHING



We were trying to use the last warm days of October before the cold hits Chicago again. Believe it or not we went fishing. Same place same mosquitoes expecting to catch the same fish!

Everything started with passion. I didn’t even have time to buckle up ;-)! We went down that same road to the creek of Northern Pike ;-)! We got all the gears out and even had some new fisherman, I mean fisher girls ;-)! See the best techniques for fishing on the video! You can’t beat that! Amazing!


I realized that my massive presence at the creek shore can scare any living creature from these waters! May be that’s why we didn’t catch anything, nothing, zilch, nada!!! We stayed few more hours expecting the fish to come our way but with no success!

At the end of the day was that a disaster or just another great relaxing outdoors experience. We all had fun, laughed and enjoyed the SPRITE ;-)! It wouldn’t have hurt to catch something but at least we caught another great day in America!

Special thanks to the best photographer on the spot. Thanks Toshko, you are the master of fishing photography ;-)!

HOW TO CATCH CATFISH AND NORTHERN PIKE


On Wednesday night after work I called Emo to go fishing again. I was full with enthusiasm and little experience ;-)! Emo his wife, daughter and I went to the creek, the mosquitoes’ paradise! At first I started my usual ecological mission. I pulled all kinds of junk from the bottom of that creek. One of the time I didn’t get my fishing hook out L.

Then the show began. Emo had one of the bait in the water and the fishing stick just lying on the ground. At once it pulled and there you go a little catfish was couth. We were excited but the fish was not worth eating it. So later on we let that catfish go in the creek until it is grown up to feed us ;-)!

Then I messed up the fishing string and Emo decided to help me out. While he was helping me something started pulling the string. The fight began and after few seconds we had out the Northern Pike. It was about 24 inches (61 centimeters). The dangerous animal was jumping around trying to get more of the fake fish.

So after all we were happy and all the mosquito bites were worded ;-)!

Good job Emo, let’s get more fish on the Weekend. It is so tasty!

So as you all can see the best way to catch a catfish and a northern pike is to have a good company and a lot of luck ;-)! He he he !
