mercman Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 The much anticipated day arrived like it always does.The result of very little planning and much reminiscing.Two brothers, from different walks of life, with different styles of living,meeting at the crossroads where thier love of the sport of fishing, brings them as close as they have ever been, and ever will be. I left the city of perpetual construction at 2PM on Friday.Those who know Montreal, know that in the summer, she trys to keep her citizens to herself.Useing a maze of detours and endless road projects, as a barless jail cell,allowing a glimpse of freedom down one of her many exiting highways and biways,only to tear it from your gaze by another U turn detour. An hour later, i am on the 20/401,heading for freedom. I arrived at my brothers secluded and peaceful home at 4.30PM, and we got into the sibling trash talk that all boys get into, about who caught the biggest fish the last time we got out, and who was the better angler.We agreeded that Dad had taught us both well.Imparting his own love of the sport and of the outdoors in both of us. On a side note, my brother gave me a brand new rod.Not just any old rod, but a Kistler LithiumII LTX. This is my very first high end rod, and i will most definately use it as it was made do, I just wont think about how much it cost I always bring a camera with me, and i always am never ready to snap a pic But i did manage to get a couple. ********************************** We hammered them for the 5 or 6 hours we spent on the Lake, and we kept a few good eaters and just fished and enjoyed the day. I will be doing it again next friday, and i am already excited about it.Everything except the getting up at 2.30 AM so we can be on the water for sun up. Actually Bro,(he's a member here) it was alot easier than i thought.Just remember,the Restaurant opens at 5.AM not 4 C'ya then.

spincast Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 right on Paul - what great way to spend time with family. Life has a way of making that harder, so the times we manage are all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Interesting, my brother and I have a similar relationship. All the more reason it's good to get kids fishing. It might be one of the few things they have in common later in life… with me or each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBug Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Paul it was a blast having you and Barb up for opening day. Bass fishing and trash talk always go hand in hand so I will give you the one about the restaurant not opening until 5. But in the imortal,works of WKRP, as god is my witness I thought turkeys could fly, in this case it was open all night long . Just remember however I still caught the first fish and limited out first. So there Make sure you bring a spare set of underwear next week that Ranger of mine hits the 65 real easy and I always drive it like I stole it see yeah soon dad would be proud Edited June 24, 2012 by UglyBug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
