No doubt about it, I am incredibly blessed. I have three good lakes within 10 miles of me I can fish for bream, bass, catfish; a couple of better lakes 30 - 40 miles away. I can fish for trout within about 12 miles plus the north Georgia mountains has some very good streams, one public stream is catch and release only, they take reservations but only 15 anglers per day one the 3 days they are open. I have been told the fish will break your heart and your line but you can make you photo with the fish of a lifetime.
The strap on the fin has been repaired, the lines will be cleaned, pollen is on every horizontal surface in the state of Georgia and some of the vertical surfaces. Sometimes Saturday with or without my IT buddy, I intend to be slinging line again.
