Unfortunately, I can't access my main email from work so I couldn't verify for a while. Well, anyway, I'm a relative newbie to the fishing world.

I have been fishing a few times over my life but there were years in between. In fact, for most of my adult life, the only times I've fished is on group outings where the place we were happened to have some rods and tackle around.

Well, I got bit about three weeks ago when I decided to ask my dad to go out fishing. I didn't catch JACK (did have a few bites though) but had a great time doing it. Since then, I've been reading all kinds of info, especially about hook setting, and I'm looking forward to going back out. I'm so hyped that my boss said we may not have to come in to work tomorrow (Saturday). I'm an accountant and this is one of my busy times.

The "bait monkey" hasn't moved in with me yet, but he has been trying to text me.

Right now, I'm mainly hitting Lake Conroe and will also hit places around Austin when I go visit the in-laws. I would've gone to lake Bastrop last week but those storms were crazy.

By the way, is there a "boat monkey" too? If so, I think he's not only trying to hit me up but has been calling the mrs. because after I talked to her, she's all about wanting a boat!! YES!!!!!!

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) we're not going to do the boat thing for now. We're on course to pay off the house next year and probably two or three years after that we'll move into a new one on some land. THEN the boat will be there. We already plan to add a "boat port" next to the garage when we build the new house (yeah, we plan a long ways out). Wish we saved earlier because, in this economy, this would be the best time to build.

By the way, can you tell I put an extra shot of caffeine in my coffee this morning?
