Fishing Korea

Yeah baby!  And for once, there’s no rain in the forecast so you know what that means…fishing, fishing, and more fishing. 

This afternoon, I had to drive over to ROK 2nd Fleet Headquarters over at Pyongtaek Port to return a computer I rebuilt for them.  It’s a good drive and by the time I was getting back, it was quitting time and anticipating just such an event, I had strategically put my fishing gear in the car this morning So I didn’t stop back at the office, didn’t stop at home, and didn’t collect my $200 but drove straight to the lake to get a few hours of fishing in.

The weather was perfect and the fish were biting but unfortunately, they were all a bit on the small side.

I caught a few just like the one above and threw them back.  This one swallowed the hook deep and I had to cut the line with the hook still in the fish (you can see the line sticking out of its mouth).  I kept this one because had I thrown it back, it would have died for sure.

This is the biggest one I caught this afternoon…nothing to brag about but it did put up a good fight.  I can’t say it enough - there’s nothing like an afternoon of fishing.  Peace, quiet, solitude, and best of all, time for and to myself.
