Headed north

[BobK]

So I wake up this morning, feed the dogs, (3 Labs) and take out the trash. Beginning of a normal day, right?
Then a lone Honker flies over the house. I swear that he looked right at me! He's headed north so what the heck, I'll follow him. Loaded the fly rod, my sleeping bag and some munchies just in case he goes a ways, and I'm off. Maybe he has relatives on Pyramid lake. See you later. Oh, I'd better write my wife a note....BobK

Have a good time.

Nice! Have fun and take some pics along the way.

[lucfish]

Get em!!!

[Papasequoia]

Don't waste any time - get out and follow that goose! The wife will understand and won't mind a bit.

[WanderingBlues]

This sounds like the beginning of a great quest.

[RichardCullip]

A note would be nice. Good luck up there.

See you later. Oh, I'd better write my wife a note....BobK

Note would be nice, but cash will probably keep her from changing the locks.

Now that's awesome. In 35 years of storytelling to the wife I never thought of that one. I admire the audacity and understated courage of your actions. A word to the wise though if you come home after midnight you better be sober, carrying some awesome fish pictures and be with the goose. Otherwise your's may be cooked.
Good luck and Gods speed.

My new role model, I wannta be just like you !!!! Besides that's what cell phones are for.... text her. Hopefully you hid the credit cards, cause pay back is a....... well you know.

[Rockstar Fisherman]

It's so nice to be single, but man Bob more power to you for going for it!!!!

Good luck and like the other guys said, showing up before midnight, sober and with picture proof of what you did wont (WILL) help

Never found the goose, I'm still married, a little wind-blown and wet, the dogs still know me and the Cuts were willing, at least for a while. Got to the S. nets at Pyramid and had a real tough time with the wind. Being left handed with a very strong NE wind< I had a lot of practice with my backhand cast Managed only 4 with 1 at 7lbs Weds. Thursday you had to pull out your ladder each time you took a Pee break due to the 2+ft swells(Just a guess, I'm not a surfer) and the harder than Weds. wind. It remained slow most of the day, catching 7 stripping Buggers and then * broke loose after most of the people left around 5:30 In the remaining daylight I caught 23. It was typical Pyramid. Fish all day for an 1 1/2 hr bite(maybe) I fished this morning until 11:00, caught 5 and headed home. The East Walker looks really good. No snow around Bridgeport or the river. It did snow and rain from Bridgeport to Crowley. Crowley is real high and ice-free, so it should be good for the bait dunkers. I didn't take any pictures, but I'm just as pretty as I was in the last ones. Bob

Thanks for the report Bob. I'll be heading up in a couple weeks to try my luck with those big Cutts.
