Midwest Realities - A Low Thought!

As the pandemic continues we realize as a people that there are going to be harsh times ahead for many.  The economy cannot fail as a nation must survive.  If everyone is locked up in their homes then how do they live?  

Being human isn't about just surviving, it is about living.  Without income, we cannot survive.  The government cannot just keep borrowing money or writing checks to people to keep us alive.  Our income actually funds the government.  If we don't work, the government has no money to help people out.  They may come up with painful long term ways of getting people help, but at what cost?  

Our children and our children's children will be paying for many of the economic mistakes made now out of necessity.  However, if we do not work, in the end it isn't about surviving, it is about living.  We as humans also can suffer mental disorders of the highest level.  Since this pandemic has started, the lock downs have caused increased levels of depression in many people.  In some cases it has become known that this depression has caused death as suicide rates have increased.

If you have a hobby and can do something during your states stay at home orders, stay busy.  Most of all, remember others as well.  Whether it be a phone call, a video call, or just an email, staying in contact with others will help them and help you get through these dark times.  

We all need to remember, no matter the darkness in this world, we are not lone individuals.  Staying in contact with those friends, family, and even co-workers you haven't seen in a while, will help you survive so you can live!

An Interesting Lure, worth a try!!!

I am sure if you are a fishing expert or even just a novice with a little experience, you have heard of these "Game Changer" lures.  As everyone knows experience is the key to knowing if a lure is good.  

My experience is that live bait is always the best.  I consider myself just a novice and one that doesn't have as much experience as he would like.  I have found though that it takes time to understand what lures might work and what lures do not.  

One lure I have had some experience in catching bass has been this "Game Changer" lure.  The "Lure" is by Flymen Chocklett. They can be pricey depending on where you buy them, but I do recommend if you can giving them a try to see how your fishing experience might improve.

A Great Way To Get Along? Opinion : Fishing!!!

In today's society with so much going on there seems to be a lack of hope in the media.  Everything is pandemic this or protest that.  We seem to just be forgetting the joys of everyone getting along.  

Equality under the law is one of the pure Freedoms that Americans have fought for through this countries history.  At one point not everyone was treated equally.  Battles were fought to try and give everyone the very Freedoms that lead to this nation being created to begin with.  These freedoms included Religious Freedom and the Freedom of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Now the freedom to pursue happiness is always a question.  There is nothing that guarantees happiness.  No guarantees were given in the Constitution of the United States or in the Declaration of Independence.

However, sometimes that pursuit of happiness, whether guaranteed or not, actually can bring about what feels to be a high level of equality.  

Fishing!!!!

The pure happiness in catching a fish can lead to frustrations over catching nothing, or excitement over catching a big enough fish that you feel pure joy over the accomplishment.

While out fishing I saw people from all backgrounds and races just enjoying the pure pleasure of "Fishing!!!"

It didn't matter who you were, it didn't matter the color of your skin, the community was out enjoying the day fishing in the channel coming off of "Lake Story" in Galesburg, IL.  People talked to each other, people and kids were excited about catching fish, I even overheard people asking questions about what kind of bait they were using.  Some were using store bought lures, some using strawberry bait, some were using good old fashion worms or night-crawlers.  It was like the news in the media didn't matter as people were just happy to be around one another.  No hatred, no anger, just love for the community and fishing.  

It might seam amazing that one activity can unite people for a day, a few hours, or even a few weeks, or longer, but sometimes just being involved with one another can bring change in each others hearts and even bring equality to light in ways none of us ever really think about.  This goes not just for "Fishing," but for any sport.  Families and individuals alike should just enjoy the excitement and connections of being active in the healthy ways that sporting activities can bring.  

I was happy to see so many people out and about.  It is a good sign that really "All Lives Matter" in the grand scheme of this world.  In summary, stay active, stay healthy, and stay involved.  Fish, Hike, Swim, play basketball, play football, or any sport that helps unite us as a society.  For me, I love the Fishing and see it as a great way to simply get along!!!

5 Do's for Fishing

1) "BE RESPECTFUL" of people and their space.  In today's society we hear about many dark things including the Corona-Virus (Covid-19).  Where it is difficult to always where a mask, when fishing outdoors, give people their space.  Especially if your are fishing from the side of a bank, being to close to others can risk overlapping of lines.  Plus, it is just respectful not to get to close to others you are not fishing with.

2) "NEVER LITTER" where you fish!  You wouldn't want to crap where you eat.  Throwing crap in the water that doesn't belong there or on the ground where you are fishing is almost the same as crapping where you eat.  Fishing for many helps provide food for their families.  Plus, we have to remember "Mother Earth" is meant for all of us.  If you drop litter around you, pick it up and take it with you until you can safely throw it in a trash container or better yet a "Recycling Bin!" Remember, we only have one planet, so lets make it enjoyable for all of us.

3) "CARE FOR THE FISH" if you can.  Fishing is a great sport.  If you can, catch and release the fish if you do not plan on eating it.  Additionally, only use barb-less hooks if possible when you are fishing, but planning on just releasing what you catch.

4) For trout fishing, never keep any trout over 12 inches in length.  Larger fish help make sure there are more of them for the future since they often have the best reproductive genes.  "BRING A CAMERA" to make sure if you do catch a large one  that you can document it for your records and to show off that big catch to your friends and family.

5) "NEVER GO FISHING ALONE" if you cannot tell someone where you are going.  Fishing may bring with it little potential injury compared to other sports, but there are always possibilities of something not going right whenever you are on the water.  Because of this, always be safe and whenever possible "CARRY A FIRST AID KIT" when ever you are fishing.  You never know when you will need it.  After all, who has never accidentally stuck themselves with a hook or someone else?

Bottom Bouncing: A Sexy Alcoholic Drink or a great way to Fish?

Hello everyone, 

    Today we are going to discuss Bottom Bouncing. For fishing beginners, they may not be aware of what Bottom Bouncing is. For you age 21 and over who have heard of the term Bottom Bouncing it is not a delicious mixed drink made with "1 oz Butterscotch Schnapps" and "1 oz Irish Cream" layered in shot glass. That is a "Bottom Bouncer!" Not as much a sexy drink as a desert drink in this writer's opinion. 

    Bottom Bouncing is a way of fishing. It is a way of being able to fish on the bottom of the lake or river without having the fish directly on the bottom. Some bottom fishers will have the weight above the hook and think that dragging the bait right on the bottom is the way to go. Everyone's experience with this can be a little different and depending on where you have fished your catching luck may differ from others. 

    Dragging on the bottom using the "Bottom Bouncing" method can help lure fish as it will cause small amounts of the bottom of the lake or river to to be stirred up. Once you have moved along the bottom a short distance, you can stop the move action and let it sit there with the idea of attracting a fish. The weighted part is actually at the end of your line sitting on the bottom where the hook with your bait of choice is just a little ways up from it directly in the water and not sitting on the bottom. 

1) Simply remember that the weight or sinker needs to be below the hook where your bait is. 

2) If you are rigging the weight above the weight (for some who fish this is preferred) just make sure once you have dropped your line, to let the bait rest on the bottom. Keep it there floating until you get a bite. Don't get too impatient to check the line right away. give it at least a few minutes, but remember to at least check your bain on occassion. In areas with small quick fish the bait might get eaten without even noticing the line moving while it was getting picked at. 

    "Bottom Bouncing" might be one of the best methods to fish. For you constant fishing enthusiasts you might find depending on the area you are fishing in more success with this method of fishing.
