I can guess that most of you aren't sitting at your favorite honey hole about now reading this. So think back to that time the thoughts that went through your mind and it wasn't always about what's on the other end of that rod.

We solved problems, shared thoughts with friends, spoke to the heavens, took in the creations around us, and even at times gave Thanks for such a good time being one with nature.

Yes, a lot more than just cast and retrieve going on out there.

Do you care to share those thoughts here?

Great post pb! So much more than just being out there. It doesn’t matter to me if I am in a boat, sitting on a pier or a rock, standing in a duck blind or on a deer stand. I try to take it all in whether I am alone, or with someone else. Being alone is quite soul cleansing, but sharing the experience with a newbie is so much more fulfilling! You can discuss the problems of the World or just absorb the moment…the possibilities are endless. Whether you realize those opportunities are available to us through the sacrifices of others is entirely up to you. Enjoy, appreciate, respect and leave no trace!
The first step is to just get out there!

That is a good way to live Grizz! Even if it is just for a few minutes!

OJ. My connection with nature started at a very young age. The older I get the stronger the connection gets. I've learned how to appreciate all it has to offer. I'm a better man for it. Enjoy every minute out there brother 👍🎣

Me too Grizz, some of my earliest (and fondest) memories are from time spent in the outdoors. I remember holding a Drake Mallard my Dad shot on Opening Day of duck season in 1964. The colors in the feathers were spectacular, the green in the head (which morphs into purple as you turn it in the sun), the yellow in the bill, the orange feet and the curl of the tail feathers. It was burned into my memory that October afternoon. I also remember being in my swing (suspended from the clothes poles next to the patio) and holding onto the hoof of an 8 point buck my Dad bagged the day before at Horicon Marsh in 1963 (I was 2). I didn’t realize how lucky I was at the time…

When I was young it was all about the pursuit of fish or game. My total concentration was on my activity and where I was I just took for granted. It changed for me one night in the high up mountains at elk camp. Lying in a tent and very cold and the wind was howling through the pines. It was less than comfortable in fact downright miserable and I told myself over and over that I was having fun. After about an hour of tossing, turning and shivering I quieted myself and became part of all of it. It’s been that way ever since. I become part of it and it’s a very good thing.

Sounds like kind of a Walden Pond experience Wulffy. Becoming one with nature so to speak.

Just being out in nature recharges my battery. Even when fishing with my brother, it it often quiet except for the sounds of nature. A splash, a woodpecker, Cardinals, squirrel, groundhog, or the wind in the trees are mesmerizing.
Yes, it’s much more than cast and retrieve. It’s awesome.
