The sun is rising
The dew is forming,
I’m in my blind
It’s opening morning.
After waiting an hour or so,
I see a ten point buck
With a couple of doe.
Hoping the buck wouldn’t dart,
Wouldn’t you know
I had to fart.
Once it started it would not stop,
I killed that buck
Without a shot.

Memories are made everyday.
They are etched in our mind.
Before they fade,
write them down,
and pass them on to
your family.

And a great windstorm
arose, and the waves
beat into the boat,
So that it was already filling.
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace be still!”
And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:37, 39

“Graduation to the next
Level of sportsmanship
Is accomplished
By the level of difficulty
The sportsman imposes
Upon himself.”
Author, J. Slinskey

The
Fisherman’s Prayer

I pray the Lord my soul to keep, While fishing out there in the deep, And may you grant my fondest wish, And help me land a giant fish

My friends say I exaggerate, My fish’s width and height and weight, So please forgive me if I brag, About the size of those I snag

I should die before I wake, I pray that Heaven has a lake, I need no halos, things like that
If You’ll just let me wear my hat.

“A fish, which you can’t see,
deep down in the water,
is a kind of symbol of peace on earth, good will to yourself.
Fishing gives a man some time
to think. It gives him some
time to collect his thoughts and rearrange them kind of neat,
in an orderly fashion.”

Robert Ruark
The Old Man and the Boy

“The two best times to
fish is when it’s rainin’
And when it ain’t.”
-Patrick F McManus

“The Sportsman lives his
life vicariously.
For he secretly yearns to have lived before,
In a simpler time.
A time when his love for the land, water, fish and wildlife would be more than just part of his life.
It would be his state
of mind.”
