The On-Going Saga of a Novice Kayak Fisherman and Confessed Fishing Nut
When it blows, it sucks.
"I beg your pardon?" you say.
The wind. When it blows, it sucks. At least for this kayak fisherman, it does. It's most frustrating when I'm trying to get myself to a favoured fishin' hole. I stop paddling for a moment to adjust my fishing rod or some piece of gear, only to find, when I start paddling again I'm 10 feet further back than where I started in the first place.
