Day Trip





When I was in my early twenties I only fished to catch fish.  I was particular about what I caught too.  Large mouth bass was my species of choice.  Now that I am older I really don’t give a hoot what I catch.  Odds are I am going to let it go anyway.  Don’t get me wrong, I love catching fish, but now the way I approach fishing is drastically different.  Fishing is a way of connecting with the world- not just catching a fish.  That is why I like fishing with Pat.  Our trips are always successful.   Pat’s gift is his love of history and every time we go fishing it’s not just a fishing trip, but instead a historical exploration.   On this trip we found arrowheads, old lures, visited Fort Gibson, caught fish and had milkshakes.
