Our finny friends…

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Just once try to see things in a different light. It’s been suggested that’s this is one of the ways to create world peace.
Ya, right! No one would like to walk in my shoes, I have two right feet and am left handed. Try going into a shoe store and asking the clerk for a pair of right handed shoes in a size 9 for the right one and the other right one a size 12.

Now back to this blog’s subject….
It’s that season where our finny friends, Wisconsin's native fish try and reproduce. I went into writing blogs thinking I’d keep things clean and sex was the last thing on my mind. However, nature is taking it course right in front of our eyes. Yes, it mating season in our lake for Bass, Walleye, Bluegill and etc. The etc. is that I have a brother who was out late one night and coming home looked out on the lake and saw a two headed monster swimming off shore. It may have been his reflection in his car’s rear view mirror.

Over the next 2 weeks the lake fish go nuts. Which brings up today’s subject, just put yourself in the shoes of a fish. Jump in the water with me for a moment…

For 7 months you have frozen you tail off under three feet of ice. Now it’s time to rise and shine and go mate with the Mrs.
Then after a week recovery all these boats chase you around the lake throwing sharp objects at you with only one thought in mind, to get you into a fry pan. They haven’t even given you time to recover, laying on the beach, soaking in a few rays with a beer in hand.

Just when you think you’ve got it make the lake turns cool than freezes over. So it’s a tough life for our finny friend. Oh ya, I forgot. Each spring the DNR comes out with their shocking boats and fries your nose off calling it fish management.
