Happy Fishing... LIZZY aka The Fisherbabe

Suck It Up, Princess...

this is a great line for me right now...it about sums up the way I have been feeling lately and the pep talk that I have been giving myself on a daily basis. This blog has always been the MOST fun for me to write, but lately I have found myself...well...just not writing like I should. It isn't because I have not been fishing...because I have been. I just...have been doing...nothing much really...LOL :)

Well...that isn't entirely true ;) I have been working on a few lists lately. First of all, I have been working on my list to Santa. Everyone knows how early I get a start on this list...so October is actually kindof late for me...LOL!!! The second list is something new that I really ADORE. I saw this on another lady's "design" blog (yes...I read blogs that aren't about fishing...sometimes lol), and I immediately knew I needed to do this list for myself. It is called a 30 x 30 list and she is accomplishing all the "to do's" by her 30th birthday next year. Now...I have already reached that ripe old age, so I changed my list to 31 x31. This is a list for the simple pleasures in life...the everyday things we always want to do but never force ourselves to take part or pleasure in. I am also writing a before I die list...but that one is larger and grander, and to be completely honest, I am even more excited about my little list...the 31 x 31. It is this list that I feel will bring me out of my little blue mood and will help me appreciate the smaller things in life...like writing for this blog, my friends I have made here, and fishing. :)

I will post those little lists here later...but onto the fishing stuff. Today, I have just one simple question for you...traditional casting reel or spinning reel??? The other evening I went fishing with my cousin. I have mostly always used my baitcaster reels, but he was using a spinning reel. I tried it out, again, for the first time in years...and I didn't love it. The motion was awkward after years of using my baitcaster. I do understand the benefit of both for the different sizes of fish and types. All I want to know is...which do you prefer??? Maybe I should give spinning reels another try??? What do you think???? What is your favorite??? ;)

Happy Tuesday All!!!

I Heart Worms...

cause no matter what else is going on or not going on at the lake...you can ALWAYS catch something with a bobber and a worm... Happy Fishing ~ LIZZY aka The Fisherbabe

JUST CALL ME FARMBABE...

One of The Lay Family Tractors...It is so blue and shiny!!!

cause Sunday I spent the day at the farm with my Moo Dog and the Fisherhubby and it was FUN!!! I farmed a little (aka rode along in the tractor), ran a little, played a little, and fished a little. Even though I didn't catch a thing, I had some major FUN with my favorite peoples and puppies :) Here are some photos from my day...

First of all...This is ONE EXCITED PUPPY!!! The farm is one of the only places on planet earth where my 9 year old Lab/Shepherd mix is a wee puppy again bouncing around and sniffing for bunnies!!! She had a BLAST!!!

After a fun day of chopping stalks and discing fields, I fished for some catfish with some major stinky bait that I bought from Bass Pro before heading to the farm. I also bought some worms but didn't end up using them so I set them free in the field... :)

This is us after an exhausting day of PLAY!!! Don't laugh at my attempt at a self portrait ;)

Needless to say, it was fantastic to get away. I didn't catch any Bullhead but I might try again next time I am there...I am assured that they are indeed there!!! This weekend, however, is rainbow trout catching time for this chickie, and I will, once again, be The Fisherbabe ;)

Happy Fishing ~
