Pole? Check. Bait? Check. Smartphone? Definitely not.
Fishing’s one of summer’s most relaxing pastimes; it gets us into nature and makes us feel the day was a success whether we reeled in a marlin or a guppy.
Fishing
This moment here
Out on the lake
Water like silk
Zero wake
This time is mine
Alone, and free
Fishfinder? Bah
Just the pole, and me
I could cast left
I could cast right
And maybe I’ll get lucky
A tug, or bite
I could catch one
Five, or ten
Though most I’ll prolly
Throw back in
And each time I do
And that water splatters
Yeah just being here —
That’s what matters.
