right now, i'm totally on a fishing, boating and camping kick.

I would gladly ditch work, as I did yesterday, to spend a day at the lake.
camping and boating however, I get to have a couple of beers. I have found that the couple days following drinking beer, I have higher anxiety. but then it evens out and I am fine. last time I went camping, I drank more than a couple of beers... a lot more... and had the time of my life.

still took my meds, never missed a dose.

but now I am obsessed with it.

I used to be obsessed with it before too... before treatment. fishing has always been a huge part of my life.

but now I recognize it as getting a little hypo. that's when I get obsessed with things.

not necessarily a bad thing though. I can manage the hypo just fine, and it does provide excitement back into an area of my life.

just wish I could get away sooner rather than later to have another weekend out.

I use a lightweight graphite rod with a ton of backbone, spiderwire line that is 15 pound test at a 4 pound diameter, hook below and above my egg sinker, and mainly use worms.

on a boat, however, I use a banana weight on the bottom with my hook above it so I can compensate for the drift

i love fishes. i always loved them, there is something about them they are so graceful. when i was little i loved to catch fishes. i once caught tens of them alive in rainy season. they were 2-3 inches long. but my mom cooked them instead of keeping them as pets...

anyway i currently have huge fish tank. one arowana and one parrot cichlid in it, i am experienced fish-keeper who can keep any freshwater fish alive in fish tank, given i have that big fish tank...

someday i want to catch marlin, and then kill it and then stuff it and hang it on the wall. they look so beautiful stuffed
