Thanks Wade - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Your post about cleaning up the pond you fished in inspired me to stop bitching and put my environmental ethic in to practice. I always pack some trash on my way out from fishing but there is always too much and a lot of it I don't want to touch, broken glass and used toilet paper. So yesterday I took 2 rods, a rake, a couple of big garden sized trash bags, and a pair of glove on down to the pond. Threw lures for a while then got busy. It looked a lot better when I was done. Safer too with most of the glass gone. And what the hell, there were hundreds of yards of line wrapped all over the place. 2lb on up to what looked like f'n weed eater line. Who does that? Mike

Yeaaaa Mike!!

Besides cleaning it up for all wildlife, maybe now you can actually catch a fish and not a cluster-F birdnest of tackle..
Your other 'spinner-windchime' comment had me laugh!..
