not be a very good conversationalist on fishing i don't do a lot of it
well i do love to fish
well good maybe i can learn something
well i don't know how much you can learn i'm not so sure i'm good at it but i do enjoy doing it yeah
do you well it is fun what little i do of course i don't you know i think when they refer to different kinds of fishing i told my husband last night when i called and they had told me that this was a topic
i said well i can tell them how to fish with a minnow or how to fish with a worm he said i don't think that's the different kinds of fishing they're talking about
well i hope it is there's not a whole lot of different kinds
that's about the only kind i know how to do
i don't do a lot of deep sea fishing i because i get seasick but we have a lot of lakes here in this area
um-hum
uh-huh
and i do a lot of fishing for um bass we have a lot of uh uh couple of lakes in our area that are filled just filled with good sized bass
um-hum
and then when i get tired of them outwitting me i fish for catfish
um-hum
and we use worms worms and shiners which is pretty much like minnows a little bit bigger than minnows and then i also use spinner baits and plastic worms
um-hum
um-hum
it all depends on what i'm fishing for
and the time of day
well it sounds like you do quite a bit of it
i do uh there's a lake like maybe two or three miles from here and
um-hum
it's very convenient on afternoons when i wanna just get away and sit and think fishing's a good way to do that and i have a lot of friends who like to go fishing
um
do you have a boat
no i don't i have a friend who has a little inflatable inflatable raft and we use that sometimes
um-hum um-hum
i wish i had a boat but i don't
i think the lakes are probably different in Michigan than they are in Texas the ones around here are so big that you can fish off the dock
um-hum
but unless you have a boat you can't really get into the where they call the good fishing holes you know
right that's the same way here isn't it you have to get back in the sticks in the
is it
uh-huh my in-laws live on a lake uh a little bit east of Dallas kind of in the Piney Woods and the lake is beautiful and i like to go out and stand at the end of the dock and fish but
actually catching fish to eat per se you don't really do much of that right there i catch a lot of little old uh i think they call them perch
right
and then the the uh turtles try to eat up all my bait so it's it's so close to the dock that i think all i do is feed them a little bit but it's kind of fun
oh
we we don't have
we don't have a big problem with turtles but
we do have a lot awful lot of snakes in our lakes
um
and i
i would be afraid of that
well i can't think of a time that i've been fishing that i haven't run into one or two of them
do they ever get on your hook
no we uh occasionally i'll catch an eel on an on a hook but
uh-huh
never the snakes they just kind of
are they poisonous snakes
uh we have a lot of cottonmouth and so yes they are definitely
uh-huh
and they live in the shallow little coves that i like to fish in so i see them swimming by every once in a while
um
yeah i think i'd be a little bit afraid of those
yeah they can they're they're certainly ugly
um-hum
we uh saw a large snake right off the dock there at my in-laws place last year
it was probably four inches in diameter or something something like that you know great big snake and it course it scared the women to death you know but the men come out and said oh well that's only a a king snake it won't really hurt you you know
but it looked so bad and it was so big that it it might not would have hurt us but we sure felt like it was hurting us just being there you know but they're scary looking
yeah
definitely
do you have bass
yes uh i think that uh probably around here people fish for bass and crappie and catfish more than anything else
right well that's pretty much the same way here i
um-hum now they have a lot of bass tournaments
well we have those i don't do i inevitably if i enter one of those i never catch a thing i just go out there and sit and watch other people do it
um-hum
oh no
um-hum well that's kind of we've never entered a tournament or anything we're not that big into fishing but i see a lot of people you know early in the morning there'll be all the boats going out and they'll say well there's a big bass tournament this weekend and all those people are here for the tournament you know
and oh yes
so i think there's a lot of people that have you know really i guess that you'd call it really sport fishing they're really into it to try to win
yeah oh definitely
my
certainly here they are
but it is it's very a very relaxing sport to be able to just be out in on the water and looking around the peace and calmness is really relaxing
yeah it's a good thing to take a nice book and sit back and read and to fish
um-hum now i've never tried taking a book with me i'll have to try that one of these days
that's what i do a lot
yeah
