Bass Fishing Lures & Fun Times by Katie Milner
The day before I came back from my week end trip from Lake Zurich Illinois. I was followed by a couple of friends my folks I enjoyed 3 days 2 night of perfect unadulterated bliss. Day times were spent in bass fishing drinking excellent chardonnay from France gossip tons of laughter. My boys passed their day with their grandfather putting the bait on bass fishing lures.
I remembered growing up in the deep south. My dad used to take us angling in the Mississippi. Nice sunny days were spent getting our bass fishing lures ready. Then papa used to hold our hands toss the lures deep into the river. My brother used to get the most amount of take though I constantly got the best bass.
My pop used to give us advice on bass fishing where how to get the bass fishing lures how to ready the best bass treats. I would watch as he gave us advice on life between slugs of his loved beer the warm fuzzy feeling I would get as used to take my hand when we would reel the bass in.
I am twenty seven but it still feels great to go on these trips with Pop hear him treat us with his stories of how he caught the biggest bass South of Birmingham Alabama or how his best mate Jimbo whose wife thought he was cheating on him because he spent all his time outside the house doing nothing but bass fishing.
As we were laughing around the supper table with pop spreading the hilarity with his stories I accidently fell across a box of bass fishing lures. A thousand one childhood memories came to my head. Out of all of those images which led on my mind one lingered on for a long time.
This goes back to the time when pop used to work down at the boat factory. The big recession of 84 had pretty much wiped out the boating industry down South. papa was at home for a year without a job. Though he was depressed gloomy every Sunday he used to take us out to the dock for "catching them bass" as he used to say.
Sometimes I used to catch a big one mom used to cook it for me. Then pop would take the bass fishing lure that I had caught the bass with kiss it put it into a gold colored paper box of bass fishing lures. He would then throw me a kiss say "you are my good luck charm aren't ya ".
Its been a fourth of a century since then but its peculiar how a boxful of bass fishing lures can animate a daddy's girl form deep south to dream on.
