Are we Insane?

Insanity is said to be doing something that fails over and over, expecting different results. I came to thinking about this today while fishing some small ponds for pan fish. I had tied on a red tag wet and was fishing it with the same presentation in three ponds for a few hours. I wasn't catching anything. I was almost ready to leave when I began to ask myself if I was insane, then if fisherman were insane. I have seen many go through such situations as I was today. Then a fish hit. I landed four redbreast sunfish in a row. I realized that we couldn't all be crazy (some are), we just know something will eat. It is a matter of getting in that sweet spot. If someone or something suggests that we change, we usually do.

Some friends I met. They were on there way north but needed a good rest. They told me the local cuisine was terrible and that they didn't like my doing fishing in there motel.

Gross.
