 Sometimes I think there are lots of fish all around me but I just don't
 know how to catch them. A fishing guide on TV said to look at
 a trout stream and any place big enough to put your foot is 
 big enough to hold a trout. In the Summer, when the weed growth is
 thick, fish could be all around our boat but we wont catch anything.
 Too many snags. I just learned to make weedless rigs in September 
 of last year. This Summer I hope to develop my in-the-weeds 
 fishing skills more thoroughly.
... I saw the biggest pike swim by and brush the boat it was awesome
