Labor Days and Confused


Team Umizumi has got nightcrawler fever.
The Jibs and I have been poaching many gillish creatures from Ladybird Lake, Redbud district, north of Dog Shit Island.

She's aggressive with the retrieve. Gentle on the ammo. 

Dad's been less lucky, but noone's hooked anyone yet.

It's Labor Day in Texas. Here's to all of it being less work.
