Once again, the summer and hot weather turned our attention to bass.  QD and I decided to go to our usual haunt on the iRiver in search of smallies.  

It was revoltingly hot above and below the water.  The river felt like a bath tub, but seemed to have a decent flow.  We each caught a few small smallies, and also both landed a decent bass.  The fight was good, but unlike our trip last year, it just didn't satisfy my soul.
 
The raspberries were out and about, and we took full advantage.  There are few things in life as rewarding as eating things straight from the earth.  Once I master fire, I will be able to live off the land, and live well!  Or, die from a muskrat attack.  Regardless, eating wild shit is awesome.
