Something Funky with the Water

LAST WEEK A FEW FRIENDS AND I MADE OUR WAY NORTH OF AMMAN TOWARDS THE SYRIAN BORDER LOOKING FOR A NEW DAM, THAT HAS A REPUTATION OF HAVING SOME BIG FISH. WE FOUND THE DAM, BUT COULD NOT FIND A WAY DOWN TO THE MAIN BODY OF WATER. I WAS ALL PUMPED UP WHEN WE LEFT THE HOUSE THINKING WE WOULD GET SOME REAL FISHING TIME. WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH MY QUEST. BUT, THE BRIGHT SIDE IS, WE NOW KNOW HOW TO GET DOWN TO THE WATER.

THE AREA HAS A SPLENDID VIEW AND A DESERTED BEAUTY THAT IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAT WHAT MOST OF US ARE USED TO. WE HAVE A NEW TRIP PLANNED FOR NEXT WEEK AND THIS TIME I AM SURE TO GET MY POLE IN THE WATER. NOT SURE YET WHAT WE WILL CATCH AS I AM UNFAMILIAR WITH THE DIFFERENT SPIECIES OF FISH, BUT AM TOLD THEY HAVE GOOD SIZE. SUMMER TIME IS HERE NOW, AND BELIEVE ME IT IS HOT. THERE IS NO HUMIDITY THOUGH, SO IT DOES NOT FEEL SMOTHERING LIKE THE HEAT OF THE TROPICS.

FROM THE LEFT IS GERRY FROM EL SALVADOR, ME IN THE MIDDLE AND LENNY FROM SOUTH CAROLINA AND HONDURAS. THE WATER WAS REALLY GREEN HERE. GERRY THOUGHT IT WAS POLLUTED, BUT I EXPLAINED TO HIM THIS IS WHAT WE REFER TO AS STAINED WATER. IT WAS NOT POLLUTED.

WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING THE DAM OUT NEXT WEEK SO STAYED TUNNED AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE SOME PICTURES NEXT TIME OF SOME FISH, EVEN IF I HAVE TO GO TO THE SUPERMARKET AND BUY SOME.

GONE FISHIN' WANTS TO GO FISHIN'.
