My Obsession with Fishing

It’s true, I spend a lot of time in my Theed shop.  Sometimes it seems that my work is never done.  Keeping vendors stocked, servicing customers, filling special orders and experimenting to find new outfits to sell keeps me pretty busy.

 When it all gets to be too much, you’re almost certain to find me engrossed in my other obsession, fishing. 

I first went fishing with Bermuda on our honeymoon in Lake Retreat.  I’m not a real fan of the great outdoors so I really didn’t expect to enjoy it all that much.  I couldn’t have been more wrong.  

Shortly thereafter I set up a fishing vendor in Lake Retreat and began selling poles and bait to the tourists.  It gets a surprising amount of business for place so far out of the way.  But then, there’s no better place to fish in my opinion.

I’ve taken to carrying my bathing suit, pole and bait around with me recently.  Rather than wait till I had time to take a proper vacation in Lake Retreat, I’ve found it helpful to sneak in a bit of fishing here and there when I need a break from work. 

It’s also opened the door for me to pick up and take others fishing.  When I happen across someone feeling a bit burnt out, one of the first things I do is hand them a pole and take them fishing.  They usually find it as therapeutic as I do. 

There isn’t much I’d rather do than go fishing with friends.
