Poker and Fishing Update

The end of the ice fishing season was quite a disappointment. I went out to Coon Lake on a Friday night and caught 9 crappies in about 30 minutes and then spent the next two hours trying (and failing) to catch my limit. The next day, the weather got really warm and I never went out again.

This past weekend, I made my initial foray into open water fishing. I went to Turtle Lake with the intention of catching a few crappies. For that goal, I failed miserably. I caught at least a half-dozen bass, even though they are still out of season. The weather was a little cold (and windy... which really sucks in a canoe) and since I wasn't catching crappies... I left early.

I'm thinking about bringing the big boat out this weekend. We'll have to see how it goes.

The poker has been pretty good lately. So far this year, I have basically been clearing bonuses as my only source of profit. Lately, though, I have been playing fewer tables and concentrating better and I have generally been doing better. It would be ideal if I were to play a single table of $1/$2 limit hold'em, but I get bored and I don't have the discipline to stick to it. So, I manage to keep my bankroll in the $350-$450 range, just [barely] enough to play at that level.
