Bent Rod At Dauphin Island

I've always enjoyed both. One night I was bow hunting bears and the first thing I see is a sow and 3 cubs coming into the bait and at that moment you really know your alive especially when the sow walks past the bait over to my tree that I was only 10 feet off the ground in and stands on her hind legs with her front feet not so far away from mine. At that point I looked down at her and told her to go back to her pups and almost as though she understood what I was saying it was like in slow motion she lowered herself back to the ground and slowly walked away to my relief. The rest of the night was uneventful but after getting back home I decided the next night I would take the video camera with me because I was pretty sure she would show again. Well sure enough her and the 3 cubs showed up again and I managed to get some pretty good footage. A pretty foolish move on my part and I would never advise anyone to do something so stupid as to mess with a sow and cubs but just like letting a deer or moose walk away I got every bit as much satisfaction out of that as harvesting an animal. Congrats on the catch by the way, like they say a bad day of fishing......

The wife and I rented a house on Dauphine Island the first week in April. I have to say that is was the most relaxing trip to "The Beach" I've ever had. I'm no beach guy at all. I'm more of a swamp and mud sort.
The house was maybe 20/30 yards from the water and you could look both ways and maybe see 10 other folks. No waiting anywhere for anything but I bet its a different story down there now.
