It’s that time of year again, when all the fun stuff happens…gigging, bow season, deer season.  Gigging season, along with bow season, opened on September 15 (yeah…and all the little people rejoiced).  This past Monday night me and my cousin, Elmer, and dad went out for our first night of gigging for the season.  The water was a little dingy still from all the rain we’ve been getting.  We had a great time though.  Elmer Gene did the two step with one fish, chasing it all around the front and down the side of the boat…almost ending up in the water with it.  We ended up getting three fish and losing four, before the storm hit.  We thought we could beat it out, we were out for about an hour, but it beat us.  By the time we got back to the dock, cleaned the fish (I kindly held the boat and kept it from floating away while the men cleaned the fish), and got the boat loaded (which was a great experience) the rain was there in full force.  Elmer thought he received the short end of the stick by getting stuck opening and closing all the gates (in the rain); I was just glad that he decided to go along with us…saved me from the same fate.  It was a lot of fun…and I cannot wait until we go again.  I love the fall/winter season!!!
