Well I went the entire Memorial Weekend without internet access.
It went entirely all right.  
I tried to keep myself pre-occupied fishing for the majority of the time.  I caught a lot of fish.  All out of the Mississippi River in Grand Rapids.
I was trying to find as many species as I could in preperation for a fishing contest that I am entered in that begins in June.  It is put on by www.roughfish.com.  The goal is to catch as many different kinds of fish as you can in the month of June.  These guys are advocates for fishing all types of species and not just your walleye or bass.  So I am going to give it a go, not sure how well I’ll fare, but I am sure I will have fun trying.  I managed to land 7 different species this past weekend.  At least that would be a good start.  I’ll keep it posted on how I am doing.
This actually leads me to another topic.  I thought I learned my lesson the last time I was fishing.  ALWAYS bring a camera just in case.  Well this weekend I brought my camera along, but that doesn’t do much good when the batteries are dead!  So new lesson learned: Always bring your camera WITH a freshly charged battery.
