The Burns Lake in Hawthorn park was the first place where I started to do lure fishing. It's a beautiful lake surrounding by a forest, hiking trails, and camping sites, and family BBQ facilities. Hawthorn park is located around the back of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (almost 15 to 20-minute drive from my apartment).
Take a look at the scenery….!!! Really hope we have this kind of beautiful parks in Taiwan.
Hawthorn park has lots of wild animals. It's spring time…so it's quite usual for people to see snakes, geese, turtles, ducks, and so on. This snake is probably a baby Northern Water snake.
Connie is still my best company….she takes me everywhere without any complaints and she never says "No."
I love you, Connie! Really……I really hope I could still be with you when I go back to Taiwan.

Do I look tanned? Oh, absolutely!
I've been enjoying outdoor fishing activities a lot recently.
I still remember the first three days in 2008: I didn't catch anything at all.
The picture was taken in Chinook Fish & Wildlife Area. I was using Texas rig with a Yum Crawbug. (1/8 bullet weight with 4/0 Owner Twistlock Hook.)
Oh! The rod and reel is my new fishing "weapon" :
Gander Mountain Advantage Series IM6 6.6' Medium Casting Rod
Shimano CU201 E7 (left-hand retrieve, 6+1 Ball Bearings, 7.0:1 Gear Ratio)
This picture was taken in the unknown lake beside Hawthorn park.
I guess it is over 37 centimeters.
Rig: Texas rig (1/8 bullet weight with Owner Twistlock Hook)
Lure: Gender Mountain 10" Grape color, Ribbon-tail worm
Oh! This is not a bass….!!! This is a puppy!!!!!! Hahahahahaha……
I broke my own record on June 3, 2009. This fat cutie was caught in Hawthorn park.
Rig: Drop shot (3/16 bell weight with GAMAKATSU 1/0 drop shot hook
Lure: Berkley Power Bait 4" black/blue, curly-tail worm
