Do it again Daddy!!!

Whether taking a piggy back ride, swinging from my thumbs, or sliding down the slide at the park, one of the most rewarding things a father can hear is, "Do it again Daddy!! What is your best, "Do it again Daddy" story?

Double the Fun

First, I want to start out by saying I'm no Bill Dance or Roland Martin. My philosophy is, as the old saying goes, "a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work!" I know guys who will bad mouth the whole experience of the day if they do not catch a fish. For me, it's about the entire experience from operating the boat, to watching Great Blue Herons fly over, to feeling the tug on the line.  Don't get me wrong, I still feel the need to "produce" in order to justify the cost of the boat, the truck, the tackle, and especially these days the gas. However, I must encourage all you to push that aside and take notice of what is around you the next time you are outdoors. Some of the greatest and most beautiful things are right there in front of us if we take the time to notice. If you can do that, you will have double the fun! I invite to comment on my posts and to send in your your stories and pictures of the great natural things you see and experience while hiking, fishing, camping, canoeing or even while strolling in your back yard. Don't worry, you don't have to be Earnest Hemingway, you just have to be willing to share a picture or two with description of what is happening. Just simply email me at afishyfella@afishyfella.com and I will share them here on www.blog.afishyfella.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

This little guy is 1fishyfella. He is my 1st mate. Soon he will be big enough to take along with us on our outings. I can't wait til I can take video of him catching his first fish.

Hello, this is my new blog.

Hi, I'm afishyfella. If you like fishing, camping, hiking, canoeing, boating, or just breathing the outdoor air, you are in the right place. I'm starting this blog to share my outdoor experiences and to find folks like me who enjoy spending time outdoors in the Natural State. Another mission of this blog will be to acquire local knowledge of outdoor fun spots of Arkansas and share that information with you so you can enjoy what Arkansas has to offer.
