The Wake
It’s a calm clear morning. The lake is calm. It’s just as the sun is coming over the horizon. A boat goes by towards Smith Camps. The wake of the boat sends waves out in both directions. Shortly, the boat is gone but the waves still travel outward. Because I’ve passed by this way my Read More …

Fish Finder ≠ Fish Catcher
