During summer vacation as a high school student, my friends and I would often spend the entire night fishing at the Keuka Lake State Park. We would grab a pack of soday, some snacks and head to the docks well after sunset. This fishing is very close to how most kids start-worms, spinning gear and panfish. Maybe that's the why this was so appealing: admist the issues with being a teenager, we could return to our youth for the entire night. Some what of an escape, shall we say! In early June, my friens Dan, Big Dave, Styk and I went retro during some rainy early summer night. We spent several hours chunking out night crawlers and hooked into a some perch, sunfish (some good sized ones), and several bass. Nothing glorious, but that's the beauty of these trips.
