So, for Young Men's tonight, we took canoes over to Salem pond to do some fishing and paddling about. When we got there, I was the only one with fishing equipment and a license so we changed the focus. We paddled around the pond picking up trash that was in the water and caught in the bullrushes, trees, and other vegetation. Altogether, we got about 2 big trash bags full of random stuff.
The good part: We didn't find any body parts or anything requiring law-enforcement notification or a really good alibi.
The bad part: Almost 1/3 of the stuff that we picked up was fishing-related trash. Foam nightcrawler containers, hook packs, discarded fishing line, beer cans with line tied to them, etc... It really hacked me off. [mad] I can't stand it when other fishermen give us a bad image.
