Top 10 Symptoms of Fishing Fever

  1. Glassy, watery eyes (worn and tired from scanning the water for birds and boats)
  2. Red cheeks and nose (wind burn)
  3. All-over body aches (being on a boat all day)
  4. Raccoon eyes (wind burn and sun burn)
  5. Crazy hair (stocking cap)
  6. Crazy and erratic driving (the need to get to the boat launch first!)
  7. Crazy and erratic boating (the need to get to the fish first!)
  8. Crazy and erratic walking across the parking lot (forgetting boat keys and other essential equipment in the craze to Get There First!!)
  9. Unprovoked yelling and screaming (boat launches are notorious for this)
  10. Persistent cough (being immersed in diesel and gasoline fumes from all the other hundreds of boats circling around the same area time after time after time after time)

Pisca-what? I don't even know what that means (so I looked it up). Do you do the NY Times crossword or what? ;-)
