A Weekend

Today as I took a walk around Argenton, I went by the lake.  Being a Saturday, the edge of the water was filled with fishermen.  I have never witnessed such a production.  They all had huge bags that carried light-weight pipes that attach to each other and then a fishing pole is added to the end.  There is a cross piece which they place behind themselves to pull the long pole back in on.  I don't understand the reasoning for this.  They don't cast the line out, they put it out on their huge poles!  One day I shall find the answer!  Quite interesting.
