If you have read any of my Active Rain posts, you have probably figured out that I enjoy fishing. I love to fish. Some days I down right NEED to fish. There is a fishing analogy for just about every event in life from dating, to real estate, and even dealing with family.

I have found that if you stop for just a second, and apply basic principals of fishing to even the most pickled of situations, there is wisdom to be found.

This weekend is the 2009 FISHING FOR MIRALCES KING MACKEREL tournament in Charleston,SC. Not only does the name inspire but it draws the best anglers, boat enthusiasts, and "the big one" dreamers from all over the east coast.

So....why am I working? As much as I would like to smell the fuel steaming from not one, but TWO 350 horsepower Yamahas, I am happily taking a more supportive role:).

Marine 1 Realty is sponsoring MEAN C II. Reed Weatherford, Clark Truluck, and Field Hucks are three of the best anglers around, if "the big one" is out there, she will be riding home with these fellas.

The Children of MUSC will benefit greatly from the fish tales and follies of this great event. Personally, I can't think of a better reason to support a fishing team.

So Friday and Saturday, I will be anxiously awaiting the news knowing all the while that if you are going to fish.....might as well be for MIRACLES!

Good Luck MEAN C II and GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN OF MUSC!
