1185. San Diego
After satisfying his request, Edward Duggan, as if he had completed some important task, properly put the two books away, and at the same time stuffed them into his arms and stored them in a place where they were least likely to be damaged.
These two books are not just books signed by the author, but also a promise he made to his children as a father and a surprise gift he brought back.
Thinking of how happy his children were when they received this gift, a happy smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Nothing makes a father feel more satisfied than a child's smile and happy laughter.
Although he didn't have much contact or understanding, just by looking at the sincere smile on Edward Duggan's face, Lisko had already developed a good impression of him from the bottom of his heart. If it were before, no one would be very fond of these things.
It feels good, but since having children, the way I think about problems has unconsciously shifted from my original identity to the perspective of a father.
A father who loves his children, no matter how heinous he is, should still have shining points and soft spots in his body. After all, children represent hope and a perfect tomorrow.
"Let's go, let's set off. I just found a suitable place over there. It's open and flat, and there must be a big guy underneath. Let's see who of us is better today and can successfully capture this big guy."
After completing his mission, he seemed to be in a good mood. After finding a suitable parking place for Li Sike and his group's car, he took several important fishing personnel to the area he had chosen long ago.
For ice fishing, the choice of venue is actually quite important. Only experienced fishermen can easily tell through their own experience which areas are where fish gather, and which areas are the most popular.
There may be no harvest.
As a fisherman with decades of fishing experience, Edward Duggan is already a leader in this industry. Judging from his experience, this little thing is almost always 10 out of 10, and has never happened.
Any mistake.
Lisko followed the opponent's footsteps to the cemetery while observing the surrounding scenery. It may also be because of the ice and snow. There were not many people around the lake at this time, except for a few scattered tents standing safely.
Outside of the cold wind, the entire lake looked extremely calm and wide.
At the same time, because there are trees surrounding the lake, it is like a natural haven. The temperature is still so cold, but the wind invasion is much less severe than outside.
Almost all the anglers who can appear here are leaders in this hobby, and if it were not for the leadership of others, it is impossible for Li Sike and others to know that there is such a wonderful natural ice in this place.
Fishing place.
If you may not be familiar with Edward Duggan before, or even have a strong understanding of him, the greetings he receives as he walks over can give everyone a full understanding of his years and qualifications in this industry.

"Hey, Santiago, has today started? Do you want to compete with each of us?"
"No, I haven't started here yet. Guests are coming. Let's make an appointment another day to have a good competition."
Edward Duggan seemed very familiar with everything around him. He responded to everyone who greeted him in a skillful manner. His whole atmosphere was also in a relatively relaxed and happy state. After all, compared to the complex relationships in society, , getting along with these fishing friends who have no other thoughts and ideas makes him feel more relaxed and free.
When people here pick up fishing rods, their original status, wealth and class differences in society disappear. Everyone is on the same starting line and has only one identity, that is, fishing enthusiasts.
Whether you can be respected by others here depends entirely on your fishing skills. If you catch a lot of money or catch a big or even record-breaking fish, then almost everyone will look at you with admiration and envy. The vision is clear and pure, unadulterated by any other interests.
There is a reason why he is called Santiago. The name Santiago obviously sounds like a Cuban name, and it is almost the most normal popular name in Cuba. However, for these fishing friends, this is a very popular name. The god of fishing given mythological significance.
In another book called The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago's name also serves as the protagonist of this book. The spiritual skills and perseverance shown by the other party in the book are deeply loved by all fishing enthusiasts. Admired.
The main reason why he was given this nickname is because Edward Duggan has a brilliant record in this industry. There is even a fish ranking among their ice fishing enthusiasts, among which he ranks among the top ten. The three names are all his name.
Almost everyone who joins the industry can't help but cast admiring glances when they hear about the other party's glorious achievements. If these things are put in the eyes of an outsider, they may seem trivial or even not surprising at all. Many people even think from the bottom of their hearts that they are not. Did you just catch a big fish? Using a fishing net is more refreshing and neat.
But for every ice fishing enthusiast, having a brilliant record and successfully catching a huge fish can fully demonstrate his own technical ability and will. Every time he fights against the fish, it is a spiritual improvement. It is a baptismal opportunity for the will.
Li Sike can't feel these emotions well at the moment. The only thing he can perceive is that the cheerful and old man in front of him may really have a few brushes in this hobby, which also makes him connect. The ice fishing trip aroused some anticipation.
Being led by someone who is familiar with this industry can not only ensure their safety, but also allow them to experience the charm and wonders of this hobby under his leadership.
Speaking of which, although Li Sike had several rough ice fishing trips before, the harvest each time was very little, and most of the time he didn't sink in at all. He just simply set the hook and threw the fishing rod aside, and turned around to follow his friends. Let's drink together from the bottle.
