Then I killed more time, trying to catch a fish, while making my way to the chosen sinking spot. Once I arrived at the mud, I had to change into my leather shorts and figure out how I was going to shoot an interesting video.<\/p>\n<p>Once I got into the mud and started shooting, I tried to keep it interesting. I moved the camera a few times, I changed positions a lot, and I rubbed myself often. When the tide started coming back in, I got out and got some video of the preliminary cleanup.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-15_haf2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2128\" alt=\"2013-09-15_haf2\" src=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-15_haf2-300x168.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-15_haf2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-15_haf2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-15_haf2.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>After getting most of the mud off and changing back into my fishing clothes, I went back to fishing. The tide was coming in fast and the fish were jumpy. I tried a couple different lures, and I got lucky and landed a pretty good sized flounder. That was enough for dinner, so I paddled on back to the car and headed for home.<\/p>\n<p>It was another nice day, I got close to an hour of mud play, and I caught fresh fish for dinner.
