By the time I got down to the dock with my thermos of coffee and my fishing tackle Bill was just finishing locking his motor on the boat he and Carol would be using.
"The girls will be down soon. Where's Pam?"
"She's still not feeling too good. She said she wants to sleep in this morning and hopes to feel better tomorrow." I said.
"Well, in that case," Bill said, "why don't you take Jane in your boat so Carol and I can fish together and it won't be so crowded as three in a boat. I don't know how much Jane knows about fishing, she said she hasn't gone fishing since she was a little girl."
"Her Dad loved to fish. I think Carol got that from him but she said Jane never seemed to care much for it. You may even have to teach her how to cast, especially with these open-faced spinning reels. That was one job I wasn't looking forward to so I'll be glad to palm it off on you," he laughed.
"I'm sure it won't be too bad." I said. "If she knew how to cast with one of those old casting reels she should pick it up real quick. One advantage of these spinning reels is that you don't get those backlash problems."
We stood around and talked for a while, waiting for the girls. We discussed where we wanted to fish. I told Bill that I had been going across the lake and fishing the far bank where there were no cottages and the woods came right down to the waters edge. Bill thought he and Carol would stay on this side for now and just work the bank toward the spillway at the south end of the lake.
About that time Carol and Jane came down the path to the dock. Bill told them what we had decided and Jane laughed and asked if I knew what I had let myself in for.
After Jane got in the boat I pushed us off. Starting the motor I pointed us toward the far side of the lake. I used this time to get a better look at Jane. She was a real good looking young girl, looking more like 18 or 19 instead of 26. Again today she was wearing short shorts but with a T-shirt, it didn't look like she had a bra on either. I thought I might get a hard on if I wasn't careful. I knew I had better keep my mind on fishing and not on Jane or I would embarrass myself for sure.
As I sat there thinking about Pam and the pain I still felt in the pit of my stomach because of not only what she had done, but also her attitude about it. She still didn't seem to think it was that big a deal. It was just her fantasy and now it was over and we could go back to the way we were. I really don't think she realizes the pain and humiliation I feel. Maybe, I thought, I should fool around some myself. Maybe I should try to seduce Jane. Have a fantasy of my own, and what a fantasy it would be. Jane was every bit as beautiful as Pam, Just in a different way. Where Pam had very large tits, Jane's were quite a bit smaller but still. I thought, a good mouthful. Pam hair was more blonde and curly where Jane's hair was long and dark and fairly straight. Jane was also about 3 or 4 inches shorter than Pam, but like they say, good things come in small packages.
As I sat there thinking about it I began to realize that that was a truly bad idea. Bill and Carol are my friends. I'm sure they wouldn't approve of my using Jane to get back at Pam, especially considering the divorce Jane had just gone through. And it wouldn't be fair to Jane either. She would probably end up hating me if she found out I had just used her to get revenge on Pam. No. Although it would be wonderful to seduce Jane and make love to her, I would end up behaving just like Pam, doing neither of us any good.
When we got to the other side and I shut off the motor Jane said I would have to bait her hook for her. I laughed and told her we don't use live bait, just artificial lures. All you have to do is cast it out and reel it back in, then do it again and again. Snapping a silver spoon and pork rind on her line I handed the rod to her. She took one look at the reel and asked me how you cast with this reel. All she had ever seen were the casting reels, which were not at all like this.
Snapping a sparkle tail lure on my line I showed her how to hook the line with your index finger, open the bail, and then cast the same as you did with the old casting reels. But instead of letting off the spool with your thumb you released the line from your index finger. "Just point your finger were you want the lure to go," I said.
"Sounds easy," she said, "let me try it."
She then proceeded to make a mighty cast but didn't release the line in time and made a big splat about 5 feet from the tip of her rod.
She then started to change hand to reel it in but I told her you reel with your left hand with a spinning rod, you don't change hands on the rod.
"Here, watch me," I said, "You don't have to make a big, mighty heave with a spinning rod, just remember 10 and 2. Take the rod back to 10, hesitate a second and feel the whip of the rod then come forward to 2. When you get at between 12 and 1 release the line from your index finger, O.K. Now try it again."
On this try she did a little better but she released a little too soon and the lure went about 30 or 40 feet just about straight up and landed about 20 feet in front of her.
"Come here," I said, "set here in front of me. Now put your hand on mine and try to get the feeling of how to do it. Timing is everything."
As she sat down in front of me she kind of scooted back against me and I knew then and there that I was getting a boner. I scooted back a little so she wouldn't feel me and tried to show her how to cast for distance and direction. God, she smelled so good. Her hair smelled like lilacs and she felt so good up against my chest.
After a couple of casts she turned and smiled up at me. "I think I got it now," she said as she again scooted her rear end back at me. OH, how I wanted to wrap my arms around her and kiss her at that moment.
She laughed as she got up and went back to the front of the boat. "Yeah," she said, "I sure I got the feeling of how to do it."
I'm was sure she had felt my hard-on and I turned a bright red and immediately took up my rod and started casting like crazy. She just grinned and started trying to cast again. Surprisingly she seemed to do it very good, in fact, too good if she had just learned how.
"I'm sorry," she said, "That was mean of me. I just wanted to have a little fun with you. Will you forgive me?"
Knowing I had been had, I laughed with her and said, "No need to forgive you, instead I should thank you. When you backed up against me I swear if I wasn't a married man you would have been in a world of hurt."
"Oh," she smiled at me, "I don't think it would hurt, I think it would feel real good."
I think I turned an even brighter shade of red and muttered something like I think we had better get back to fishing or we'll both be in trouble.
For the next hour we did nothing but fish, she landed 2 real good keepers and I caught 3. One of them was barely legal limit but we kept it anyway.
