Thread: Just not the same

Had a wicked reaction to my first of two Pfizer vaccines that I got on Friday and will return to work tomorrow. Feeling better this morning I snuck out for a couple of hours to the nearby place I refer to as my office. Caught a good 9” plus copper nose on the first stop and several others as time went by but none bigger than the first. I’m not used to fishing during the week and the quiet was very noticeable. So was the heat. JEEEEZ!! This was my first trip since my daughter and her family moved to TN a week ago. Knowing she was leaving and her husband and daughter already there, she and I went every chance we got. Not having her in the other end of the boat to enjoy the time with made the silence even more pronounced. It was a good trip with some nice fish and was headed home by ten, but it just wasn’t the same. Suffice to say that empty nesting sucks in more ways than one. These were some of her favorites every time.
