Need a good fishing partner!! Memphis , Bartlett area.

I need a good fishing partner, I am in Bartlett, TN. I fish TN. State lakes and the big 4, I am retired and go fishing a lot, I am 70 yrs old and need someone to go with me. My health is pretty good and I get around good. I fish mostly by myself. At this age, I really need someone to go with me, plus, I love the company. I do not need a person, who does not like to fish for fun. I do not need someone who is still raising a family. I need some one who can go when they want. I have raised my family, worked hard all my life, now it is my time. I am a good person and very easy to get along with. Please PM if interested. P.s - I have plenty of friends with excuses-wife, kids, ETC. Like I said, been there and done it. I have a great boat and it is rigged for any kind of Crappie, Bream, Catfish fishing. I have been known to catch a bass also. I do not want someone, who goes with me to find my fishing spots!!!!!!I just need a fishing partner. Is that to much to ask for??

I guess it is to much to ask for. I have some great guys to fish with, but they are still working and raising kids. I just need someone, that can go a lot, almost anytime.

I am in basically in the same boat. I fish a lot by myself. It is going to be hard to find a partner who can go all the time.

YEP! I know what you mean, I'd rather Fish than Eat! Lol When I moved to Florida, little over 3 years ago, I was looking for a fishing partner, no luck. Going on 75 in November, try to go at least twice a week , fortunate to have many, many, small Lakes nearby.

Good Luck and Good fishing. :ThumbsUp

PLEASE SEND PICTURE OF THE BOAT!!!! Lol, Just kidding. Wish I could join you but I'm still a weekend fisherman for a few more years.

I was in your shoes until my dad moved by me. I used to go alone most of the time. Wish I was close. Not retired but a liberal schedule that supports my fishing habit.

I thought my little dog would make a good partner but she is old, crotchety, and has to potty every 10 minutes!

If you were closer.... I'm in the same boat as you, fish 2 or 3 days a week, all day! Can't find anyone to fish with, they ant no fishermen around here, a lot talk fishing, but when it comes down to it, no ones around, plenty of excuses, I've heard them all.

Move to tupelo , MS. :ThumbsUp

I appreciate you guys, Like I said, I have fishing friends, but they are tied down, with family & jobs. I have a Aluma Craft competitor for stability and open floor. Very nice an well setup. Its sad when you can't find someone to fish with. Thank you for replying.

Eagle one, where are you living now? We need to go soon. I am recuberating fro eye surgery now, but soon ill be ready.

I wish I was closer! Lost my fishing partner last week!

So sad for you!

A few years ago I had the same problem. I know this is gonna sound strange, but I found one with an ad on Craig's list. It's kind of iffy but I met the guy at a Steak n Shake before doing anything else to get to know him. Well here it is a few years later and Jack and I are still fishing together. Yes we both took a little chance, but it worked out for us.

Thank you for the suggestion, Glad it worked for you. I might try that.

Used to have the same problem before I retired. Friends all had excuses or quit going. Got on crappie.com answered a few empty seat available posted by other members. Now it seems those of us who used to have empty seats have someone to get a hold of and it has been a long time since I have seen empty seat posts. And I never had a bad experience filling or having an empty seat filled. Hope you find one or a few fishing friends.

Thanks, ripnlips!!
