...you can remember going without fishing?
I think it’s been 3 months, honest to goodness, since I’ve wet a line. With work, vacations and kids sports I haven’t made time. I’m embarrassed to admit that but it’s the sad truth. Might be the longest I’ve not fished since I was maybe 6 years old. Shame on me

This year I went about the same amount of time with everything happening. It feels good to be fishing again.

5-6months in a stretch for this old man. (Nov-Apr)
I hate the heat but I still force myself to go once a week, Unless, I am sick, I am going at least once a week. Year round.
I rarely get once a week but I fish year round. also. Heat, cold, rain, doesn’t matter.Quote:

There are times in our lives when fishing can't be the priority.
We all have been given a life time of living and we must use it wisely.
BUT go fishin when you can cause it's Good Fer Ya.

What's fishing?? it's been so long I've forgot !:yikesWhite Flag Icon
Greenfish, yep, I had a really bad spell with what is called AFIB last year. Probably went 6 months without fishing. Had 2 cardioversions? (Stop my heart and restart), did not work, and 2 'Ablation' procedures to finally stop my 150 bpm constant heart rate. Seems to be good now, but wife just had shoulder surgery(left), and needs someone with here 24hrs/day due to the contraption she has to wear to immobilize her left arm until the shoulder heals for 3 months. She must wear it all the time and needs help with most anything she does. Will be a while before I can get out again.
I've been 2 times this year. Busy with work and kids, same as GREENFISH. Every year, I put my boat in my slip, then go about 3 times. I have surgery first week of OCT., and plan on fishing a lot after the first two weeks, things go good.
Since retiring, I don’t think it’s ever been longer than three weeks. I am truly blessed. Appreciate you asking about fishing instead of catching. :Rofl
what's retiring?? :Rofl I tried it once and couldn't stand it.Quote:

It becomes a chore when fishing alone in having to launch. Park the boat then park the truck and trailer. Then walk back to the boat. Same ordeal when it's time to load up for home. Sometimes I am exhausted before I get a line in the water. This in it's self keeps me from fishing on a regular basis.
I know what you mean, bud .... I have to uncover the boat, take all equipment & batteries down stairs & out to the truck, drive around to the boat & put everything in the boat, bring the cover inside & lock up the apt., then hitch up the boat .... all before I can even get on the road to the lake (most of which are 1.5 to 2hrs drives one way). Then do everything in reverse when I get home. By myself, it can take nearly an hour just to get loaded & hitched up and on the road, then ~20mins more just to get out of town & on the parkway or interstate. :Doh:Quote:
