Pen , paper and a stamp for photos. Cellphone to make sure they are O K. I live 1 block away from the Pony Express station.

I catch more fish in the supermarket. Pre skinned & filleted. Like those pinkies. ?

Osprey, herons, eagles, Minks plus many odd ducks. Like loons & mergansers. AND the mighty cormorants .

I am not a hamster that runs on tread mills / belts. I am much better now. So I can do yardwork & finish up a outside generator shed & fuel storage shed also. I like changing tasks. Up & down basement stairs 10 to 20 times a day on some projects. I keep things far enough apart, to keep more active.

We are still seeing Nature giving us more knowledge. I love the learning process we are given on the waters.

I had a pair on a HV power pole nest nearby. They would follow me around by picking off any fish. That got to close to the moving lure. Scare me every time. ? They knew how deep that lure ran. And figured out the fish WAS NOT looking out for a attack.

Look at the bright side of retirement. I do with a daughter married to the best Son in Law I have. My only Son in Law. L I G

Never with 1986 & 1999Evinrude 2 strokes. Both electric starter. But 1/2 pull after warmed up. Alferd E Neuman engines. ?

At age 12? Maybe 1/2 hour with silk line back then. Yes Japanese Silk Worm silk was used.

Screw all that finesse stuff !! ? r oadwarrior Is PT Boaters still in town ? Been decades for me.

Sounds like a " just passing thru " while looking for or chasing food place. If shaded a lot ? No plankton food chain exists.

I look forward to helping others catch some fish. Or just become rabid fishing people.

I have " restocked " many times in 84 years. It was usually when tough financial times occurred. Some turn to alcohol, cigarettes' and drugs. I turn to fishing gear & boats. I am not perfect either. ?

Peace time USN & excellent food at sea. We picked up Flying Fish every hour all nights. Ate them every day if wanted. Excellent cooks aboard our ship. LIG at sea.

Also I have determined AHEAD of time...........Where I will run my boat up onto the beach, if a sudden squall front comes. Beached 3 boat in N J Barnegat Bay. I Do it before the wind and waves take control.

I tell family or friends if I will leave the bay in front of us. I have 911 ......in phone as AAA 911 so it come up first...........Also have hand held VHF radio locked to local US C G station and maximum power level. After those all fail ? Drag the water for my body.

Only to Vegans. ?

Most females go on a eating binge as delivery day gets closer. Deer, people and fish.

I troll with both a 9.9 or a 30 hp. Size & speed means NOTHING to a SMB that wants your lure. I have about a very fast walking speed with the 30 hp. PERFECT SPEED !! IF IF IF You realize that most fish are NOT attracted to a boat exhaust noise underwater. So how do I catch them going so fast ? Can not tell you because the meat guys would wipe out whole areas.

The impossible takes us a little longer. Enjoy a lot of sincere help. From those who KNOW the fish ARE GETTING smarter to attacking any lure without sizing it up. I have accepted a fact. That I have to wait for the fish. To get carelessly hungry and attack high speed lures.

We are hopefully over the hump & coasting on the downside.

Fat dumb & hungry are my favorites. ?

Schooling ANIMALS. Deer or fish only eat so much of a area up in 1 feeding. They can eat enough to make it to the next stop for a munching. I have a lot of roving schools of all types doing that.

I never cause a crash. I just get caught in the middle of them !! Famous Cyclops quote.
