why you NEED to quit fishing...

Featured Replies

You need to quit fishing and give me your lures. Think about it. Then you won't have to worry about financial trouble if you stop spending all your money on tackle. Let me know when you want to quit, because I am now accepting all fishing gear new and used

cant.  addicted!  thinking about adding more reels and poles. got to have some kind of craziness!!!  have a great year my friend lonnie

Are tractor-trailers allowed in your neighborhood?   Three of them???    :laughing7:

I am bringing all mine over, wait outside until I get there. :wacko:

What an idea!

 

I have a better, however:

 

You don't have to quit fishing because you enjoy it as much as I do. Therefore you should keep your gear. Understand though, that  I would like more gear - expensive, top-of-the-line gear so I could enjoy fishing even more . . . so why don't you send me gift certificates to online retailers and I will choose my own fancy fishing tackle.

 

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

 

In return, I will give you a real deal on a bridge I have for sale.

 

Thanks again and I hope you don't get too bored during the winter and start posting and replying to foolish threads on BR during this time.

I asked the bait monkey and he was very unhappy with your suggestion.

Naw, I'd never respond to foolish threads but tell me more about that bridge. Is it grey in color, made of metal and heavy? Cause if it is I lost one just like it. 

Even if I did.. give you every single rod and lure I owned.. a 50 dollar budget and a trip to Walmart would put me back on some bass. You can bet your ace.

I don't even have to pay for baits if I don't want to. All I have to do is walk the banks for a little bit and I'll have plenty.

I did that a lot as a kid, especially when the lake was in winter drawdown. I still have some of those in the box.

I've found 52 baits the last 2 time I've walked the banks, and I usually do it a lot more than I have this year.

I don't find a lot of baits but as a kid my dad and his buddies would pay me a buck to dive down and get their snagged baits.

If I was to quit fishing, why in the world would you think you were entitled to all my fishing gear in front of anybody else on the planet?

It is a joke, but if you are really considering quitting, please feel free to put on top of the list because I gave you the idea.

For you to find those baits, they had to be visible.

That tells me 2 things:

1) The boat anglers are too lazy to beach their boat    2) You're the only bank fisherman   :D

I find them buried with just small parts exposed or washed up undercut banks and buried under piles of leaves and limbs often. Most of them are lost on snags under water but eventually work themselves lose and float into the bank. I'm not bank fishing, this is just like my version of mushroom hunting. I thinksome people have the eye for it and some don't. It's a good way to spend the day when it's too cold or windy to actually go fishing.

Your description of buried under leaves with small parts exposed

takes me back to bow hunting and looking for my arrows the next day :embarassed:

I'm still looking for my arrow that I took my deer with a couple weeks ago. I don't have high hopes but I'm going to keep looking until the grass starts growing again.

I just mentioned you in my Last Will & Testament. I left you all my left handed rods and all my reels that have no anti-reverse. There you go. 

I said no... my wife said give me your address.....

My gear consists of a $100 setup and around 15-20 lures. 13 year old issues
