  • Tom all so very true.  maybe I just read your post wrong but I lost my son and his girlfriend.  And I guess I should clarify about my son. My son while under the influence of booze and drugs kille

  • Know grief all too well lost my only son 22 Jan 2020 from cancer. There isn’t anything I can add as I sold my boat and all my tackle except a few things. Didn’t fish for over 2 years, still difficult.

  • If you're not feeling it, it may be wise not to force the issue. It's awful to find yourself resenting a hobby, or finding yourself pursuing that hobby because you feel like you have to.   S

I’m at a slow time for my business so I have plenty of time. I live close (minutes) to NY Finger Lakes. 
But I just can’t push myself out the door to go. Kayak is on the trailer and ready to go. I even bailed out of a tournament today. 
Sorry just ranting at myself

 

edit to add info:

I was so pumped for this year’s fishing season. Bought 4 reels and 3 rods and a bunch of other stuff. 
So far this year I’ve been out 3 times and caught fish each time. 1 of the days was a tournament that I did pretty well 12th out of 75 anglers. 
I get up with no problem and do things around the house or at a friend’s farm. So it’s not like I’m doing nothing. 
Today is the 3 yr aniv of losing my son and his girlfriend that was like my daughter. In a couple weeks it will be the 1 year aniv of losing my best friend. Maybe that’s all there is to it or maybe I just don’t want to go fishing anymore 

I get this alot, but try a different species. Many retired pro bass fisherman now fish for crappie, try fly fishing, try catfishing, try getting your kids involved (if you have any) try ultralight, try try try :)
