Fished a lake today with lots of stumps and dark water.  Got stuck a couple of times that took a long time to get free.  Lots of ospreys and other birds.  There are marked channels but anywhere off them is dangerous.  I didn't fish very long and only had 2 bites and landed 1 fish. 

Productive for a short trip!

You're the best of us, Alex. Why?

 

Octogenarian fishing new water, catching bass, and wrasslin' your boat off stumps. 

Excellent sir. 

Looks like fun to me.  Getting it done in my 80s is the very very tentative but hopeful goal.  We salute you sir!

Thanks for the  encouragement, if I didn’t go fishing I’d have to mow the lawn all day or install the dishwasher that’s been on the porch for a week.
