excuses, excuses....

[stripernut1]

The only excuses I use around fishing is oh I'm going fishing I guess my brother has to do the job instead. If something involves water, fish, and a rod and reel I'm in. I seem to have the other problem where people want me to take them fishing and skimpily invite themselves to go!

i like how you think

Thanks stripernut. Another thing I've come across this year is that somehow about every kid in the jtown area 12-15 is now into fishing.... All these years fishing alone as a kid with kids looking at me like the redneck that lives at the pond has changed. Now apperantly all of them want to go sit by a pond with the redneck... I'm not saying its not good the sport is growing but it does kinda frustrate me when I'm tying on lures for my friends, skimpily because if I don't my new kvd crankbait will be sitting in the bottom of the pond. It also confuses me how now I have about 10 new "best friends" only because they want in on my fish. I think fisherman14 and I might have to start a pond fishing charter!!! Hey that doesn't sound like a bad idea

you are a good example for the rest of the young men in your neighborhood, we need more guys like you.
always be patient with your "new friends" , you never know when one of them might say "hey my grandpa has a 26 acre pond in paradise county, its loaded with 8 lb bass and 2 lb bluegill. and if that never happens ....well you have taught someone to do something you love, and that is reward enough.

I have found that friends/family are the most difficult to deal with. I have made the decision to never ask a few of them to fish/hunt again.

I'd plan fishing trips farther in advance, without regard to weather.....but I never know when I'll be sober enough to drive that far. :-)

Have not wetted a line since last week in May. Job keeping me hopping, and I'm enjoying that even though it keeps me from fitting 2 days off in a row to get the rig out the driveway.

To make me feel better, last Sunday I just hooked up the boat and drove it around the neighborhood a couple times. I figured pulling it a bit would help eliminate tire flat spots. Just seeing the rig in the rearview mirror helped some.

Now, what I really need to do is relocate to a Ford dealership in the Jamestown area, and I'd be allllllll set!

Thank you! I do hope that happens as well! Hard work does pay off sometimes I guess
