solopaddler Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 That sux. It's one thing fer you young budgers to get up that early, you aren't already in countdown mode like us old codgers. We're avoiding greeting the next day like the plague, cuz it's the downhill side of everything that's good, unless you value value baldness and decrepitude. And when yer old and creaky, the balance goes second. Y'all think ya know what goes first and it ain't memory, and it also ain't what yer thinkin'. I'd share it with y'all, but ya need to find out fer yerselfs. The MNR needs to develop a fish species that thrives on sunlight and shallow water (other than those dang' carp), that gets up late in the morning and is attracted to (sparse) grey hair .... oh yeah, and portliness. Then they need to impose new fishing regs that allow only those of us over 60 to prey on these particularly dumb lazy fish. It would be nice if they'd be toothless like bass and disinclined towards long spooling runs. The world is tilted in favour of you young studs. JF John I was just joking. Especially later in the fall when the water temps drop the afternoon is by far the best time of day to fish. I'd be honoured if you could join me for a day.

Greencoachdog Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The day was perfect....well except for the fact I was up at 2:30am..... It was overcast and cold to start the day, but once the sun came up, the clouds went away, the sun came out and it was perfect out there. Even had to shed the heavier jacket later in the day. Thanks Mike...as usual, the fishing was great, but the overall experience was phenomenal! Doug...you were a blast to fish with on this day as well...like a kid in a candy store. Whenever you had a fish on, the excitement on your face was just priceless!!! Anyhow, here are the pics.... Doug with his first decent sized Steelie ever....see his "kid in the candy store look?" This guy didn't want to wait around for a picture....so it had a premature release....LOL Excellent additional pics Cliff!!! ... now if douG will get off his slack- and post his pics... there'll be even more fish porn!!!
