limeyangler Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Hi all, My folks were over from England for the birth of our son. They came over last summer too and we discovered that my mum is quite the angler.......she loved going out in the boat, would talk to the fishies"here fishy...fishy...fishy" and swear at them when they got off " oh!.....you little bugger" she made me laugh too much....and she got some nice fish too despite it being her first time ever fishing....she was a natural and didn't even know it....lol. Anyway, on the 2nd day of their visit she asked to go for a ride on the snowmobile, and when we got back asked to go icefishing. Well the baby and sudden thaw scuppered any real chance of getting out until the very last day they were here. We did not catch a fish which was a shame....but we had a good laugh, and mum got to see what keeps her son busy when not making and looking after babies MUM WANTED ME TO TAKE THIS PIC....SCARY LADY! GETTING ON GREAT.....EAGERLY WATCHING THE FISHFINDER STARTED TO GET COLD.......UP WENT THE SHACK LOVE YOU MUM XXXXXXXXXXX
Fisherman Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Moms are definitely precious, nice pics, remember when mine "camped out" with my little poopers about 20 years ago on her patio. Something they never forget. Edited March 20, 2009 by Fisherman
wallyboss Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Make sure never to lose those pictures!!! TREASURED MEMORIES
JohnF Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 What's with this "Over 70" crap, sonny? Like it's old or something! The way the years are flying by it won't be all that long for me either, so watch yer mouth. Me own dear old Mum kinda likes to go touring some of my favourite creek spots, although she doesn't fish, or even get outa the vehicle, but then she's over 90 now. We're lucky they're willing to share things like that with us, aren't we? JF
bigugli Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 My Mom is nearing 70 and a regular in my boat. Fishing has always been a part of our family's way of life and I'm proud to have Mom along any time. She tough's it out in the gnarliest weather (and she wonders why I'm such a stubborn cuss ) Be thankful for that Mom of yours, and cherish her always.
fishnsled Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 That's just GREAT!! Good on you for getting Mum out and making some memories.
GBW Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 good on ya!!!!! great, now I can't wait for softwater season up at the cottage. Going to ask my mum if she wan't to get out for old time sake...
misfish Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Mudders are the best eh. Good for her for heading out with you. Cheers
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Can't even get me mum to visit. Thinks I live in a room log cabin on the tundra or something.
Leecher Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Great report and pics Simon Precious moments to treasure for a life time Good on ya for taking her out on the hard water Looks like she enjoyed that little special moment you guys shared!! Your mom rocks!! Loved the last pic of both of you in the sunset Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing Jacques
Sinker Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I've never fished with my mom, so consider yourself lucky. I just can't convince her that it is fun. I try every season to get her out, but she'd rather just sit on the beach with the kids. I'm sure you won't soon forget that time spent with mom. Sinker
irishfield Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I hear ya Shayne... and great stuff Simon! I fished with my mother for the very first time 2 summers ago... she was 81 at that time !
smokin joe Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Limeyangler thanks for that great post and pics, I too like the one of the two of you with the sunset And congrats once again on the second part; starting the new memories with the next generation to your family That was my greatest feeling when it happened to me.
Joey Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 That is awesome Simon. I wish my mom would fish with us again. We used to fish all the time. She's just not into it anymore. Dad on the other hand loves it. I'll have to get him out this season. Thanks for sharing those precious pics. Joey
Tarzan's Jane Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 I just love it when Mums continue to surprise their kids. Great memories for sure and don't worry she'll be back.
mistyriver1 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Awesome post Simon. That will be a day you'll remember forever.
Guidofisherman Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 As a kid, our summer vacations consisted of 2 weeks of 'tenting' on the shores of a lake and cooking over a fire. I guess that's where I get my love of the great outdoors. After several years of telling her about my trips to the Nipigon, last summer I finally took my mom to the river for 2 days to experience the scenery and fishing. She caught her first Nipigon brook trout at 79. (she would kill me!) Great memories!
Cudz Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Hey Limey, Don't forget that it is Mother's day tomorrow.
