I'm getting OLD!!!!
« on: Jan 24, 2013, 05:25 AM »
  This stuff of getting up early and being on the ice all day for the last 4 days in a row is taking a toll.  Think when they slow down this afternoon I may just hop in the truck and take a snooze before the evening bite.  P.S. I'm only thirty I don't know how the real old guys do it!!  LOL

Man, that must be nice...I have only been able to get on the ice 1 time this year.  All our lakes around here are still about 25ft over winter pool.  Looks like Ill have to take a long drive this weekend to find some ice....cant take it anymore!!

Getting old!!!
Yeh, right!!!!!!!!!!!!


Turned 74 the 24th of Dec.
 If they aren't biting, I don't go.
If it's too cold, I don't go.
If ice is too thin, I don't go!
Four hours is plenty!
I fish cause I love it!
I don't make work out of it anymore 'cause I don't have too. Your days are coming.
Been retired since 1995. Been very lucky. Health has been pretty good, have two stints but other than that, still getting around!
Love it! ;D

Good for you, Teach, hope I can say the same thing.  I am taking 84 year old Pop out this weekend so I guess I have a good shot.  He can't walk far, but can still snatch the gills like nobody/s business!
He who hesitates is lost!

I fished with an 86 year old today and he never skipped a beat.  He was drilling holes all over the place.  Bouncing around from hole to hole in 4 degree weather.  The 1st lake we had a long walk to get to the lake, walked down the hill and up the hill and no trobles.  I only hope that I have half as much energy when I'm that age.
