The best things...

[Peace]

    34 years ago, I sat on a cooler in the middle of this boat - with a William (Alf) in the front and an Evelyn in the back- both of whom I was incredibly fond. I ate sausage and biscuits while they caught endless amounts of fish.

 

     Today, I sit in the middle of this boat with a William in the front and an Evelyn in the back - both of whom I am indescribably fond. We didn't catch many fish, but we caught the most incredible moments together in a wonderfully beautiful world.

 

     Here's to you, Uncle Alf and Aunt Evelyn. "Dixie" still hauls them in after all these years.

 

 

... oh and crappie were biting on Priest today at around 17 feet... worms worked for us.

That made me think of the endless hours sitting with my dad on an aluminum Jon boat. Humming trolling motor and a frozen bottom because I left my cushion in the truck. Fun times for sure.

Man , I have fished all my life and I truly miss my dad and our outings. My dad would call me up and ask me if I wanted to go drowned some worms. That's what he called fishing. We bank fished for many years and he caught a million Blue Gills I guess. After his passing I took up Bass Fishing and have a Skeeter Bass boat and I fished so much that I literally burned my self out on it. I still have a Skeeter Bass Boat but now Son in Law keeps it at his place cause he has the fever I had 15 years ago and he is on the lake every spare minute. He still calls me up hoping I will get the bug again as I was the one that got his started going with me about 6 years ago but I just politely say no and he takes one of the grand kids or a friend with him. I had a wonderful life of fishing from about age 6 and do not regret 1 minute of the time I dedicated to it but I just don't go any more. I am not saying I will never go again but have not been in 3 years but I still think about it a lot.............. :pleased:
