This being the grumpy old pharts forum, my complaint is about fishing with old pharts. Lately all I've done is tie knots, help with fish, take pics of the old bastages catching bigger than me etc..its clearly interfering with my fishing. At least my photo skills are improving ,too bad the subjects are so damn ugly. I need a new wide angle lense to accomodate their gargatuan heads. I do learn a ton from these old salts though and we seem to have more fun than we should , so maybe I'll keep riding these chumps coat tails..:rotf2:

Christ Andy, how old are these guys you're fishing with? Aren't you in your mid 60's? If you consider them old, they must be like John R's age or something. At that age, they should put on their depends and sit in a chair on the beach and soak bait for a couple hours before heading to the early bird special for dinner.

They are older than dirt itself.

They must be almost as old as Seamule. But probably don't have the flatulence problem that he has.

I probably won't even make my mid sixties. But I already have a flatulance thing. Reluctant to call
It a problem cause I am usually grumpy, not a big fan of people and its one way I can get rid of most of em.

I know what you mean Andy. Got to keep an eye on them so they don't fall in or fall down and hurt themselves. So glad I'm not old.

There must be at least one member of the White Bucket Brigade willing to loan you their bucket for a good cause? :)

Or step in a hole while wading, falling forward into the water and giving up your favorite 15yr old
Lamiglas and Shimanno reel to King Neptune. :smash: But then again when that happened I was only 73, the new 60, AH. :hihi:
