I'm 64. Up and fishing this morning at 5:00. Home and breakfast. Hit balls at 10:00. Home, nap/shower. Time for lunch. Played golf in the heat yesterday and lost 3 or 4 pounds. Can't wait for the plover patrols to disappear. Tons of bunker/pogies off the beach so have to get the kayak out there soon. (not to mention whales, sharks, porpoises, stripers, ospreys and people)

WITH me the heat takes care of that . … only fished 3 times in July & none in August ,,,,,,,,,Did I say my body physically can,t handle the heat :sleeps:

I played Monday and today, I hate this heat, but sweating out 3-4 lbs every round makes room for a nice number of IPA’s at the end of the round.

:cheers:
That is so true!

Golfed today. Brutal heat. My day off as tomorrow is a full day trimming trees.

God, I remember my Block Island days. Crushing on pink danny's at black rock, pulling Paulie from the surf without his gear while fighting a 50, watching Oak drop large fish after fish in the wash, hemorrhaging all over Nebe's BnB, reading a draft of DZ's book while deer ticks crawl all over me...

Good times.

I ONLY FISHED FOR FISH A FEW TIMES @ BI , But when I worked on the MISTY .. when we had a day off . which was like 1 in 12 days I would fish @ Ballards for old woman with flappy tits from Conn & NY …………… But it was well worth the sacrifice I made :eyes:>>>>>>>> No wonder I was 20 or 21 & had to get a real job so I could asked my father-inlaw to marry his daughter ………. yep & the 63 coupe was for paid for ><><

No regrets in the life style I lived because now its exciting as a funeral & [right] now I have awesome memories .

That's great Mike! I wish your daughter well with her new marriage :btu:

It was a collection orb... which is a block island glass float that has a flattened bottom and a hole on the side of the top to allow you to put what ever you want in there. Sea glass, bent fish hooks, etc.....

:claps:

Chris - I'll be out there (BI) from Nov 4-11.

I will be there for the weekend 2-4 not the week . I hope we both catch the fish just right .

When the time gets closer let me know what you're driving. Keep in touch.

:hidin:
You never know DZ.

My invite stands if you want to come out Paul.

I know Dennis, thanks. I'm working on it. Have several family/work related issues to work thru.

I like the reference to making big plans, then cancelling and having a beer. I used to think when I retired, I would hit it every day, but find myself steering away from late nights and try to fit in two trips a week, and a little golf with the wife. Its better, not having a strict timetable, but twice a week is good, until the albies get here!!! AND, there is so much other to do at home, keeping the place neat, maintenance, some archery practice every day and the gym 3x per week to get ready for the fall trips. I guess I am lucky, but wish my body would keep up with my ambitions!

Made it every night this week.. full intentions of fishing tonight as well.. looking foreword to fishing every night next week as I will be on vacation...
