As a group, many of us have known each other for a decade, even two.
I have not been fishing much as life takes its toll in responsibility, though next year I plan to change that a bit.
One thing I do though when standing out on my rock, whichever rock it happens to be at the time, is say hello to a bunch of people, most I have known well, some not at all. I will often start with a kid named Ryan that I never met. Gary's kid, passed when he was very, very young. But that was what started this for me. My son was about the same age, and now 14, great kid. I have asked Ryan to keep an eye out for my Liam, and I think maybe he has.
Since then I have added Johnny Habs, Steve, Mike White, Chuck, and several others. This year adds 1DR, and Tony to the roster, and now Joe. Joe will be tough. He was a great guy, so kind and nice to others. Genuine.
I have been accused (accurately) of singing to fish in order to get hits, and I do - its true. But when I am silent, I am also saying hello and How Ya Doing to my friends that have gone first.
