Well the boys will start rolling into Truro in 24hrs or so for the family's annual Columbus Day fishathon. Family and friends coming for Tallahassee, Maine, Kentucky, New Hampshire. There are new guests this year, young people which I find encourageing.
This is year 50. Half a century.I've been to about 40 of them and have hosted the last 15-16.
I'm pretty jacked and really don't care if I catch.
There are two retired reels in a display case in the living room. Their owners have gone on to their rewards. Those reels will never have line again.
It's not about the fish.
Can't wait!
