No longer physically able to. My body can’t cash checks my mind wants to. Has to be a day off or weekend the next day. Physical work wears on muscles and joints. I’m almost as old as Makai

Long time gone, even though I’m retired, I enjoy not having to set an alarm more than catching another fish.

I'm pretty much like the rest of you...heart and mind is willing but 3 nights a week with a day to recover in between is the best I can manage ( on a good week)... Monday night I fished until a little after 1.. by the time I got back home it was 2:45.. that 6:00 AM alarm was not my friend..Tuesday night I never saw the first spin of "wheel".. I felt like a zombie all day...fishing has been real good this year.. that last time it was this good ( 11 years ago) 3 days in a row didn't seem so hard...now it's just a dream... I took 7 large and lost a real screamer to a lobster pot Monday night.. I also had a bunch of 6-10lb fish.. I left them biting.. back "in the day" I probably would have stayed out all night and went straight to work...staying awake on the adrenalin of that lost fish...

It took me 3 days to recover from 2 coors lights and 4 hours sleep.
20 years ago it wouldn’t have even phased me.

Trying but failing most days. Just not fun to do that anymore. Took me a long time to figure that out.

Methinks we're all victims of father time....used to jump around rocks like a billy goat- now it's more like slug. The older I get the more I like the sand .

I enjoy getting up at 3:30-4:00am.....jumping in the truck and launching the yak at false dawn! On a good week when things are not too busy with everything I can do that 3 times a week but I am junk the entire day!

Oh, I can get up at o dark thirty.... it's the proximity to the toilet that can be the challenge in that first hour.... especially if the coffee has been loaded! Getting old is not for pussies.

I used to make a biweekly friday nite trip to RI or NH/ME from Vermont
Drive over or down Friday after work, fish all nite nap Saturday, Fish all nite Nap and drive home
Now at 63 I play Golf, but I do walk as long as it's not over 80 something.

I work at a golf course mowing and cutting trees (when the temp isn't over 85.) I do get to play for free so Jeanne and I play at least twice a week.

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)

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.

Been 10 years plus since I last did that. Shoot for quality over quantity (number of nights). Enjoy fishing for schoolies with my 9 year old most.
