Very nice BF !!!

Here's mine...
My dad got me addicted to fishing real young. While he was not very good at it, it did not matter, we went everywhere. Smelt fishing was one of his passions and we went together many times. It seemed something would always happen when we went fishing, but we both survived. He bought that 15 foot MFG I recently sold (sorry dad), when I was about 13. He took me out to horseshoe shoals from Hyannis many times in any weather. No radio, no signals no fire extinguisher, maybe 1 or 2 lifejackets. We caught blues till my arms hurt. Fishied in boston harbor too and got plenty of flounder and mackeral.
I cetainly do have lots of good memories. My dad has been gone since 1987. He would have loved the striped bass fishing we have today (and right out here in the harbor). He never met his grandson (born one year after his passing and named James like him), and I know he would have loved fishing with him. But such is life.

Cherish what you have. Love ya Dad...
Happy fathers day to all our friends out there....Thanks BF !!!

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
