Bob, Mike whatcha doin this weekend?

[Got Stripers]

I emptied the boat yesterday, figured this weather would f things up for a while and I need to get it winterized and shrink wrapped. Not often you can call it quits on such a killer day, so I can't complain after this past Friday. Like I told you Tony in addition to non-stop tog; look at the cod my buddy picked up on the ledge. I have no plans, but I think I'm done for the year, but you might talk me into coming down if you heading out.

Little wishful thinking on my part Bob...nice fishes.

So Mike,,, this guy is watching the super bowl and there is an empty seat next to him. The guy near by asks "is that your empty seat?' he replys: it is, my wife and I have been attended every superbowl for the last 40 years but she passed away. At half time the guy asks: Couldnt you have found someone to have taken her place? The guy replys...No, everyone is at her funeral.

Yep //But Saturdays her Dad,s

Gotta pay respect to the old time , Portuguese >L/Y Mike

PS the empty seat , reminds me when one time I towed the tin rig way up into Maine ,past grand lake stream ......................................... We went to this lake we were going to fish the next morning & we were watching this old timer in one of those 18' canoes w/the motor >>>>>>he was trolling back & forth for salmon //

In a about a 1/2 hour he came to the ramp & we were B/Sing with him .
We asked him if we could be of any help on getting his rig & gear out .
He said sure I maybe old but not stupid .

SOOOOOOOOOOOO we were helping him out & I go to pick up this duffle bag that he has up front in the canoe >WTF I can,t left it & it felt like rocks .
I said to him WTF this fells like dead weight / all rocks ....................

He then told us that I was right .. that it was rocks & weighted 86lbs . He then told us that,s he & his wife has fished together for 40 years & she had died .
He said he tried fishing without her for awhile but it just didn,t feel right .
SOOOOOO he but her exact weight in the same place she always sat & everything was ok after that ..

TRUE STORY .

When if was time to split . we told him where we were going to launch the next morning .

He gave us exact locations .....going down the road / when you see a reflector on the curve drop right down to 25 MPH ..........there will be a INdian police officer on the side of a building waiting for speeders . He continued to tell us he was the only indian cop .. & they only had the rights of 250 yards on this road .going thru town ....three buildings <><><>
&&&&&&&& he won,t give anyone a break , they saw it as a legit income .
He was right on target ................... I,ll never forget his logic or tip ><><><

Another memory thanks to the fishing addiction
