Son #1 is approaching manhood. At four years old, he's indicated a willingness to join his dad in pursuit of all things finned and slimy this coming season.Soooooo, I'm considering purchasing a 14-16' boat for freshwater exploits this summer. Of course this will be followed by bigger and better in the coming years, Right?
Stay tuned as his mother is eagerly anticipating our "diamond" anniversary next year. What should I tell her? What would you do?  |

DF,
I knew something was fishy here when my wife indicated our "diamond" anniversary was near. The nerve of some women...she just doesn't want me to get the boat   |

I'm still donning waders after work chasing bass around metro boston. It's getting cold and the bite is slowing down. Starting the year with a lay off with about 10 other Plumbers....not a good thing...but the bright side is....a warm destination with hopefully a kayak rental will be in the works.
Wishing everyone a happy new year and new personal bests in Twenty Nine.

Your son may be 4, but youth sports loom on the horizon and very quickly they will consume more of your free time than fishing. A happy wife is a better aid to successful fishing than a boat. It is a lot of work caring for several small boys and letting her know you realize and appreciate it means a lot.
I've got a 10ft Lowes Jon boat you can borrow for a few years if you want. Annoyingly small, but it will get you and a coupla small kids around a pond. |
