Fishing with old guys

This being the grumpy old pharts forum, my complaint is about fishing with old pharts. Lately all I've done is tie knots, help with fish, take pics of the old bastages catching bigger than me etc..its clearly interfering with my fishing. At least my photo skills are improving ,too bad the subjects are so damn ugly. I need a new wide angle lense to accomodate their gargatuan heads. I do learn a ton from these old salts though and we seem to have more fun than we should , so maybe I'll keep riding these chumps coat tails..

Christ Andy, how old are these guys you're fishing with? Aren't you in your mid 60's? If you consider them old, they must be like John R's age or something. At that age, they should put on their depends and sit in a chair on the beach and soak bait for a couple hours before heading to the early bird special for dinner.

They must be almost as old as Seamule. But probably don't have the flatulence problem that he has.

LMFAO





The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Hey Craig, thats an idea for the Vineyard, sitting on the beach, dont feel like driving to the lighthouse or the bridge at the Kennedy car wash. I could borrow from one of the geezers where my mother lives.

I know what you mean Andy. Got to keep an eye on them so they don't fall in or fall down and hurt themselves. So glad I'm not old.

There must be at least one member of the White Bucket Brigade willing to loan you their bucket for a good cause?

just don't fall on your reel and break it snapping it clean of at the reel seat, that can be expensive

glad I'm not old too Paul
