He's recovering from a broken leg. No fishing for either one of us for a long time.

When you took your hiatus not only you were we wondering about, but the Bear as well. Sorry to hear of his loss and now an injury. Hope you were there for him and why aren't you fishing?

Long story. No car to pull the boat. Bear ran head on into a pole when his tire blew. Air bags saved his life. A lot of bruises and a broken leg. My fishing days are probably done due to zero transportation. I should sell my gear. It's some decent stuff.

That can change though and you have a nice boat.
I would just wait it out and hopefully you can get back out there and enjoy it. You deserve it brother.

Well that answers more questions than 1 as to why you aren't fishing. Tough luck on the blown tire. Never ready for those either.

I milked a set of tires this year as far as they could go, had that concern on my mind every time behind the wheel. Still had tread, barely. But when I needed 4 wheel drive to get up a launch, yep new tires.

Thanks Saw. Hoping for a serious buyer for the boat. I'm done fishing. That's almost a guarantee.

Truly sorry to hear that Greg.
However, good luck with sellin your boat. I'm in the same position as you wantin to sell my boat as well.
However, it's not for lack of usin it. I will just need a deep V boat for the bigger waters I'll be fishin after our EVENTUAL move.

Here's the last time I probably enjoyed fishing.

That's a nice one Greg.
But if you don't ENJOY fishin then you should definitely do something else that you DO enjoy.
