I’ve either sprained my left thumb or developed arthritis in it.

I leave my wallet in the car but do have a photograph of both my drivers license and fishing license on my phone. Even our MVA is encouraging new drivers to feel a photo of their drivers license on their phone because so many teens lose their licenses but never the phone.

Now I didn’t expect to read that. I’ve never paid a dime to fish at any lake or pond.

I’ve never been to a place where you have to pay to fish but I recently discovered that there is a place about 50 miles from my house where you pay $15 to fish all day. The predominant fish seems to be catfish and the place attracts the typical catfish crowd.

What do you guys think of these places?

I’ve got nothing to do. Give me directions and I’ll help out.

“Replace the line”. Good advice but check this out. In my late teens I started fishing steadily using two closed faced Zebco rod. I think I caught half the small mouth in the Potomac. Then Vietnam came calling and closely followed by marriage so I dint fish for thirty years. I eventually bought a Jon boat and everything that goes with it. There were days that I stayed out on the upper Potomac for twelve hours using the same two rods. There were so many small mouth during that time that it became almost automatic. Troll for three minutes, fish on, while dealing with one fish the other rod was hopping. Anyway I hurt my back and couldn’t handle the boat and trailer so a neighbor inherited the boat. In the spring of 2020 I said what they’ll and started pond and lake fishing from the bank. After using Google Earth I never realized that there was so much water in my county.

Object of this screed? After fifty years I’m still using the same rod and reels without a hint of trouble.

Who is this boarder that people are talking about? Is he on time with his rent?
