HEY DOC, I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT, ONE COMING IN ON ONE SIDE OF THE ARK AND ANOTHER COMING IN ON THE OTHER SIDE. HER IS SOMETHING TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A NEW BORN BABY. IT HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH DOWN HILL SINCE I HIT 85 SEVERAL YEARS BACK, LAST YEAR I ONLY GOT TO GO FISHING 2 DAYS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. I HAVE GONE ONE DAY THIS YEAR, SEVERAL WEEKS BACK, AND WE DID NOT CATCH THE FIRST FISH, WHAT IS WORSE IS WE NEVER EVEN SAW A FISH OR BIRD WHILE WE WERE ON THE WATER. I SURE HOPE TO GET BAACK TO THE COAST THIS THURS. AND HOPEFULLY CATCH A LIMIT OF BIG TROUTS AND MAYBE A RED OR TWO.

Hey- You guys need to know that I got great grandchildren 6 years old. You can still fish late into your 70's and play golf. I came in third today in a golf tournament and I'm 75. Boys, enjoy it while you can. The older you get the more that you live off of memory if you know what I mean. Good fishing to all this Spring- Daybreak
