Remember when my father would pull the anchor (concrete block) around on the bottom tell he felt it catch the brush-pile.

wish I'd had an uncle,grandpa big brother or dad like that. I still feel lost when I hit the water, but I won't give up.

Absolutely !! My Grandparents started me fishing for Crappie, and I've never quit.

I'm lucky my dad and grandfather both taught me to fish. Both never had all the nice electronics I have now. We were doing good to have a flat bottom.

It was my Dad for me. Didn't have a trolling motor, a depth finder, no such thing as a jig back then! But I learned how scull a boat, tie on hook, and run an outboard when I was 10. Ahh, those were the days!!

My Grandparents instilled the LOVE of fishing in ME! Especially Grandpa, Crappies were mainly fished in Springtime where we lived. Also we didn't even have any kind of motor, just an old wooden rowboat! Anchor rope had knots tied every couple of feet to mark depth. Used to catch some nice Jack perch using soft shell crabs and or perch bugs. Walleyes trolling homemade Feather flies, Northern Pike using mainly creek chubs. Our fiberglass rods and old baitcasters with many a backlash and Dacron line. First spinning reel was made in France, the famous Mitchell "300".

THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND--- ahhhh you know the rest.
