    sometimes it just goes that way , seems we are all due one of those trips sooner or later .
    sorry it was such a mess for ya , the good news though is at our age we have a large vocabulary and often use more than one ugly word during these types of outings ...right ?

    With age comes the ability to, relax and just let the day unfold.
    Some days are better than others

    Yes, there is that. Usually after I fall I give thanks I didn’t break anything, check to see no one saw it and then I usually find a nice rock or log to sit on and laugh at myself. Sadly it is happening a little too frequently these days!

    Sad to hear about your lower unit and trout magnets. I do hate trying to fish with light tackle in the wind and usually will switch to heavy tackle and bass fishing or not go at all if I see a strong wind building outside. Maybe I'm just not tough enough, but I find little joy in fighting the wind when it's strong enough to drag a 10lb anchor. At least you gave it a shot though. I've only been fishing once this year and have only myself to blame for not making it a priority.

    Yes much colorful language at times can be heard. Other times just laughter followed by slow shaking of ones head

    1. motor started at the lake but the shear was busted. TM only but with a more powerful battery to travel further.
    2. 15 lb anchor. Didn't need it that heavy most of the day but still...
    3. That big rock that broke the shear pin was located and a floating marker (empty milk carton with fluorescent tape) attached tp a heavy weight placed on top. Note: the top of the rock was only 2.5' from the surface surrounded by 10' of water. No wonder the pin broke!
    4. The sun was bright in the am but the clouds moved in along with mild breezes or still air.
    5. Brought the camera and last night found out why the blurry pictures. Now the images are nice and sharp.
    5. Found a pattern: pad and pad pockets all along the west shore. Yellow and white perch schools. Fish pounded different designs and in 58 degree water no less! 64 fish caught!
    6. The traffic on the way home moved at a proper speed.

    Nice man! The proof will always be in the pictures. (At my age, photographs ARE my memories of events - especially those that will never happen again in my lifetime.)
    I've already started to reproduce some of the lures in my reply but only because I kept a seperate bag of those that did well - memory not required.

    When I was younger I used to wonder why "Old People" had so many bruises. Parents told me they have thin skin and they bruise easy.....I now know the truth ...it's from us running into door frames. ROFL
