Indian Point area - 6/19/18

I haven't been out for a while. but got out about 7 a.m. this morning hoping for the top water bite I had been experiencing in North Indian around my dock - nothing.  I tried my long gravel points on the White that generally treat me fairly this time of year using drop shot at about 30 fow- nothing noted on the locator.  Tried a few more of my favorite spots (different type of ground) and again nothing.  About 8:30 a.m. I was thinking about heading home as I promised the wife I would be back by 9:30 to do something we had agreed on.

 I recalled reading Bill B. post earlier this morning so decided to try a few bluff ends suspended fish over trees.  1st one nothing, 2nd one nothing, 3rd one bingo.  Lost count but at times was boating one after another but generally no longer than 5 minutes between bites.  I believe I caught over 20, lost several on the way up.  Mostly LM, mostly just barely 15 inches, a couple a little bigger.  Never left that spot until 10:30 a.m. after calling the wife and getting a reprieve. All in 80 fow suspended at 30 ft.  over trees at a bluff end.  They were still biting when I left.

One thing I noted, the fish that hit came from above my hook - the ones that came from below, came up, looked and left.  As a novice I thought it generally worked the other way.

Thanks Bill B. and others that post on this forum for the information you provide as I need all the help I can get.

Probably because there is none.

Take all the bad stuff that old people have ever told you about getting old and multiply it times like 13.6 million.

That'll get you in the ballpark of what to expect.

The mantra of us members of the real walking dead is pretty much, "Well, I guess it could be worse......"

We find that comforting in some weird, senile sort of way I guess.

THIS!!!

Flexibility to me is making it to either bathroom in good time!!!!!

The worst part is you in a hurry to get to bathroom thinking an accident is fixing to happen and you sit down only to pass some major gas...Lots of neat things to look forward to as you get older.

Ducking hunting is even worst because you got to get from the marsh to dry ground, find a tree to hold on to, get your waders down, and be sure you don't mess your wader straps that you didn't have time to think about cause you were rushed.

Note to self, hanging out with OLD guys is depressing.

Yeah, well, not nearly as depressing as actually being an old guy!

Heck, before I became one myself, I used to like hanging out with old guys cause they made me feel lucky to be young and healthy and not like them.

At least I think that's what I remembered.......
