Getting back at it

[jac63]

Hey everybody. Been reading for a while and thought I'd sign up. I ain't been fishing for something like 10-12 years but that's going to change soon. I used to do a lot of fishing, mostly rod & reel for cats on the Missouri and the Gasconade but some bass & crappie as well in lakes and ponds. Then somehow I let work take more and more of my time until I just quit going at all, sold my boat and gave it up completely. For some time now I've been getting the urge to rekindle the fishing fire and get back on the water. In three weeks I'll be taking my first vacation since 1999 and we are going to spend 5 days at Pomme De Terre with our daughter and grand daughter. I'll be bank bound but I am going to fish again and I'm going to do so with my 6 year old grand daughter (and her mother), hopefully the first of many fishing trips we take together. I am boat shopping but in no great hurry at this time. Just not sure what exactly I want and trying to decide what my budget will allow. Anyway I wanted to say hi to everyone and thanks for letting me play again. 😎

Life intervenes sometimes.   The cool thing about fish is that when you decide to get back after them they are always waiting right where you left them.

Thanks, been itching to get back at it for nearly 2 years now. Feels good to take that first step back and I'm getting near as bad as a kid on Christmas morning from the anticipation. Next 3 weeks are going to be long, long days.
