Missing My Buddy Mike

Went down memory lane tonight, beginning with my handwritten fishing log, then this blog, reading posts from 2011 and 2012. My son was a boy, now a man. No problem there, we'll fish, but now that I've re-emerged in our present time, noticing that I blew most of my chance to continue working on my book tonight, I miss my buddy Mike.

His porch was a fish-hub for a couple of years. Now it's all mechanic's tools. Praiseworthy. He makes money.

Once, he spoke about a couple of the guys prominent on the local fishing scene, and I had the opportunity to say something about my own abilities not matching there's. I've got some savvy at getting published, which I began to figure out successfully when I was 16 years old, and I did fish almost every day then, besides, but any of you who read my blog know I don't fish every day now, and I don't catch as many and as big as some around here do, either. When Mike contradicted my self-effacement, it did feel good.

But two years later, I realize the status I enjoyed in that moment really belonged to Mike's porch. 

Winter Trout Stocking This Coming Monday & Tuesday

I was telling Fred I've heard of some ice fishing for them on Mount Hope Pond, and I wondered if any goes on at Amwell Lake. But Fred doesn't ice fish, anyway.

I think the December issue of The Fisherman is available at places like Quick Check now. My article on ice fishing safety might interest you.

Relayer

If you want a relay, this one's from the album:

Link to that Article on Fishing Slowing Time

Judging recent share numbers, a lot of you might like it better if the blog was just a link relay. Won't give you the pleasure. I like to write. Even if I just imagine a reader. Lol.
