FISHIN FOR ANSWERS

[aceman387]

I WAS OFF THURSDAY MORNING AND EVEN THOUGH ITS FREEZING OUTSIDE SAID HA!, MOST OF THE GUYS WILL BE HUNTING , THESE   WATERS  .ARE ALL MINE , JUST ME AND MY POND PROWLER  NO INTIMADAT ION BY THE RANGER BOATS , NOT TODAY . WELL, AFTER  ABOUT  AN HOUR  OF FISHING UNDER MY BELT AND GNARLY A HIT I BEGAN TO THINK TO MYSELF PERHAPS THE OTHERS ARENT HUNTING, POSSIBLY THESE SEASONED PROS KNOW OF SOME MOON PHASE OR BAROMETRIC TRICK OR SOME OTHER SECRET TIP THAT ME, THE BEGINNER FISHERMAN FIND WAY TO CONFUSING TO ABSORB , ALL I KNOW IS  TIMES LIKE THIS DRIVE ME NUTS ,TO MUCH TIME TO REFLECT UPON ONES LIFE, INSTEAD OF BEING  FOCUSED ON THE FISHING AT HAND. MY MIND TRAILS OFF TO SOME DEEP SPOT INWARDLY UNWARE OF THE BEAUTY SURROUNDING ME I BECOME  IMPATIENT , IRRATABLE , AGAITED  OR AS MY WIFE CALLS IT A TROUBLED MAN  SHE SAYS I  SHOULD FOCUS ON THE PRESENT AND DONT BE SO SELF CENTERED ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU , HUH! WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN. TO ME THESE TYPE STATEMENTS I FIND   MORE CONFUSING THAN THE FISHING ONES BEFORE IT .  SINCE THE FISHING WAS SLOW   AND I WAS  GETTING HOT I DECIDED TO TRY THIS SMALL SHADY CHANNEL THAT CONNECTS THE TWO LAKES IVE BEEN FISHING ON .WHILE PUTTIN THRU THE CHANNEL, I CAME UPON  AN OLD MAN ABOUT 80 IN A JON BOAT WITH OARS FISHING  5   FEET FROM SHORE WITH A BOBBER  FISHING FOR BLUE GILLS   I THOUGHT TO MYSELF. HE LOOKS RELAXED,  COMFORTABLE,   ENJOYING THE BEAUTIFUL DAY ,THATS WHAT ITS ALL  ABOUT. MAYBE MY WIFE IS RIGHT, ITS NOT ALL ABOUT ME. MINUTES EARLIER, BEFORE COMING UPON THIS OLD TIMER , IN THE PROCESS OF CASTING A CRANKBAIT, I HAD UNLEASHED  A MASSIVE LINE TWIST SENDING ME INTO FIST CLENCHING PROFANITY HURLING CHILD LIKE  TANTRUM ,ALMOST EMBARRASED BY IT NOW, THANKFUL THAT THIS OLD MAN DIDNT HAVE TO WITNESS  A GROWN MAN OF 46 THROWING A HISSY FIT OUT ON HIS BOAT. I REMEMBER  AS   A KID GROWING UP  I WOULD STEER CLEAR OF THE GARAGE WHENEVER MY DAD WAS WORKING ON SOMETHING IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING WENT WRONG AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE . I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHEN I ASKED MY GRANDMOTHER  WHAT  KIND OF MAN WAS GRANPA   SHE ,A WOMAN OF FEW WORDS REPLIED, HE WAS A TOOL THROWER, LIKE YOUR FATHER IS. THATS ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW I GUESS MAYBE ITS TRUE THE ACORN DOESNT  FALL TO FAR FROM THE TREE. AS  I CASTED OUT MY SENKO WORM AND WAS ALLOWING IT SOME TIME ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE I GAZED UPON THE OLD TIMER THINKING MAYBE MY WIFE IS RIGHT ISHOULD BE MORE PATIENT NOT SO SELF CENTERED STOP THE ME  ME ME , NO MORE EMBARRISING OUTBURSTS, AS I  SET MY  SPINNING ROD DOWN I GAZED UPON THE OLD TIMER AND THOUGHT MAYE HE IS HERE FOR A REASON TO TEACH ME LESSONS ABOUT LIFE, LOOK AT HIM CALM RELAXED ENJOYING THE TREES ,  HOW MUCH TIME COULD HE HAVE LEFT, THINGS DONT SEEM TO BE BOTHERING HIM ,  LOOK AT ME  ME REFLECTING ON MY LIFE AS A MEDIOCRE BUSINESS MAN AND MEDICORE HUSBAND. JUST THEN , MY EYES BEGAN TO WELL UP, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,  MY GOD IVE SEEN THE LIGHT IM A CHANGED MAN  THIS OLD MAN, WITH OUT SPEAKING A WORD HAS IMPACTED MY LIFE ALREADY, I SHOULD REEL IN MY SENKO AND GO SPEAK TO MY NEW OLD FRIEND , TEACH ME , TEACH ME ,I KEPT THINKING  TO MYSELF. JUST AS I STARTED UP THE TROLLING MOTOR TO APPROACH HIM,  I SAW HIM BEND DOWN TO PICK UP HIS ROD,  I HEARD HIM SAY *OD *AMMIT ANOTHER *OD  *AMN SNAG THROWING HIS POLE INTO THE BOTTOM OF HIS BOAT .WOOH  , I SAID TO MYSELF  KEEP YOUR DISTANCE ,ANOTER TOOL THROWER  .    ACEMAN 387 .

Calm down with the caps lock, it would make your post a whole lot easier to read.

[fishfordollars]

Maybe you should take up knitting.

I just reread your post three times and it is obivious you do not fathom the sport and now I'm sure knitting would suit your mindset.

Ummmmm.....yaaaa.... :-?

Let's play a game.

Who finds the first grammatically correct sentence wins.

[Muddy]

I think we should get Long Mike to Ref this one

[fishfordollars]

He was cleaning his sewer earlier when I spoke with him on the phone. Hopefully he is taking a bath, even though it is not Saturday. Where you at Mike?

[Grey Wolf]

Perhaps if we knew you a little better  , we would be more apt to know when you are trying to be humorous.

Stick around and let us get to know you better.

Aceman, I have a suggestion or two:

Turn off Caps Lock

Introduce yourself(There is a section for this)

Get to know some here before posting a suspect thread

We get some real winners here from time to time so ask some legit questions or join in the responses with legit answers

Noone here is trying to demean you or challenge your education

We all welcome you and you can have a ball here if you like

If you are new to fishing read some of the sections by using the search function. They will help you a lot.

Do not be afraid to ask any question. Just let us know that you are a novice and you will get plenty of replies.

Feel free to PM me at any time if you have any questions

Good luck

Hats of to you for being able to read it three times.  I gave up about a third of the way through.  If the caps don't get you,  the lack of punctuation and spelling will.

[-HAWK-]

Once you get past the grammar, and the caps its a pretty cool story.  8-)  

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

X3, I thought it was a well thought out post. Just hard as hell to read.I had to highlight each word by word with my mouse.

Aceman,this is a forum and your gonna get poked at a little bit regardless of what you do or say.MOST of the time you hear something negative it is said in jest. For the most part we all get along pretty good,so stick around 8-)

[FD.]

I agree, cool post once you get past the caps...

[TournyFish001]

so old men throw tools too- good answer... not "GOOD ANSWER" lol

Hey Aceman: I was having the same issues, I was using caps in low light because my eyes are not all what they used to be. If this is the case you can maginfy what you see, by adjusting your computer.
