Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Senko77, whom I met on this board, is coming to RI this weekend to visit family so we are planning an outing for Sunday. We tried this a couple weeks ago but our lines of communication got messed up. Senko77, if you have rain gear, bring it. weather will be unstable Sunday. I have extra gore tex bibs for you but you will need a jacket. Has anyone else met someone on the board and did you guys ever meet up and fish? I can't wait to see how someone else approaches my lake. (especially someone who at age 14 , rates himself a 9!!)kidding. Gonna be a fun one!! Quote
BASSMAN1301599783 Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I think that is so great you are taking senko77 to your lake. ;D Hats off to you and I hope you both have a great time and catch lots. Guys like you give fishermen a good name. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User Marty Posted July 29, 2005 Super User Posted July 29, 2005 It was on another board, but I met a guy five years ago. We fished together only three times the first year, but now it's 15-20 times a year. Worked out great. I needed a guy with a boat, he wanted a back-seater and I was available to fish with him at times when most guys aren't available. The first time we met at the launch, I asked him if he had any qualms about meeting a stranger from the internet and he said that his sister thought for sure he'd be murdered. But I let him live. ;D Actually, though, I was reading his posts for about six months to get to know him before I mentioned that I was from the same town. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 31, 2005 Author Posted July 31, 2005 5:02,..supposed to p/u Ryan at 6:30 but havn't heard from him so I call moms cell phone. WHat happened next is so inconsiderate, I can't finish this post. Quote
playmaker47 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 sorry cant. I know the kid wanted to fish bad but it was taken out of his hands I think. I'm not gonna badmouth his mom on a forum. Just a huge, "WHAT THE....?" Quote
playmaker47 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 well i have noticed that senko77 hasnt been on the forum in a while, and that he is selling everything that has to do with fishing on the flea market forum so maybe his mom wont let him fish anymore or somthing. that would definately suck Quote
Phishn_Phool Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I hate to see any person get out of fishing and especially a young person with so many years ahead of him. I had that problem as a kid I was forced to quit fishing, but when I got older I was rewarded with a wonderful lady who let me fish whenever I wanted. Hopefully something good will come of Senko77, he will never loose the bug to fish. All I can say young man is be patient, and don't be afraid to dream CPR ;D Quote
playmaker47 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 i dont see how someone could be forced to quit fishing i mean i am 15 now and almost 16 and my parents like that i like to fish i mean there are alot of kids my age that are into some bad things and i mean fishing is really good and keeps kids out of drugs and other things that they shouldnt be doing. i dont think anyone should ever be forced to quit fishing.

Phishn_Phool Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Playmaker I agree with you 100%, but we never know family situations. At the age of 14 I was left to live on my own, first you have to get someway to feed yourself and at the time fishing was not paying me anything, so I had to give it up until a later date when my life stablized a little. I hope this is not what is happening with Senko, but you never know. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 And if you read some of his posts, the kid can fish. The crazy thing is that I spoke directly to both him and his mom on saturday when they were on the road here and everything was fine. We even set the time (6:30) Then w/o a call by 5ish, I called her and she just said I don't think it will be possible. This is the 2nd time I didn't book a weekend shift and didn't even get a cancellation call. No explanation, nothing. I really don't get it. At first I thought she was apprehensive about the internet thing but I was meeting the family at their house. They could have my liscense #, reg #, etc. I printed maps and highlighted the route of exactly where we are going and even secured her a spot to park (through a landowner ) where she could even watch if she were still nervous. I let her know how much I respected the fact that she was being a cautious parent. I was taught to at least call if you have to cancel. Common ettiquette. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted August 1, 2005 Super User Posted August 1, 2005 That's too bad. I am sure the kid and you missed out on a great time. Quote
playmaker47 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 hey LBH did you even get an explanation as to why his mom said he couldnt go? did you go by yourself that morning then or what Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted August 2, 2005 Author Posted August 2, 2005 no explanation. I took my neighbors kid. He got a 3.1. His biggest ever so it all washes. I'm a big karma believer. Quote
playmaker47 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 well at least you had a good day fishing anyways Quote
senko_77 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 i am ashamed of what happened. the reason i couldnt fish last second, was cuz my dad is in jail for something he didnt do, and he could be in for life. me and my mom are under alot of stress, but she let her mom and dad talk her out of it. she cried when she told me cuz she felt so bad, but i really feel embarrased to tlak to lbh now. i hope he forgives me. i made him miss out on like 300$ and i feel so bad. but what is going on is puttin alot of stress on my mom, and my grandparents think its to big of a risk, which i think is bull$hit, cuz russell or lbh, is an awesome guy. i hope everyone on this forum will still tlak to me Quote
playmaker47 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 well i hope everything will work out for the best for you Quote
senko_77 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 and the reason i have to sell my stuff is because while my dad is gone temporarely i have to make money for me and my mom so we can eat and have a/c and stuff. but i feel like a jerk for not explaining. i am just really embarressed for what happened and i hope this all works out for lbh Quote
senko_77 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 o yeah, my mom has supported me wanting to become a pro since i first started, she has driven me to tournies in alabama at 3 in the mornin, the lady is amamzing, we talked about, and it has come down to my joice to sell my stuff to support my family. i love fishin with all my heart, and i have worked so hard to become good, but life is life, and food and bills and taking care of my mom and bein the man of the house comes first. i will kepp my rod and a few lures, but evewrything else is going Quote
Max-in-Mn Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 L-B-H seems like a good guy Ryan, I am sure he will forgive you. I truly hope your situation at home works itself out cause I hate to see families in turmoil :-[ Just stay positive and it will work out. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted August 2, 2005 Super User Posted August 2, 2005 Best of luck to you and it is a stand up thing you are doing. Hope everything work out for the best. Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 2, 2005 Super User Posted August 2, 2005 Sorry the fishing trip did not work out for LBH and if Ryan is truthful it is a shame his father is in jail. But we can't select our parents. I only take kids fishing if their parent goes along. Believe me, it is much safer for everyone if the child's parent is in the boat for the entire venture. Quote
