OK here's the ?

I haven’t really used my boat over the past 4 years. I fished twice during the pandemic. I promised myself I’d use it this year or sell it. Unfortunately, with the price of fuel I doubt I’ll be able to afford to use it, and the market will be flooded with older boats my size, so won’t be worth selling.I used to fish all the time, but life has been in the way lately.

If gas stays where it is, or climbs even higher….. I should be able to fish twice this season.

Fuel is too high. I have 2 trips already planned for the boat. Thats probably it. I live very close to a great trout stream and state forest. So probably fish and do more backpack camping with my son. Kids trout day is in 2 weeks. Hope its warm.

For me, with my heart problems, Winter fishing with all the extra strain has been a no-no. But you're right, we need to make more posts... especially about fishing. I know that a few(?) trips to Lake Ontario are in the picture for this year for Steelhead and Salmon.

Why do you say you're done G? You never mentioned any health problems.

D, I was helping my friend Joe get his skiff ready for the spring, as I was climbing out I fell off the boat and onto the gravel yard, about 4' and smashed my face, screwed up my leg, so I can't get around like I use to. I hate to use this, but since this Chinese Wuhan Virus, Joe gave up his skiff and Lloyd don't fish much any longer either and now with the price of gas, I don't think he will be going out much. My big mistake was not getting a new engine for my boat, but I did a rebuild before and didn't want to spend the $8,000 for a new I/O, big regret. Now I have all my fishing stuff, 16 sticks, 16 reels, my grundens, sinkers, boots, all kind of hooks, snelled and not, spools of line, braid and mono I would like to sell everything in a one shot deal, but I know it can't be done. I can't sell it all piece by piece.
D, Thanks.

Man, I'm so sorry. That's brutal.

I’m gonna be honest here…. Your face wasn’t all that pretty to begin with, but even at our advanced age, the leg will heal. Just rest it up until you can start to rehab it. No need to give up. Sh1t! You ain’t all that old.
