Age is just a number... how old?
 

Just read Deamon's (Jim) report of his nice triple catch (bugs, wsb, butt). At 52 he's glad he can still bring it. But maybe with a more few aches and pains.

I'd love to know the ages of those of us who brave the surf, crank the paddle/peddle, get up at dark and try not fall asleep on the ride home.

62 yrs. here, and hope to keep it going at least for awhile longer.

I'm guessing our youngest member is 16.
I'm guessing our oldest is 70.
I'm guessing the average age of BWE'rs is 36.

How 'bout you?

:goodnight:

Southman! I am impressed, brotha. Just gave me some hope. :luxhello: Jim

31 here, new to kayaking and fairly new to fishing

I try to go to La Jolla once a week, last year I could often make it twice a week. Mid week is my favorite because it's less crowded. I'm 65 and still want to Fish la Jolla till who knows. I have no plans to stop. It is the most relaxing adventure locally while getting a good work out and sometimes good eating fish. Tight Lines to all BWE members young or old.

At 52 myself, I have been fishing 3 times, worked 17 hours and slept 14 hours since 3:45am on Thursday. But I do plan on making up on the sleep when I am dead. Two skunks and a YT in Santa Monica Bay.

67 here. I fish a lot but I nap a lot too.

28 here. I hope I'm lucky enough to still be kayak fishing in my 50s and 60s.

53 and still pedaling....:p

Gotta hand it to you guys, much respect. I'm 34 and although I have back issues can't imagine making it to 40. But it's encouraging seeing this.

55, sore and tired at the end of the day. you old guys are studs. :D

55 colan cancer survivor

30 years old with 3 kids under 7. Quite frankly as strenuous as a full day of paddling/pedalling is, I still feel more energetic following a day on the water than after a day chasing kiddos around.

Ummm...Yani-man...are those shorts see through? I'm just saying what others are too afraid to say...Thank God it's the back shot and not the front...:sifone:Jim

Momo - if it's any consolation, I'm close to 60 and getting out there regularly. I too had back trouble at your age including a ruptured disc and started watching the heavy lifting and now my back rarely bothers me, if ever. The healing power of the human body is amazing.

Age is just a number... how old?
 

Nearly 50 with many ailments............ Not all of them mental.







Wrecked joints due to a congenital bone and joint disease.

100 - 48 ÷ 16 + 99 × 0.1489 - 67 + .2589 - 2 = :D

One of the cooler parts of this sport is how many different types of people are out there fishing their asses off! I hope I can do what you guys do one day, it's amazing. 19 here and loving it

I'm 25 but definitely had my share of injuries. Lost count on the breaks and fractures. Ruptured L5 S1, canal stenosis. My last injury got me under the knife for the first time. Inguinal hernia. These injuries were what made me get out of racing dirt bikes and into fishing on kayaks. The injury I'm worried about the most is the RA that runs in my family. Both my dad and his brother are plagued by this one so I'm definitely hoping I don't see that. No matter what injuries I sustain from now on through, it would have to be very debilitating to stop me from kayak fishing.

+ 14 - 3 + 20

I hope That's a little easier for you. :p

24.

51..........man some these other guys are OLD!:D

17, hopefully with many more years to come.

45 years old here. Not fishing this week due to a gout flare up and back issues. Getting old sucks:D

49 1/2.. we can still use halves at this age right? The big 5 0 coming in January. Physically I still can work 12 hour labor intensive days if I have to but it takes weekend naps to recover now. Mentally still feel like I'm in my 30's tho, probably cuz of all the abuse I did back in the 80's that stunted my brain ;)

57, lots of old injuries and repairs.Old pains and new ones.Although I did divorce one;) Still haven't pulled the trigger on a kayak yet but these confessions are a help. :D

28. Fit as a fiddle :cheers1:

17+30. Still feel in my head like a teenager! Body still working fine, minor issues but still going for it!

I was born the same year Pablo Picasso completed his sculpture "the Goat".

The way I feel now, I figure I have at least another twenty years of kayaking left in me.

60 going on 25...

Okay, maybe 30...

37 and have only been doing this paddling thing on and off for a year.

43, but I think you're forgetting your high school algebra. Where are your ()?

45, been ignoring bdays the last 10 or so...
True for growing aches and pains...
Losing hair where you want to keep it, having it grow at all these other friggen places where you don't really want it. :rolleyes:
Fo'sho - I don't have the same energy the night after fishing like I used to...

But hey - we've got 1 life; you've got to make the best out of it.
If getting out there on the water is what is what you love and what fulfills you - by all means, gotta keep doing it.

I keep telling my wife - you'll really know that I have a problem when you see me stop doing it :D

Not a member of the saltwater community of yakkers, but will contribute.

Have just completed my 68th summer. Still throw my Pro Angler 14 atop my Toyota Highlander to fish. Fish once and walk 18 holes of golf once each week. Usually pedal my 'yak five hours or so nonstop when out - so that's eight to nine hours of walking/pedaling each week.

Just had an annual physical. Doc says there is absolutely nothing wrong with me.

46 I think.

They say that........something is the first thing to go?

Way to go RR! :notworthy:

All right my bitches...looks like you've got me for another 16 years.:paddleersmilie:
