I'm a little nervous about my knees too. But, I think I can build them up. My ankle is all jacked up, so walking is out for now.

Ed, I damaged my right knee when I was fifteen, so I only had to wait 50 years to get it replaced, then they did both knees in 8 months, tough recovery but I am so glad they are done. I just need to remember to jump out of my boat in deeper water, I can't get up from a low sitting position. Sorry to hear about your ankle, leg problems are a bitch. You don't eat fish? That explains why you are big on catch and release. I am a fish eater, so I'm big into the circle of life routine, catch a few to eat but release most of what I catch. I need to try Mission Bay pretty soon, see if I can figure out the sand dab and corvina down there. Let me know if you are fishing next friday if you want some company.

Dang, you guys need to put a handicap sticker on your boats

Good on wearing the PFD, I don't even notice I have one on anymore. It's almost like a nice warm ThunderShirt - I feel safer with it on.

I do have a higher back seat now than before, so I might look for another PFD with an even higher back. A lumbar support helps a lot to fill in the area below the PFD back.

I'll let you know about Friday. I'm sure we'll fish. Just not sure where.

didn't think about the blade. Usually if the Paddlerz don't get them nothing will. The umbrella seems like cheating. No pics, because then there'll be proof

Yeah, definitely a bunch of gimps. I've had back problems since I was 9, and ankle and knee problems since I was 18. Ageing doesn't help things. Once I loose some weight i'll look for a new pfd.

Having a new radio and a pfd definitely helps me feel safer.

Good job getting the wife out, Harry. I stay away from the bait barge because of the aggressive sea lions. That, and the 5 billion macks. But, I'm sure the cats are happy

hey, it was fun just catching fish, she has been getting skunked at Silverwood Lake lately. I talked with one guy who told me the calico's had just quit biting when we rolled up. The bait boat had made a drop off and the calico's were on a feeding frenzy. It all pretty much died down by the time we got there but we did see one guy catch a big one. I couldn't buy a bite down where we fished last week. Laura caught one spotty down there but the bite was real slow. I could see catching some macks and going out by the kelp beds for something bigger.

Hey, you both had fun. That's all that matters. Was your wife stoked?
