Thread: Fishing in the rain

Hope he bounces back (no pun intended). There are two kinds of older people - those of us who have taken a fall and those who lie about. The blow to dignity leading to fear is in its own way more hurtful than actual damage.

Prayers for healing and a speedy recovery. Sorry your trip was cut short!

So sorry to hear of his accident.
Hope he mends quickly and y'all are able to return with better results!

Not to derail the current topic but one of the best fishing trips I've ever had in my life was fishing off Cedar Point last year in a hard rain and about 20-25 knot winds and probably gusting in the high 20s during the October Bull Red run. It was about 48 hours before Hurricane Michael made landfall. There were so many Bull Reds caught it was almost like a supernatural event, at least an easily 50+ or so were caught between us 10 individuals that braved the crappy weather. Everywhere you looked someone's drag was going off or fish was being netted.

One thing I've learned in my few years of boat & pier fishing is that quite frankly, you 'never know until you go'. Of course that saying has its own boundaries and limits, just gotta find yours

Well things escalated, he ended up in the hospital and is now getting prepped for a pacemaker install.

Praying all goes well. This may be a blessing in the long run. Hang in there!

The pacemaker may be the best thing that ever happened for him. I just received my fourth one this past January. He just needs to learn how to live with it and never miss a check.
