Outdoor Truths: Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Chirt Jan 19, 2017
Several years ago I can remember going down to the river during late winter to try my hand during the walleye run. Only until the other day, I had forgotten how much fun it really was. I had the opportunity to go back with my former high school basketball coach. He is a nut about fishing and his specialty is walleye. We spent all day jigging for this wonderful table delicacy. We brought home 7 keepers. I was sure glad he let me take them all home and no one at my house complained about supper that night. Coach is on the list of the retired whose work now is fishing on every day that ends in "Y". While some are still in the getting and gaining mode, these men are pursuing the simple contentment that comes from being on one end of a rod or gun. Another retiree told me just last week that "Every day is Saturday". He loves life. He also admonished me to make sure that I keep my son hunting and fishing so he will stay out of trouble. He told me that his son, who is now raising his on family, lives on the lake and fishes every day. He is so proud of that. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org
