Learning one step at a time
|
Name - Neil Lester Born - 1943 Birth Place - Ballinger, TX Raised - Oakland, CA Currently live in Wylie, TX Married - 34 yrs - Mary - I keep reminding her that she is my first wife. This doesn't bother her any more.
Fishing - Since October 2008
Started fishing because a friend, Mel, had a bass boat that he had only used 3 times in 2 years and I found out I loved it. I say fishing because I have had some good days but mostly catching has not been my thing.
Favorite fishing partners - Mel, Bill and grandsons.
Boat - 10' jon boat - 1986 Gamefisher modified V. Trolling motor and oars. I don't do well with gasoline engines. I picked up Bill as a fishing partner because he saw me loading my jon boat, felt sorry for me and asked if I'd like to go fishing with him some time. I don't get to use my boat much because Bill and Mel take me out a lot.
25 years as a residential carpenter and retired as a Cobol programmer in 2004. I started college at 40 years of age and finished in 2 1/2 years.
Goals this year - learn to catch crappie and catfish. I am pretty consistent with the Sand Bass because they are pretty consistent. I am hit and miss on the crappie and the next catfish I catch will be my personal best. I enjoy time on the water being in the middle of a sand bass school. Several really good days and one day like a dream when they were everywhere as far as we could see.
I try to learn something every time I am on the water.

Here goes my effort...I am a 55 year old single man who loves to fish. I have fished stock ponds for years, mostly for bass. Then, earlier this year I hired Tex to be my catfish guide, twice. I loved it. I bought a 1995 Bass Tracker Tournament 17 a month ago and have been on Lavon every weekend since. Got some catfish rods, reels, and Bee Ready's.
My fishing buddy is married and he can only get "permission" to fish a few hours each weekend. I need one or two single fishing Buddies who don't need permission, or a ton of married ones who do.
I am a psychotherapist and have had my practice for 20 years, the last 12 in Richardson. I have two adult daughters and a grandson. I enjoy being on the lake, even if I catch nothing at all. I would like to meet others from the forum and do some fishing. Pm me if you are interested. Thanks..

Even if they don't bite, it's worth the trip.
