Hello Everyone. I've been called Captain Crappie for about 40 years That name was bestowed on me by fellow co-worker and friend (Commander Bluegill) due to my ability to catch crappies. Captain Crappie was an upgrade from Lard Ass, so Captain Crappie it was, and still is.
I've been married to Faye for 33 years. She says she's put up with me for 33 years. It's all relative, I guess. We have 4 kids, 13 grand kids, and 1 great grand chlid. Some how that makes us great grand parents.
I'm retired, having quit the rat race as soon as I could. Translated, that means to a lot of Americans, when you can get or afford healthcare coverage till you're eligible for Medicare. Constantly losing the race to the rats got old. I do on occasion re-enter the race when my former employer asks for help, only now, I dictate the terms.
I have loved to fish ever since my Dad took me fishing when I was 5 years old. That was in June, 1952, almost 62 years ago, and I remember that trip like it was yesterday. For the past 3o years there hasn't been a fishing trip that I haven't thought of Dad. Some day I can only hope to be as fortunate.
This year God willing, will be the 18 th consecutive trip to 3 Seasons Camp. Everyone knows that there is a bug in the water of Kipawa, that after that bugs bites you, it requires you to return. Picture this, it's in the evening, the sun is beginning to set below the horizon, the wind begins to rest, the haunting call of the loons off in the distance almost put you asleep, as the serenity and beauty of the moment demands and gets your attention..... Then.... Hey! Where's my bobber?
