Welcome back. It's the best therapy you can get. Just ease into things and let your body be your guide. You'll do good.
-
yup i just had to learn to sloooooow down lol
-
You’ll be fine my friend!! Your body will tell you when it’s time to rest. Fishing is good for the head!!!🎣😎 Have fun!!
-
Hey Ben - really super glad to hear you are going to give it some hell.
Take it light and enjoy partner.
Enjoy!!

Thanks everyone!
Ben

Like everyone said, go slow it’ll all fall in. After I had my shoulder repaired a few years back, I thought for the longest time I wouldn’t be able to use my bigger fishing gear I followed therapist’s advice and after a little time I was back in the game. Good luck and heal quickly.
-
Glad your up and about ,
-
Glad you are able to get back at it. Go slow and easy, those fish aren't going anywhere...h2l

Nice pic, or maybe not so nice. My daughter and I treid to get out for a couple hours this afternoon in the boat. I think we fished for ab hour before deciding it was cold. She wanted to go fast in the boat so we did a few rips and went home.

Glad you have been getting out and into some fish. Back when I lived in Churchville, Conesus was my "go to" lake. My PB perch and LMB both were caught there. I am sure you will enjoy the retirement....h2l

Ben
-
Ben, Good luck in retirement; you'll love it! Set some goals for yourself like I did ; 100 fishing trips per season and 1000 fish for trout on the fly. Been at it for 24 years . ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Like I told you the other day….get out as soon as you can. If you get bored there’s always something for an old guy to do.
-
Nice oatka , gonna be new thing to me , right now fishing when I can but working on getting my leg working properly ,right knee just gives out and down I go if not careful, phisical therapy is helping just takes time he said, my back feels good from surgery , but yea I have alot of plans gonna stay busy for sure!!!!
Thanks
Ben
PS ( I got a wife that won't let grass grow under my feet lol)
-
Yup rg, I was thinking about it and took the leap and packed it in !
-
Ben you have it right! Stay active and use physical therapy(PT) to the fullest extent. Over the last 4 years, PT has allowed me to overcome arthritis in my shoulders and legs and some muscular pain in my leg that went away by doing a few exercises. The great thing about stream fishing is that you can sit down and roll cast or just rest and take in Mother nature. My buddy Jim used a high seat camping chair which we planted in the stream to sit and fish for hours. IT WORKED!
He'd outfish me as well. Dick
-
Probably begin to wonder how you ever worked and got anything else done.
You’ll get used to working days👍
I’m happy for you.
-
Thanks guys , yea I'm using physical therapy as much as possible, but only problem I've always been a want it fixed now guy! But realizing I have time so I'll keep working at it
Ben
-
Congrats to all you retired guys. That freedom has to feel so good.

-
Thats awful hopefully the fishing makes up for the cat smell.
-
Yea, my buddy told me to get " Skunk Off" in pet section of Walmart or Petco it takes it away ...it won't happen again!!
-
Shoot the cat……sure remedy.
The smell will go away eventually. The cat will go away right now.
-
cats and conibears or a .22 if your in an area where you can use it I cannot tolerate a cat NO mercy My apologies if you're a cat lover- keep him home
-
Cats belong inside as they take their toll on the songbirds. Feral cats are the worst.
-
I hate cats ,will be eliminated!

Wow you really don't like cats do you? Tell us how you really feel? :rotflol:
One of my neighbors moved and dumped his three cats. They were breeding on my deck at 3 A.M. driving our inside dog nuts, and with her barking keeping us awake. I had no other recourse but to live trap them and then shoot them between the eyes. I don't hate cats but the shelters are full of them and these had gone feral.

I had tried to live trap a feral cat one time...
I trapped it... took it a mile from the house in the woods up a state land access road..
It showed back up 2 days later. .
Soooo.. I repeated that process a 2nd time except I took it 3 miles from the house...
1 week later it showed back up...
3rd time.. I trapped it once again and it DID NOT make it far from the trap alive when i released it...
Cat never came back ;)
-
I had a feral cat about the same time I was dealing with the other cats that was getting into my garbage on my deck. I came out to run it off, but it stood on the railing and snarled at me. I went and got the shotgun and it still defied me. I blew it off the railing with the 12 guage.
-
Cleaned my salmon today , cat was in garbage again last night now I have bait to catch it tonight!

A friend gave me a really scary hard to set heavy duty conibear to use that fit inside a bucket. You needed a tool to set it the d*** thing. It would break your arm if you got it in between the jaws. I swear it was actually a conibear used for bears or something and I gave it back to him. Didn't want to take a chance of killing the dog if it got out on the deck.
-
Well....I had one more cat I couldn't get in box trap to relocate....it's been outside my fenced lawn tormenting my dogs!!!...last night it decided to get inside fence and actually come in my house through door my dogs go in and out of...bad decision! I woke up to 3 labs and a border collie going ape s$&t!!!
Problem is no more! Besides my dogs normal raw chicken and rice breakfast they got eggs also !!!!
