I'm half that and I'm hurting after a day on the water.

Vito is over 70 and sometimes fishes 3-4 times a week.

Well I,m right at 66 and certainly fell sore after a paddling session but after a nap and a couple ibruprofin I'm ready to go again. I feel the same way after a round of golf but add stress and frustration to that activity.

There is a very nice gentleman that kayak fishes out of Dana Point (Charles) who I believe is close to 80. He's a real purist. Sit inside kayak with one rod holder and no electronics. He covers a lot of ground and catches a lot of fish. Haven't seen him for a few months but he was one of the first I met on the water when I started yak fishing 12 or 13 years ago. Hope all is well with him.

If it's a passion you just put up with the downside. One of my first trips I got dumped in the surf in Laguna Beach and tore a calf muscle and lost over a grand of shimano gear. Now that I think about it; I should have quit then.

65 next Sunday. Yea it hurts sometimes, 5 heart attacks, 2 stints, double bypass last year. Got to fish. Better a little pain than no life! Surf is almost undo able. But lots of other water to fish. See you all out there.
