Title: SURPRISE!! Reason behind my slow summer.
Post by: slabslayer on July 11, 2016, 05:51:03 AM
As you know, I've not been posting any activity this summer. The reason is I haven't fished since March.  >:(  And the reason for that is shocking!  We got the surprise of our lives the first weekend in April. We are expecting a baby boy. Totally not planned, pushing 40 and having our first baby was not on the books, but we're excited now. Just cutting into my fishing time big time!!  Doing everything to get ready for something we were never planning on. And he's slated to arrive in December, so this ice season might be sketchy as to how much I get out, but the great thing is he's going to start loving the outdoors early. Already got his first rod and reel and want him to enjoy the outdoors and not tv all day. I now have a new fishing buddy!!!  ;D

Thanks!  She's been pretty sick unfortunately, but we're halfway there and finally she's feeling a little better.  :) Just taking a lot of my fishing time up to prepare the house and learn stuff. We were never planning this so its all foreign. Only bad thing is he's coming early December, right at start of ice fishing season.  :-\

Glad everything is looking good, slab. Hope your wife is done with her nausea. Best of luck to you both.

Yes finally!!  Thanks.  :) She's finally turning a corner a couple weeks ago. Feeling good enough to get out another time or 2 yet this year.  Planning another Erie trip on Monday. Taking the day off work and if I get all the stuff I want to around the house this weekend, I'm Erie bound Monday to tangle with some more bass!! :D

Glad to hear everything is good. Hope the weather and bass cooperate for you. Pound them hard.
