This is not a cry for sympathy. I am trying to figure something out, and wonder if you have been through it. Specifically, if you were able to fix it.
20 years ago I bought a boat, and had a number of friends to fill the spare seat. Two moved to the east cost, one lost interest, and one died. It left me with my best friend in the world, and honestly the best fishing partner. We often solved all the world's problems while hooking a few bass, watching deer, and sipping a bit of bourbon. Well, he died on September 8th.
Now my problem. I can't seem to find the energy to hook the boat up to the truck and haul it to a lake. Boats good. Truck is ok. Licenses and registrations are all bought and paid for. I just can't seem to get out of my own way with this.
Weird, even though I haven't been able to push myself out to go fishing, I started carving and painting new lures. A dozen or more that have never been tested.
Does this stupid **** go away? Did you find a way to find a new fishing partner? Or is it time for me to sell off the boat and tackle?
