Cheers Touchy.><> ><> ><>.

Geez mate,

I thought you were doing pretty well to continue working at 80 anyway

You'll have to fish most of the week because Mrs Touchy won't be able to stand you making stinking burley and pulling reels apart all over the house.

Just think - if you've lost that many body parts to fishing just on weekends - there'll be nothing left of you after going midweeks for a year or two

Enjoy it mate - we're all jealous.

[MulletMan]

Been there - dun that Touchy!
Congrats all the same.
The first year is great, so many fish.etc.
......and then the rot sets in, ya have to have a hobby or interest 'cos you can't fish 24 x 7 for ever.
Join Coastguard or VMR
And aim to be the poorest guy in the graveyard!
Enjoy it!

I hear the fringe benefits are great but the pay is not too good!!!

Only jealous.....the best fishing is always Monday to Friday

The worst thing I've found is I don't get public holidays anymore.

Enjoy it, I do.

Cheers

Good onyer Touchy. Lots of us can learn much from your experience with the transition from work to something else.

Well done Touchy, just leave some fish for the rest of us, eh?

Good luck,
Mike

Well done Touchy. Hope you enjoy your long awaited leisure time. Just remember to post your catches and let us know when they are biting. At least that will help us that are still stuck to weekends only.

Congratulations Touchy. I hope you get a gold reel instead of gold watch as your retirement gift.

congrats on your retirement, midweek fishing is the best mate, I am lucky enough to have a job too that's gives me that chance.

Welcome to the club Touchy. It's great to go fishing when the weather, tides and seasons are all just right and most of the population can only look out the window and dream about it, wishing it was the weekend.
Enjoy!!
Cheers Freeeedom
PS - and who says you can't go fishing 24X7?

Well you finally made it mate. Good luck to you and it was nice jawing with you the other week.

Go get 'em!

Fear not a jest. If one throws salt at you, you will not be harmed unless you have sore places.

Enjoy it.

Well well Young Fella, the day has come.

Pretty well deserved I'd say. Now I suppose I'll have to rely on YOU to keep me up to speed on the Breams etc ?

Enjoy..................Fred !

Cheers Phill
