After meeting Jody / Notuna, (retired fire fighter) I figured it would be good to have a hook-up section for those lucky bastards that have all the time in the world to fish.....let me know if this would be usefull / thanks!

Good idea Mooch...that way they won't have to post in the regular hook-ups section, rubbing it in the face of us poor working slobs every time they head out on a beautifully sunny work day. Maybe you can start a Retired Guys Fishing Reports section too, so we're not reminded of the fish we missed on a given Tuesday morning or Thursday noon!  :smt044

Mooch,
As one of the retired guys, I don't see any real need for a separate hook-ups area.  I admit that I like to fish during the week when it's less crowded but there are lots of guys who take days off during the week to fish.  The current hook-ups post works great as is.

yeah, no separate section please.  Us working stiffs need something to look forward to, so let the retired post in the regular hookups so we can all dream.

I don't understand this statement, Ernie.  Damn ESL classes...

Some of us retired still do work, even though I've been retired 10 years.  I keep busy crossing kids here in Alameda.  It keeps a couple of dollars in my pocked for bait and cold ones.  Don't add a retired site, because some of us old farts still are young at heart and haven't grown up yet.

Ernie, he was probably more confused because you were at BeBe in the first place!  :smt003

Probably for WAF points - maybe daughter points?
