Have I been away too long? The bluegills swirl! 16 Years, 9 Months ago  
Remember when I used to be Peter? Remember the bluegill pond for kids (but dads also allowed)? Used to post off and on, and then maybe last summer I had other things to do and plain stopped posting. I guess that is when you almighties of the Forum Steering committee decided to strip me of me buttons and throw me out to the squawfish. So, when, two or three days ago the first turtle sunning itself slid off the the float, and I saw the first bluegill swirls I thought "Aha! time to alert everyone that that time of year is here again, and that the kids are welcome." so I pop up the NFFB website, type in my old user name of Peter and the password, and am told abruptly that I do not exist. Try again, same results. Luckily Greg's email addy is still on my list, so I email with a pathetic call for help, and Dawn replies. Suggests a new user name would be appropriate, so that is what I do, and now am Pablo, a nickname first laid on me in 1942. Once everyone is used to me as Pablo I am going to try to steal back Peter again, but I better wait.

If you have got this far, be aware the the bluegill indeed are up, and anyone can come try for them again. I know Jet and Joey are itching.

A side note: A year ago we sold this property and are building a new house just up the hill on a 5 acre piece we own. Still living here until move-in, about a month away. New owner of the pond lives in So Cal and won't move up for a few years. He doesn't fish, but he doesn't mind my letting kids poach. even their dads and grand dads can come.

So that's the news from Lake Woebegone. Hope everyone is alive and kicking

Hey Pablo,
Thanks for the heads up on the pond. I have a few of Joeys' friends that are itching to get some fishing. I may start to convert some of them to the "Dark Side"(Fly Fishing). I have a few extra outfits are gathering some dust. Here's a few memories from Pablo's pond.







Tight Lines,

Jose

Hey Peter! 16 Years, 9 Months ago  
Your old user name of Peter should still work. You just need to reset the password using the "Lost password" link on the Home page. Click on it and fill in your username (Peter) and the email you used when you signed up. An email will be sent with a new password, and after you sign in with the new password, you can change your password back to your old password. If it doesn't work, your old profile can be deleted, and you can re-use "Peter" again--unless you want to stay Pablo Sorry about the confusion. You can email me if you have any problems or questions, or just post here.

I am glad to hear the pond is warming and the bluegills are swirling. I have a niece that is reaching fishing age; I will keep your pond in mind if she comes to visit me this summer.

Did you look at my earlier post, with the photos of the birds nests? Check it out if you didn't, I think you'll like those photos.

I am going to look right now. I meant to look at them earlier, but I was having difficulty with my internet connection. I got distracted doing other stuff and forgot to go back and look. Thanks for the reminder!
