FISHIN WITH ME DAD
(c) 2009 Manfred Vijars

Oh you are just pure marshmallow Mannie Beautiful poem

I think I've read this before but it's a pleasure to read again Mannie. Marshmellow, just like Maureen says.

Goodonya Manfred. My youngest son is a much better fisherman than I ever was, he's my mentor in that regard.

Thank you for your kind comments ...
Dad used to take me as a kid. I miss him ...

G'day Manfred, yeah Dad used to take me fishing as a kid too, now he is hinting for me to take him! I will certainly make the effort if the time permits, love the poem and did last time I saw it as well!...

That's a really beautiful piece Manfred. Here's another quote.
Wazza
"The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope."
John Buchan

Beautifully expressed Manfred did not get to spend a lot of time fishing with my dad he always seems to be working but when mum passed on early he still had three girls and me to support.

I still have his favourite reel on the cupboard with his picture and his deep sea creel in the shed.


Great memories and the same for you I'm sure.
