Age is just a number... how old?

Just read Deamon's (Jim) report of his nice triple catch (bugs, wsb, butt). At 52 he's glad he can still bring it. But maybe with a more few aches and pains.

I'd love to know the ages of those of us who brave the surf, crank the paddle/peddle, get up at dark and try not fall asleep on the ride home.

62 yrs. here, and hope to keep it going at least for awhile longer.

I'm guessing our youngest member is 16.
I'm guessing our oldest is 70.
I'm guessing the average age of BWE'rs is 36.


How 'bout you?

I try to go to La Jolla once a week, last year I could often make it twice a week. Mid week is my favorite because it's less crowded. I'm 65 and still want to Fish la Jolla till who knows. I have no plans to stop. It is the most relaxing adventure locally while getting a good work out and sometimes good eating fish. Tight Lines to all BWE members young or old.

At 52 myself, I have been fishing 3 times, worked 17 hours and slept 14 hours since 3:45am on Thursday. But I do plan on making up on the sleep when I am dead. Two skunks and a YT in Santa Monica Bay.

28 here. I hope I'm lucky enough to still be kayak fishing in my 50s and 60s.

JJ here. I'll be 48 this November.

My good friend Jeff (Rhino) Krieger got me hooked on yak fishing nearly 20 years ago.
I used to fish the Malibu area often.
Now, two very active boys, 14 and 11, and a busy career, keep me from getting out much.
I LOVE LJ and the San Diego area.
Thanks to Yani (my brotha from another motha), I get to fish LJ once in a blue moon, and pretend I know what I'm doing
Wish I could get out there more often.
Only problem, I live in Ventura County (Thousand Oaks).
Sure is getting harder to make a day trip down there. Really tough to stay awake on the drive back!!!

With any luck, I'll be fishing and diving into my 90s!
Cheers!

By these standards, I am an average fisherman, currently stage 5 in the life of a kayak fisherman.

Gotta hand it to you guys, much respect. I'm 34 and although I have back issues can't imagine making it to 40. But it's encouraging seeing this.
