Wrong way retirement
Never heard of anyone retiring from the South to the North? Well, I did it, but don't tell anyone, because it is a high crime and a sure sign of insanity. They're still looking for me, and it won't be long now.... I retired from the University of West Florida and moved to Kalamazoo to join my wife in her news and book store. My one compensation is that we are amply supplied with big bluegills! My best was almost 11", caught just down the road in one of the ponds we keep secret and where we hide our little boats! But soon it is going to be cold again, and I really am not crazy about ice fishing, though it is a cool sport indeed (sorry).

Ref. October comment: Too late--got addicted to steelhead on the Skagit, north of Seattle. Lots of fun to have to suck ice from guides to be able to cast. But glorious is the sight of a fresh-run bright silver 12-pounder arcing out of the river into softly falling snow. My stars and land's sakes.
So far, my best from Lake Michigan is a 20lb King Salmon. Whoo!

Don't worry. Now you can get addicted to Steelhead fishing, too.
