My family worries every time I go out alone.
A plan somebody knows, a phone that works wet, and a life jacket you'll actually wear.
Keep Fishing for LifeCh. 1 · Fishing Alone, Fishing SmartFor anglers over 60
Shorter trips, steadier feet on the bank, a reel that stops tangling, and a small box of lures that works all year.
Sound familiar?
Forty years at the dock, I heard the same troubles over and over. Here's where each fix lives in the books.
My family worries every time I go out alone.

Who's writing
“Fish don't know how old you are.”
Howdy. I'm Clyde Rowe. I was born in the Missouri Ozarks, and for forty years I guided bass and crappie fishermen on one of the big lakes down here, dawn to dark, March to November.
Past seventy, I fell on the boat ramp pulling my boat out alone. Nothing broke that didn't mend, but it changed how I fish. I don't launch alone anymore. I fish the bank and the dock, my trips are shorter, and I still come home with fish.
These books are what I'd teach you if you sat on my porch for a week. Plain talk, and no gadgets you don't need.
See you on the water, Clyde
