Dark i think you are always going to have the trolls. They have nothing better to do and are probably unhappy in their own sad lives. So they have to keep putting stuff online that is not true. If someone can't see that fishing is off, they would have to be blind. Just my .02.
Yes, I am retired and it's good to be able to get out there and fish for my morning exercise. Whether I catch or not it's still worth it to me. You are not too far from being old yourself. You are welcome to shoot the breeze any time.
