Age block on members Profile page.

[Anonymous]

Hey Mike/Aaron,
I was thinking about inviting someone from the Forum to go fishing Rufus Woods with me in my boat and I stopped short because I was unsure of the person’s age. I enjoy fishing with folks that are in my peer group (Age 51) and having an age block on the profile page could speed things up and help me to avoid asking the embarrassing question "Hey...how old are you?"
Anyway…Just a thought.

I'm not sure if this is a feature of this particular Forum software. I'll have to ask Aaron. Age isn't a required field to enter for membership.

I do understand your concerns.

[bob johansen]

I understand your concerns as well. Good grief, ya might ask someone to fish and some old geezer about 80 years old shows up. That would be horrible!

Ya, glad I fish by myself all the time, can't be having no kid in my boat.



How does that saying go? "Take a kid fishing today", or something like that.

[scott080379]

great idea, you wouldn't want someone like myself (30) to show up.

[Amx]

Sure can't have a KID outfishing me on my own boat.

bunch of comedians on WL.com. :dwarf:

there is a legitimate concern when it comes to the minors that visit the site. Hopefully the parents of said minors have taught them not to be giving private information out on a public forum, or in private PMs.

I have 5 kids of my own. I enjoy fishing with some other adults at times. I dont care if they are 18 or 90 as long as I dont have to tie up there leaders and stuff lol. Thats something I have to teach my boy Dylan so I dont have to tie his any more.

:dwarf: Hey Mr Bob,if the ole geezer were you, it would be an honor to share boat space with ya. Otherwise, I'd be like BigD, and have to ask some "embarassing questions".:dwarf:

Hey Amx, I'm glad my wife is such a good fisherperson. It does have its "Perks" , and I don't fish alone unless I choose to.

Great site we have here. Keep the humor and good timeS rolling..
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE:cheers:

Did I miss a 'wife joke'?

[blufin loui]

Did I miss a 'wife joke'?

Nope, just my fishing partner for over 30 years has been my wife, and she can usually put fish in the boat.

[Amx]

That is always a great thing to do/have with a wife. Not that many go fishing.

Yeah, that old slogan, "Take a kid fishing" has been around for eons. Nobody ever hears of the slogan, "Take a geezer fishing."#-o

Thanks for the kind words Blufin Loui. Even our Supreme Overlord, Mr. Mike Carey has been known to fish with an 80 year old geezer. See his video on Kitsap lake. The shaky, senile old geezer, even managed to shoot a little video of Mike's nice 3 1/2 pound "Frog Bass."

[Mike Carey]

Once you got the hang of it you shot better video then some 40-something guys I know.

[Bodofish]

I guess that means no one will want to fish with me......... sniff, sniff, sniff

You guy's are just plain mean........... :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I wanna go, I wanna go!

[Anonymous]

I haven't seen that vid yet, but now that I know what lake it was on I'll go look for it later.

Give you time to delete the vid LOL . :-)

In light of all of the wife comments...Now I know for sure I don't want to be the one to ask someones age...
