Remembering Carl a day early....I miss him!

Mo and I are meeting tomorrow (the 21st) at 0430 (just what Carl used to do) to fish the Wicomico River in his honor/memory....that is where I cut my teeth on the white perch.

I want you to make five casts for me in honor of Carl.

Hard to imagine it's been 4 years.....Mo and I will remembering him on Wednesday as we try out some new perch waters.

Ernie · Jul-21-15 12:07PM

Not a fishing day goes by that I don't mention Carl's name.....

RIP Carl - with friends like Ernie, you'll never be forgotten.

I can't believe it's already been five years. I often find myself thinking about or sharing stories about Carl. While I am sad because I can't make anymore 4am trips to Solomons island with him, I am happy because I will never forget those trips that I was fortunate enough to take with him.

Happy Birthday!

Still gets talked about out on the water........

Happy Birthday, old friend!

Maybe the white perch followed him to heaven this year. They miss him as much as we do.

Been a while since we have visited but Carl's wisdom helped me put Quinn and John on fish today in our favorite fishing hole, the Wicomico River. Knowing everything else was blown out, we chose to make the long drive and it paid off. Carl would have been proud!

10 years...

It can't be but it is.

Once again, on Wednesday, I'll be down at the Wicomico with John and Quinn. Carl's name will come up often as I name the places he named. The grass point, bikini beach....

Carl was a good man. And he loved to fish like no one I know. He is missed but lives on.

Catch a few big ones for Carl. He'll like that

As long as you keep his memory alive, he'll live on

Since moving to Pittsburgh I haven't been on this forum very frequently but I certainly think about Carl and our time together often. I miss you, friend

Hope you're having fun up there watching the students of your student having fun on your waters

Thx!

Carl cemented white perch fishing for me. He gets talked about on most trips. His legacy continues...

15 years

Hard to believe.

This morning, I was teaching some kids about fishing and Carl's memory popped up in my head. He used to love to teach his passion to anyone who would listen. His story telling skills were epic.

You're keeping Carl's memory alive

I was just thinking about CJ the other day and I couldn't quite remember exactly how many years it has been. You're right, it really is hard to believe that it's already been 15 years. I frequently think of all the fun trips we had and everything he taught me. When people at work ask why we would be selling so many beetle spins in our Chesapeake bay area stores, I perk up. "Oh, I'll tell you why!"

Hope all is well Dan! I know there are no white perch where you are at but your love of fishing plus Carl's sage advice will benefit your kids!

Carl was not only a teacher but he was an evangelist! He took guys like Mo, who had never fished, and instilled the love of fishing in them. It was contagious. Carl didn't care what he caught, he cared about whoever was on his boat caught. Rare breed.
