I can relate to the OP, because I moved to Mt Juliet in 2012, am retired, and was looking for a fishing partner. I bought a boat, and shortly thereafter met my buddy Otto. Helped me learn to troll for crappie on Priest, and knows where all the good spots are. Just like me can troll for hours on end without ever getting bored, regardless of weather, and always remembers where the best spots are too. Whenever I'm ready to head out, or takeout, so is Otto. We never argue, and he never gets hung up or has to borrow equipment.
Yup, good old Mr. Otto Pilot - the perfect fishin buddy.
