Fishing or boating friends who aren't conservative old men (fedia.io)

I don't think this is what this community was intended for, but I don't think there's anywhere else, either.

I've been trying for years to find a fishing buddy or a boating buddy who is not a conservative old man. I have encountered some very friendly conservative old men. I have come across people who suggested a fly fishing class.

I can't do fly fishing due to physical limitations.

Any suggestions on where to find such a buddy would be appreciated.

I live in Seattle but can travel a little bit. I have a boat near Tacoma. I'd love to try some river fishing as long as it doesn't involve a hike (physical limitations).

I also have a little Hi-Laker boat that I'm looking to offload, in case anyone's interested.

i wish I still lived in the area. I'd totally be down for some fishing with you. I don't know how to hook you up with someone cool without being weird but south park and ballard are full of cool people who would be happy to bring anything cool person into their circle. check out the dive bars and ask the bartenders who might be cool

just have a few drinks at the bar and ask the bartender if they know someone your age who's interested in an extra hand for some fishing. if you're don't get a good response ask where you should ask
