Heather, He isn't truly interested in the fishing up there. I might be wrong, but I think he's fishing for info and trying to find a soft spot in your heart to get something out of you. He's done this before and unfortunately, you do have that soft spot whenever he's showing interest or being kind to you.
I wouldn't address the deadline issue w/him. It's none of his business when it is. Also, if he's so darn interested in the actual past time of fishing, he could use the internet to search for the area and see what's biting in that region.
You do not need to respond. He's got the wrong kind of bait to hook you this time!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
