Most of the time I fish alone. I enjoy the solitude of the night tides. I do, however, find myself talking outloud:
"Last cast. This is it, last cast."
"Come on bass. Where are you?"
"Fricking weed."
"Bump"
"Pick up.............come on take it."
'Skunk get on out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

But how about the talking that goes on when I've finally tied into a good one..........

Yeah, I find myself coaching myself like a newbie when I;m tied to moby... you're not alone!

LOL... How about someone comming over and asking you how you and your partner are doing? and you tell them my partner... I'm here alone pal.. Then you see that look and they say good luck and hurry off..

one more cast

Every now and then a voice pops in and says "go to spot X" sometimes I listen, I think I should listen more...

Also I talk to the fish sometimes... One night in late oct/early Nov, a real nice fat Bass ~keepr sized or so not huge but nice looking fish was just out a reach on the Ctown breach, it was nasty, out going and basically hell trying to get down... finally got close... fish went into a crack in the rocks... tried for 20 min to free her, got soaked, and and to cut the line... times like that I find my self apolozing to the fish.... also I have a habit of whispering thanks to every bass I release... kinda some wierd ritual I have....

Paying homage to a great thing, something we should all practice. I know that i should. What can I give back to the sea after taking so much?

Mikecc I know what you mean by those two simple words:
last cast.

I talk to myself while fishing all the time...a few classics that come to mind:

I wish that guy would turn off that 1millioncandlepower headlight!

I have said stuff like that as well. Sometimes you see some amazingly beautiful things out there. (sunsets, shotting stars all kinds of stuff)

Now THAT is weird man...:laughs:

no no you should have written "now thats a weird man " and you would have been correct .

I always thank GOD for the first fish of the day,as the sun rises and when the oil hits the water before lastlight,which is about as close to heaven as i'll get!
also-- OK -5 more casts, ok-10 more casts. :)

I guess I'm not the only one. I talk to myself all the time when fishing alone. Laugh, curse, grumble, yell.........
Sandman, I say all the same chit..... LMAO:D
