You got to meet the overnight delivery guy at the office. The girl that works the overnight shift at XTRA mart No longer asks for your date of birth when you buy smokes Because she Already knows it. I might never make the cover of the fisherman But unhealthy living just called And they want to do a whole photo shoot.

When the supermart clerk commends you for not wearing your cleats in the store.

You know you fish a lot when...

Your wife sends in a wedding reply as a single because she knows I will be fishing on a Saturday night in late September.

You know you fish a lot when :

You stop at the same Dunken Donuts and order the same thing to the point where the girls just tell you to drive on up with out ordering and they know you by your first name.

OR

You eat at the same breakfast joint and the waitress brings over the coffee and the check and tells you your order will be right out.

The dog tries to bite you when you do come home, because your a stranger to her.

In three days you have maybe 5 hours sleep total and still make plans to head out again later.

When your car smells worse than you do.

Unfotunately, I don't fish enough to have any witty comments here, but my car still smells pretty bad.

When The Rod, waders, plug bag, and head lamp. Never leave your van.

:fishin:when the constable borrows a four-wheel-drive-truck and buys waders to find you in the surf to deliver the summons to probate court.:fury:

When you tell your friends your going to block for a month and they say "total for the year ". And you reply no just this trip.

When you post a comment in a thread titled "You know you fish a lot when" :rotf2:

When you dont have time to respond to threads like this because youre actually out fishing...

Clearly I'm not fishing enough!!!

When people in the fishing industry think you actually fish too much. Also when your friends ask if they can be your beneficiary when you tell them you are going out in certain conditions. My name is .... And I have an issue....

When getting out 3-4x a week isn't good enough that you have to take 6 weeks out in the summer to fish 7 nights a week and then complaining because after the 6 weeks you know you're only fishing 3-4x a week again...

Covered Block, Cutty and Montauk all within 2 weeks while fishing your usual spots in between the other places mentioned...

Getting your luggage ready for a vacation/trip and finding new,unused,still in the package plugs that you realized you had bought right before heading over to the ferry for Cutty...

When you've fallen off the same rock multiple times because you haven't slept in three days and decide to catch a nap in the water wedged behind the rock...

cop pulls you over on rt 6 and you have no rod in your truck and he still asks you if there are any fish around because he sees your truck parked at the canal so ofter

oddly, these posts make me feel more normal...

when you "auto-drive" to your favorite hole instead of home after an 18 hr shift

You walk in your favorite tackle store and announce you quit your job and everyone says "Ut oh, the Fall run has started".

Or the say "Me too!"

When you walk into your favorite coffee joint and they have a picture of you posted on the wall with the "have you seen me?" caption underneath.....and it looks better than you do now!!

When your waders put themselves in the washing machine.

You wake up in your car wearing waders, in your neighbor's driveway.

when you make your class schedule for the upcoming spring, by referencing the past 3 years log books

you remember every detail of your first bass, but not of your first kiss

your girlfriend thnks you are seeing another girl, becasue you spend so much time in montauk

when you are texting making plans for the night of fishing while using the bathroom and you have no idea that you are completely missing the toilet and pissing all over your magazines until after you hit send...

I threw the magazines away, but youre better off never borrowing a book from me... I dried those out.

You should sit when you pee.

When your basement or garage looks better stocked than the local tackle shop.


When the following morning you realize that the beach chair you're using at you kid's soccer game has a needlefish plug hanging off the back.

When in the middle of the day at work you feel something poking your inner thigh and you reach down into your pants and pull out a teaser caught in your good work pants and your Portuguese intern calls you a Greenhorn.

When you leave your house at 2am to fish and get to work at 10am and can't concentrate and have to post on SB.

when you take a hard right turn you can hear the plugs rattle in the trunk

KIA'd

When you try to sneak into the big bed with the lights off and your wife says-- Who is it???

Your in a derby fishing stoop-er. You wake up and your kid needs a ride to school. You hop in your shorts and he is in the truck waiting to go. You try and chat it up on the way to school. Your body is in auto-pilot and you drive him to the boat. You stop the truck and say "here you go" and he says...Dad...I need to go to school !

When two weeks bf your having a spinal fusion you talk a semi acquaintance to drive you 2.5 hours to the canal while you lay in the back set get out and fish for 7 hrs drive back laying down in the back seat crying in pain and your fishing buddy has to carry into your house.

Your wife has picked up ballyhoo for you on her way home

When the doctor says "You have tendonitis in your elbow" and it is not from tennis. I have to make sure he gives me the cortisone, just before i go to block next week.

When your wife knows to keep the eels iced down when your at work. That was no easy task..

When your kid thinks your eels are part of the family pets.

My son named one and won't let me take it out of the eel tank when I go fishing. It's the smallest one in the tank so he can tell it apart from the rest and if he doesn't help me net them to put in my bucket, he checks to make sure I didn't grab it by mistake.

When you turn completely nocturnal and cannot sleep between the hours of 9pm and 3am. Even on the nights you say home to catch up, somehow the fog mysteriously shakes off as the sun sets.

...no matter how much sleep you've lost the previous 3 nights in a row.

Like right now!!!!! :smash:

Yep. Me too

When all the reports become transparent and you see through them as such. Because you have real intel on what was going on in a given place what they were feeding on etc. And how truly catchable the fish were. When you understand that at times you will have your ass handed to you by a big fish while a "googan" will land a big fish on inferior gear 100 yards away from you just because sometimes that's the way it goes

You know you fish alot when girlfriend gets stuck by hook when taking the mail off the dinner table.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

You go to play golf, and your swing feels like a lawn chair unfolding

Your wife complains about a leak in one of her car tires and asks if you would take a look at it. You walk over to the tire and see a 4/0 VMC treble sticking out tread. You pull it out and are impressed with how well it held up under the road abuse.
She asks...did you fix it? yeah...nothing a shot of fixaflat couldn't repair.

When you cut your honeymoon short cause there's a bite on the block...

When your 3 year old tells her pre-school teacher and class that her favorite food is "Fish & Chips" - She's never had fish in her life.....

when pulled over by cops and they ask for your licence and you give them your fishing licence

When your setup is worth more than your car 😟

When you rack up 60k miles worth of canal trips on the odometer in 2 yrs

you rig eels at work during your lunch break, have someone walk in on you and ask what the hell you are doing, and you tell them youre having sushi for lunch. (true story... last week)

when your wife makes you go to movie and there is a scene on a beach and you start looking at the waves and rocks and start thinking about how to fish it.

classic...

When you get knocked off a rock by a wave and are concerned that you might have blown out your ACL again and yet still continue to fish.

When you can't get your waders off because said knee suffered a hematoma and is the size of a softball.

When you just leave the waders on because the knee is too swollen to take them off and drive 25 miles back east to fish the last of the drop.

This is actually when I fished, of course...

when you have to move to Florida cuz you can fish all twelve months everyday !! thats liven :fishin::fishin::fishin::fishin::fishin:

When you see a sump and wonder if you can sneak in and see if there are fish in it.

When a hurricane is about to hit and you say to your family "I'm going fishing now"

When u carry toiletries in ur truck... Even toilet paper.
