A few yrs back I was walkin a casting my way back to where I'd parked. Had covered close to 7 miles .I came upon a couple guys all decked out with the poster child gear. Dry top,$200 plus dollar plug bag,fancy custom rods an good custom plugs.Real catalog hardcores.i know i've got all those toys too.Tried to spark a conversation but got punked off. So I just went on my way. Well I fished past the parking spot an got a sweet 38lb fish.
Got back to the parking lot an the social butterflies were having a hard time as their btry was dead.Well me bein me i helped them get their truck started and then loaded my fish to head for the weigh in. I ran into them the next night an they appolagized for acting like they did.I told them not to worry about it. we all act goofy at times. the key is not to take it all that serious. I fish with both of them every yr on the Island. We're good freinds an their kids enjoy the plugs I give them when I see them.
Fishing is fun and you get to make some memories with some really great people .Don't sweat the little stuff an enjoy it. try to treat people like you like to be treated. If someone makes an oops out of ignorance or because the interpret the rules different than you do well give them a break an show them the way.
None of us own any fishing spot . We just borrow it for a bit.Bob Pond told me that back in the 60's.Kinda makes sence.
