Geez, if 5/0 is below average and ProfessorM is just average, I should just sell all my gear beacause I stink. I grew up boat fishing with my dad and was pretty good at it. Then I started surf fishing about 5 or 6 years ago because I wanted to fish more than just on weekends. I fish when I have the opportunity, which isn't always the best time to be out there. Sometimes I do all right, other times I get skunked, but I almost always enjoy myself.

I'm definitely still learning and still make the occasional stupid mistake (like last night). I've been lucky to fish with some guys who I consider to be in the top 10% of striped bass fishermen in this area, and have been able to learn from them. I hope to be able to move up to novice within a couple more years.

	Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
