All I know is that for the past several years up until last year I have not been able to fish any where near as much as I would like. I started fishing in 1990 from the surf and before I knew it there were years I could count the nights I missed in Sept Oct and Nov on one hand. Had a 24 CC for a few years and did extremely well sold it and went back to the surf but like I said could not fish any where near as much as I wanted. Last season I was able to fish as much as I wanted to and still work, putting in around 100 nights and prob this side of 60 were all nighters. I fell in love with the surf again in so many ways it would take hours to talk about it, fishing alone, with my boys, with friends, every single night when I was about to get started I was enthrawled in the anticipation of what the night would bring, the darkness,he moon, the stars the rain, the wind, the surf, finding a piece of water that looked so promising I would fall getting out to the rock I wanted to get on. Standing on a rock with overhead water in front of you............just a taste of some of it.........how about the planning and getting the up to the minuet conditions to formulate a game plan that made sense and the executing it..............some times with success some times not so much................recharging the batteries and back again to do it one more night...........at 60 not so easy............passionately driven to do it one more night and then again. I am in love with surf fishing once again and I thank God for the gift....................................its always nice to bump into an old or new friend once in a while on the journey too.
