I don't fish fresh water like I used to, every season I took two trips in the spring and two in the fall to Lake O.... it's too labor intensive for me now. I don't fish salmon on Winni like I used to.. my sweet water activity is only in the winter.
I don't chase bass up and down the coast like I once did, in the 70's I would start in jersey and fish my way as far north as Popham beach in Maine, Now i'm too old, and the big fish are few in that northern range.and I don't have the ambition to drive countless hours. the last 20 years I've stuck tight to my home patch of water, it's been good to me, I don't fight the elements like I once did, and I pick and choose tides that I WANT to fish, mainly because it's easier... life is a circle, my circle brings me back to my home waterers that I cut my teeth on almost 6 decades ago.
