When did the Germans attack Pearl Harbor?
Definitely, the season isn't over... I want to hit the RI surf a time or two and the Thames goes all winter. And I have a return date for a couple days out on the Florida flats with some reds and snook to look forward to...
But while it ain't over, it isn't the same as slingin' eels in the surf under the stars 20 minutes from my driveway, or droppin' the boat down the street and lookin' for birds and breakin' fish.
It just won't be at my fingertips like it has been all summer...
I don't know, I just get a bit of a knot in my gut when the leaves start falling, when its dark at 6pm, and that wind starts getting a bite to it. I love fall, but its a bit ominous.
Maybe I'm just afraid of the credit card damage my wife will start doing as Christmas approaches... you spent what on your 3rd cousin, twice removed!?
But you're right, if I want to keep fishing, I just need to put in a bit more effort and tough out the cold.
