Hiya Spinn
- welcome to Fish Central, you'll like it here.
Dr. Crafty concurs with Joe's earlier diagnosis - if you're after a second opinion. It's a virulent case of striped bass fever exacerbated by it's appearance in the adult male. Tsk tsk tsk.
My advice is to concentrate your efforts on the most productive times of the day. There's gonna be a window of opportunity in every tide when your chances are best, given a number of other factors. It's only like brain sugery if you can't read a tide chart or if you can't look up in the sky to see what the moon phase is, or tell which direction the wind is coming from.
In terms of your significant other, take Dr. Lyons' advice. Don't find yourself undergoing a radical cashectomy over a #%^$&#$* fish. It's really not worth it. If you take care of business at home, you'll find less resistance to your forays. Looking at tide charts you can even tell her when you plan to fish. If moon and tide aren't right, you're just going out for casting practice anyway. There are exceptions to that rule, but they are exceptions. Try a little tenderness, ya know? Ya gotta stop and think that it takes a special woman (like Mrs. Crafty) who really loves ya to put up with this happy horse****.
Good luck
welcome aboard

If the locals get uncomfortable with the question, they'll let ya know, anyway
