I'm with you, Chris -

A good nite of fishing for me is as likely to be followed by a cold Pepsi as a cold beer - AFTER I've returned home to put away my gear.

As for drinking and fishing... never. It doesn't mix well with navigating rocks and swells in the dark. A friend of mine was formerly an accident investigator for the RI DEM - none of the stories are pretty and most of them involved alcohol.

Not that I've turned into a teetotaler in my old age - but there's a time and a place as far as I'm concerned.

I think everyone here will be focused on the fishing aspect. And everyone I would think expects to help offset expenses and give a hand where needed.

Besides, we've still got some winter to go and the planning will help pass a few more of the snowy nights we have left.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
