It was the fish that never showed up that gave me so much enjoyment just waiting for it to get wherever I was. For me its the quality of the day, which leads to that moment in time when the vibration of the fish nibbling on whatever your offering is transmitted to your hands, and you pull back on the rod hoping to set the hook. The anticipation of this happening and the time well-spent with friends participating in the same activity at the same time, enjoying each others company is was the best bite in 01 for me...................
And I caught plenty of fish in case your wondering.
It is better to have fished and lost than never to have fished at all. "me"
