Thats the nature of the beast Dave, Sad but true, success in every form of life makes someone somewhere jealous, in fishing its the worst. I have had my nights so thankfully it does not get to me if I have a bad night and trust me everyone has bad nights, everyone. So if I meet someone on the beach who is friendly and pleasent I will tell them most anything I am just not going to hold someones hand.
I am struggling lately because I no longer have my partner Joe to fish with, We kept each other going and now I have to push myself to fish for more than two hours its tough, so Know i realize how goos it is to have a partner, Lately when I am fishing I find that I am talking to myself....My point is that now when I run into someone I am kind of happy to stand there and shoot the Sh$$T for a while I like the company.
When I first bumped into eban he told me he did not want to crowd me and would move down to the next point ( which I respect by the way) My reaction was no, come over here plenty of room
I enjopyed the company, is my point.
I sometimes wonder if there will ever be another Joe, I miss that .
