Exactly, I dont fish because I want to, its part of who I am and always has been. I can never explain that to people.When my child was born I could have fished maybe once a week or so, but I would rather walk away than fish half a$$. Its all or nothing, its deep in the blood and never leaves, Surcasting for striped bass is without a doubt for me the greatest thing in the world next to family and, even that takes a back seat at times.
I was talking to Capt. Jim White the other day and we compared notes on what we have missed for time on the water. I have missed, weddings, funerals, family functions etc... Just to fish a tide. I have to have the ability to fish whenever I want during the season, If I am forced to stay home I am pacing the floor misrable...I hate it, its like heroin!
I am sure there is a price to pay someday but when the bill is due, I hope its worth it!!
I hate the daylight in summer! I cant wait for it to get dark! to me the summer is nightime, I cant go near a beach without a rod, what me? sit on a beach and get a tan? no way! Water=bass and thats it! I hate to see the millions of people on our beaches during the day disturbing our sacred striper water!! It belongs to the bass! Close all beaches to tourists
Anyway, you get the point!
