Why the assumption that I don't have one? Just asking, not trying to start with you NIB, we already went down that dead end street with each other. As it has been said, too much emphasis has been put on that by some. To each his own, though, as no one should be judged on their personal goals. One's accomplishments or time spent in the surf, however, should not go to one's head either. Some guys (and girls) just have "it". Just because one person has spent 60 years in the surf, while another only 5, is one any better automatically? Not at all. If you put quality time in, keep track of what/where/when works and what doesn't, you don't need to spend all night every night out beating yourself up. I would rather spend 2 quality hours in the surf catching, than 6 hours looking for those 2 hours of fish. That allows me to get up the next day and scout new water, snorkel water I fish to look for bait, and make my next night more successful than if I spend the whole day sleeping and regaining my energy. Maybe the "new guard" is just a bit wiser ...
