Dear CWL,
Please come in and lay down on the couch and I will turn the lights down so you can relax.
Now, this problem that you say you have involves Striped Bass? Please do not think that you are alone in your illness because you are not alone. This sickness inflictes hundreds and possibly thousands of men and women every year along both the West and East Coasts as well as many of the large inland bodies of water that hold Striped Bass.
I have had this sickness since I was 5 years old and I will be 65 in July of this year. It is not an illness that one finds a cure for readily. I have thus far in my pursuit captured Stripers up to 61 1/2 pounds and still I find myself waking in the middle of the night, looking at the clock and realizing that the tide is turning in my favorite fishing spot and then laying there trying to go back to sleep but unable to do so as I am too keyed up to rest.
I urge you to get a grip on your life and set your priorities so that you can continue to be the man you are and not become a zombie in constant pursuit of Bass.
You admit that you have a wife, child and job. These are important . You don't mention that you desire to have a boat, motor, trailer and tow vehicle, six more fishing rods and twelve more reels and fourteen more boxes of lures and baits. There is hope for you!
When the weather is unfit for fishing, hug your wife and child, tell them how much you Love them and appreciate having them in your family. Then when the weather turns good you can go fishing knowing that you have told your family how much you care!
Remember that your job makes every thing else in your life possible so always go to work cheerful that you have this job. Put out of your thoughts that the job is in conlict with the best bite and swiftest tide and best fishing time. Remember your priority. The job is most neccessary to pay for the fishing!
I am sorry but your time is up for now.
The tide is about to make in my favorite spot and I have to go fishing. I don't really care if you pay me for this visit or not, just get your car out of my driveway, I want to go fishing!
I need to go fishing and I will drive over your car if you don't get it out of my way at once. Hurry, Hurry.!!!!!!!!
