seems like a ritual... I'll try lures...but... I enjoyed gettting a permit (that was supposed to cut down on fishermen taking too many fish), waiting for the herring agent to get my bucket of herring, loading the live well and putting on my waders...hope things get better in 3 years (I doubt they will though). No "ritual" of getting up at 3 A.M. to put my bucket in line,getting a dozen, only to fish them effectively for a hour or so...I get to stay in bed now...unless I want to fish with a lure... it's not the same though.
