i wore myself out during the derby, fishing 6 nights a week. 4-6 hrs a trip, and longer trips on weekends when i didn't have to work the next day. its not the fishing that wears me out as much as the long walks searching for fish and then going to work the next day.
so many mornings i wake up feeling like i was hit by a truck from all the hoofing and catching from the night before. dragging fish back along a 2-3 mile stretch of beach will wear anyone down.
i wa actually glad when it ended, it meant i could relax and just fish. i took 3 nights off, slept and recovered and have been back at every night since. still catching fish, but not feeling the need to stay out all night. if i feel good i keep fishing, but i know that i have put in my time and got some nice fish....
i still go every night knowing my fish of a life time is waiting behind that rock....
