Sounds good, here is my take.

Do you mostly fish sand or rocky coastline and why?
Mostly rocky, points, boulders, bars. Why - concentrated fish, deep water access.

What length rod do you prefer for the type of fishing you do and why?
9ft - gets me the distance I need, never felt the need for more.

Do you prefer to roll your own rods, have them custom made or by ready made brands?
I have a mix, of all of the above. Lately I have been picking up off the shelf St Croix's as a matter of conveniece.

What reel type and size, conventional or spinning?
Spinning - VS 200, Shimano Spheros 4000
Casting - Calcutta 401
Do you prefer to throw bait (eels, chunks, liveys) or plug fish mostly?
I prefer eels, then sluggos, then jigs, and then plugs. I am not a confident plug user,

What gear you feel essential, other than rod and reel, to be successful?
I dont know about gear for fishing, but charts of the water I fish, day time scouting and knowledge of currents and holes are key components to success.

What time of year, for your locale has been the kindest to you in your search for the big one?

Still searching for the big one......

Do you feel satisfied upon the end of a nights struggle with whatever you take or do you feel only big bass caught make tyhe effort worth it?
I would have given up long ago if it was about big fish. I enjoy the time on the water and the quest itself.
Do you ever think it's getting old and maybe it's time to find a new pastime?
nope
