What I want to know is:
Do you mostly fish sand or rocky coastline and why?
rocks- 98% because in RI most sandy spots are mostly structureless... we do not have sweeping currents that scour holes along our beaches
What length rod do you prefer for the type of fishing you do and why?
10 feet- why? leverage for pulling fish out of boulders
Do you prefer to roll your own rods, have them custom made or by ready made brands?
custom works fine for me
What reel type and size, conventional or spinning?
abu 6500 reels for eeling and needlefishing, vs200 for most plugging and soft plastics, Avet sx for jigging and drifting plugs
Do you prefer to throw bait (eels, chunks, liveys) or plug fish mostly?
atrificials 90% of the time eels 10%(when fishing is slow)
What gear you feel essential, other than rod and reel, to be successful?
good wading shoes, waders that dont leak and a plugbag that stays closed when you want it to
What time of year, for your locale has been the kindest to you in your search for the big one?
august
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?
catching comes secondary to being alone in the surf
Do you ever think it's getting old and maybe it's time to find a new pastime?
nope
