i would love nothing more than to not fish right now. but people all around me are laying into monsters. if i stopped now i would never forgive myself. i had plans of being packed up and settled in for winter by now. so every day i fish like it's the last day of the season. and the next day the fishing gets better! (for every one else)

i can enjoy a sunrise or set as much as the next guy. but ya seen one, ya seen them all. and i see both every day. (today was a nice day off)
seeing things like whales, and osprey carrying pogies over my head are amazing. seeing odd creatures lurking around under docks etc. i do soak it in. but nature gets routine after seeing the same things every day. i'm not out for a picnic after all. if i've got my rod, i'm out there to catch fish. just so happens that i almost never leave my house with out my rod in hand.

all my social buddies gave up on me. cause i spend saturday night out fishing instead of drinkin up. in fact pretty much when ever i get a call i am on the water. typical day is.. go out in the morning fish till around noonish. then wait for my buddy to get out of work and head back out around 5 or 6 and fishing til midnight or later. and there is the weekends.. during which the fishing NEVER stops. we often get all the sleep we need with our bait soaking.

i think once i finally get my first keeper i will be able to relax. but then again it could ignite me into a fishing frenzy..
