There isn,t much that beats a great sunrise > been a long f$%^&*() time since I,ve seen one // or sunset
the smell of a ocean low tide in the darkest of nite /laying on your back / waders optional // watching the stars ;;

ya gotta enjoy ..ALL the surroundings  |

hey gonna catch .....you are obviosly frustrated and lord KNOWS I have been there. But it is true that the times I put more pressure on myself to catch the worse I did, the harder I tried, the more lures I bought and failed with, the more I distanced myself from the beauty of a sunset and the more obsessed I became with not catching. I read up on every detail and said "I will try that" only to fail again. Finally one day while "going back to my roots" in fresh water I fished my but off....you name it I fished it......not a single hit. Well my friends kids were in the boat that day simply dropping a shiner over the side.....straight down......you guessed it! they caught smallmouths and largemouths like they were blitzing blues for heavens sake! It was then that I started to realize maybe it was time to forget everything I read, heard or saw in a fishing show. It was time to pull out the old arsenal and keep it simple!
BY the sounds of it youre overcomplicating things and spending 8-10 hours just frustrating yourself everytime.
Seriously think about going on a reputable charter too. We went a few weeks ago with Bil & Jules and caught some nice fish. I would certainly not "pay to fish" everytime I fish but once in a while I think its a good idea to let a professional take the ropes and take the pressure off of yourself to catch. Relax and ENJOY, learn from them, fill the freezer but most importantly let them help you BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE again!!!!!!
wow I think I need a nap now......
