My typical planned trip is to hit a spot that produces well at a particular time of year.....spring I focus on spots south of me down around the canal area.....later season I fish more local to me with occasional forays to the Capes backside or Cuttyhunk.
Mostly, regardless of the time of the season, I am simply looking for a great day or night out fishing! I am always trying to be ready when that "SLOB" might happen to take my offering but mostly I am looking for enjoyment of the place, the moment, and hopefully some productive fishing! Sure I want that trophy fish but that is not my focus when I head out! Fishing all plugs I am simply looking to entice a good bite in a place I enjoy and all that goes along with that be it a beautiful sunrise or sunset, a rainy, sloppy afternoon on a jetty somewhere or a dark night combing either a rocky shoreline or a sandy backside beach under a partial moon.....my basic reqirement for a successful and enjoyable trip is 1 fish minimum. No size requirements......just to get out and catch fish and enjoy the moment no matter where I am or when I am there.....each fish I catch is a moment savored and one that I am always thankful for! My best fishing buddies have been blessed with their big fish......mine has not come yet and I learned over the last few seasons to enjoy the moment and eventually.......mine will come in its own good time......and I will enjoy it all the more when it does!
