Well said, numbskull!
AND,
right on for my current situation.
Your previous post speaks volumes ~as well~
regarding whether to GO or not to GO!
Oddly enuff, before i *learned* the right tide, to narrow and maximize my Striper Window, i would GO with the mindset of hammering the whole tide and several places as the tide would dictate. it seems we are faced with a veritable "Catch 22", when one must balance the commitment to family, work, and landing THE fish of a Lifetime. the olde damned if you DO, and damned if you DON'T sort of thing.
i really enjoy those three or four times a season that my bride & daughter afford me the unlimited weekend excursions ~mostly around sum "select" New moons, as the TIDES will always be there.
they just seem to be more productive during those times
