in hind sight I probably vented my frustration of being a boat owner that can't afford to use it and also doesn't have the time or help to run the boat properly. There are certainly better ways to express my frustrations than an internet message board.
The people who do have the $ for maintainece, fuel, bait/gear insurance I hope you do enjoy it and catch fish cause it certainly is an investment of time and skill. THis is even more so if you practice catch and release, cause it's just pure love of fishing not #'s or claims to fame.
I maintain I personally love landing large off a beach to catching on a boat. Maybe i need to dust off my whaler and give it another go
