There is also a heightened sense of the end rushing up on you. The season is not bright and long, it is now shorter with an end measured in weeks, scattered with storms that may shut you down.

Besides, what better name is there for it than the Fall Run?
Cap, that's beautiful...

It's also making old Uncle Crafty horny for fish...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
