For me, locally speaking, the meter on this Fall so far has wobbled between poor and not so good size- and numbers-wise

Looking at the calendar I've got the feeling that the 2 minute warning is about to sound and I feel like I'm down by ten - so what you do is hitch up your pants and give 'em hell

I was talking to Pt Jude Joe about it last night and he said it's gonna happen somewhere sometime and if it's gonna happen to someone, it might just as well be us - so go fish. You can't catch 'em from your couch

Besides, God hates a quitter...

Don't defeat yourself by losing the faith - fishing is driven by eternal optimism

The power of positive thinking keeps you pounding the trail - and all prognostications and theorizing aside, we won't know it's over 'til it's actually over

And I don't really think that time is now...

"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.
