I say a special "Thank you" to my father when fishing, because he was the one that got me started. With him it wasn't about the gear as it was about the fisherman. He taught me to REALLY appreciate patience and, when I can find it, peace and quiet no matter where I am. (Think about finding solitude in a crowd, that kind of "zen" thing)

Prior to his passing in 2001, we would spend 1 long weekend a year camping and fishing down on the cape. Sun up to sun down in a 12" pram, only touching land when it was time to go back to camp.

I have so many memories of just these trips alone, and we did plenty of day trips as well.

I can only hope that I have inspired at least one of my neices or nephews in a similar fashion, so that others can find their own nirvana.
