There are many times during the course of a Canal season when I pass up the morning tides, even when I know they'll be tons of breaking fish.

I'd rather fish at night. Plain and simple. I like the (relative) solitude. I like the quiet. I like the fact that few people are going to crowd me, or cast over my head. I like hearing the water gurgling, hearing the nocturnal animals around the Canal, the fog, the sound of a fish rolling at the feet of a guy across the way. I like the challenge of catching fish on the bottom, or the unseen swirl and sudden take if I'm throwing a plug.

After catching tens of thousands of fish, I prefer to fish the way I like.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
