Fred.. my brother!..we have become peas in a pod.....
not quite ready to sell gear... but the thought has crossed my mind...
it ain't what it usta be...and age is a factor.. sleep has become a real need..
(can no longer go with little or none, just can't function, and that's, that)
also..new schedule for me now.. up and at em way earlier, and also working longer days..( once again) this year... averaging 10 hour shifts...
add in beach closures, them furry rat like critters, and all the other chit that plauges the beaches, plus my no love of traffic, crowds or (most) people
...well... other pursuits, seem worthy.
but, ya never know... even Flap had a spell where he laid off, I remember him speaking of it, and I took a sabatical from the salt in the early 90's and got into fresh water bassing in a big way...actually revisted a few of my old favorite haunts recently from those days, and was disappointed to see most of my favorite small ponds access were all gone.. private signs, fenced off dead end dirt roads, and big new houses around some pristine sweet water....
