Rather Stressed at the moment
Stuck at work with no possibility of escape and getting multiple calls about an all-out big bass blizt happening just a few miles away. I cannot think straight nevermind accomplish anything. Normally I could scoot out for an hour but circumstances are not in my favor.
This sucks!!!!  |

Priorities. They are just fish. Work and family come first.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been working more hours than ever the last few months and have had much less time to fish. Yesterday was the first time I got out in the morning and fished from 5am till 7:15 then rushed home to get my son on the bus and went to work. I figure as much as it sucks, I'm lucky to have a good job that lets me provide for my family and myself. Besides, the fish will be around at some point when I'm out there. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

Don't answer the phone if you know who's calling! 
The anxiety will dissapate gradually until you can get out! |

Surprisingly none. I guess no one was interested in catching 30# bass!
I am still at work but took a quick ride at 2PM to see that there was still activity but less than earlier. Oh Well, I still have a job and my friends picked up a few nice fish. Perhaps it will repeat tomorrow... |

I have a friend who will call you, put his phone next to his reel while a fish is taking drag. Then hang up.
I will get my revenge ……

It did repeat this morning so I was able to get out there for a coupla hours before work. Only one fat mid-30 inch fish to show for it. They were super-focused on the peanuts and herring fry. Not checking messages until I am about to leave work today......

For a guy who owns a striped-bass fishing website, it would seem that you should fish a little more than you do. I hope you at least get to fish more than Spence. There's a rumor that he found his fishing gear behind some garment bags filled with designer suits in his basement and is considering using it before the fall run is over. |

It is important to provide for your crew, no question. But you have to feed your soul as well.
Let me ask you this simple question...
On your last day of life on earth, will you say:
Gee, I am glad I spent that time with a friend or family member creating fond fishing memories
OR
Gee, I am glad I got those extra hours in at work before I die.
I know what my answer would be...if at all possible, go fish. work will be there when you get back.

2 years ago I probably fished 75+ nights/days
Last year probably 30 after screwing up my knee
This year 3 times for a variety of reasons by primarily my back |
