Disturbing ... Men in tights ... Isn't there a law ? If your going to wear tights you shouldn't be making snide remarks or yelling at people who don't leap out of the way of Tour de France. I've heard about it ,but never witnessed the level of ignorance I've seen today . Kick his azz Sea Bass ...

Larry .. I've had season's like that when I just couldn't get to the water when I wanted too .. I saw pics of you and Matt with cows and hitting it right all the time . I made it for the scraps . This is my best year ever (didn't even fish in August) only because my boss kept laying me off when the fishing was good .. dumb luck I guess .. Keep the Faith Bro ..

Come out for some livelining macks before it's over, Larry. It is boatfishing.... but it's all good. They are crushing the macks! Almost have PaulS converted....

Ditto

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

My knee giving me problems now is the one WITH an ACL, the one with no ACL is doing OK.

Probably overcompensating. I'm starting to have pain in my other knee as well. Good luck..

My best year since the 70s. I have put in a lot of time but I have caught a ton of bass. Biggest was around 37-38# so no monsters. Still hundreds of 20#+ fish and maybe 30, 30#+ fish. I would say that the ratio is probably 70% to 30% boat fish to surf caught.

No boat, back in the suds.

my season had sucked this year,

due to work,the kid, and other things didn't get out as much as I wanted, watched other people bail 30's-40's outta the canal in the spring, and honestly the times I went out I was skunked. But went out on Labor day, caught my first fish of the year, a black sea bass, then a few days later, I caught a schoolie bass, also my first of the year. Last week got into some albies and had a blast. These 3 trips have turned my season around. Don't get discouraged, it's about enjoying the time out there that matters. Catching is just a bonus.

60 % of the time, it works every time.
