I think I'm a pretty good novice. I used to be better at it when I was healthier and fish more often. Now I'm a closet kit maker and give many away to friends and cousins, but fish my own stuff 90% of the time which probably limits my catching (and theirs). In it all for the fun of it, after family, kids, work, remission, now dealing with an aging ailing parent. When I find time to wake early, enjoy a sunrise and go fishing I relish every moment. Who cares if I don't catch anything? I've caught bigger fish before and I'd like to catch more. I spent the last 10 days on a river in West Dennis. Caught scup, a small bass, and cornered the market on cocktails, never getting the opportunity to use my surf stuff. I bought every snapper popper Benny's had and over a few days doled them out to kids fishing a public dock who didn't know what they were doing. They were ecstatic about the results and what a sense of elation that gave me.

Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish. ~Herbert Hoover
