It's all according to how much you love Stripers. Back in the mid-90s my fishing partner and I were doing 600 miles every weekend to fish the Back beaches. Yep, 150 miles one way to P-Town. R/T Friday and Sat night.

I looked for property in Narragansett or anywhere in South County. I am just not rich enough. Cheaper for me to drive the 1 hour plus each way.

No boat, back in the suds.

yeah guys, I hear what you're saying, I guess I really meant that you guys that go out every night and don't get crap from your wives are lucky, not lucky, but good. If I went out every night, my wife-to-be would kill me and we are not even married yet! that's why it would be cool to live closer so I could still get 2-3 hours of fishing in and be home around 11. Now after I get home from work, eat dinner with her, help clean up, and drive to the spot, it's 8:30-9:00 before I can blink an eye!!

I know I know.. I have a lot to learn..

Personally, I think there is only so much common sense that can be applied to fishing. If it was that easy, we'd all be sharpies. How many times have you gone out to fish your favorite spot, under conditions that you perceived to be "perfect", using these methods that fall into the "common sense" catagory only to walk out 3 hours later proudly displaying the skunk you landed. Some people really seem to have the gift, understanding some other (possibly simple) circumstance(s) that we all overlook. Face it you will never conquer fishing... no one will. It wouldn't be any fun if you did....
