I'm in!
Starting out as a kid with a snapper pole on the Great South Bay, moved up to a zebco...until I was 6 was living for fishing...then got into other sports and didn't get called back to the water until 1999- at that time I was stuck in an office, hating it, and dreamt about escaping from the computer and the meetings and fishing until I finally did it- quit and swore I would do nothing but fish until I got sick of it, and work just enough to keep the ball rolling until that point....that had a momentum all its own, the hypnosis of day after day night after night on the water, building rods, trying to learn the craft, trying to put in time on the water...the spell didn't break until the end of 2002 on the rocks of Rhode Island- just felt like I was free to go on and do other things...not so much as a breakthrough but a realization...these days, don't get on the water as much as I would like, so I am trying to focus on the more analytical side of fishing- analyzing my logbooks, doing more research on fish behavior, patters, etc... nerdy stuff, but I'm into it.
I saw the link to this board a few weeks ago when I was looking at Mike Laptew's blog and signed on...happy to be aboard!
