You guys ARE wimps!!

I got up 4 days in a row at 2:00 AM and was in my boat on the bay by 3. Fog, rain, wind, I don't care I love this sport.

Maybe because my big C returned and I figure I may not have a lifetime left to fish.

Enjoy it while you can guys. You get old quickly and it creeps up on you.

Anyway, I has 2 great days with a total of 15 fish all over 15# up to 25.5#.
I also got absolutely skunked 2 days but I was fishing in my boat so I loved every minute of it.

WTF.. were you going to tell anyone...


Steve, I can empathize... a lot of higher priorities, and just don't have the drive to do 100+ nights a season like years past. I'm sure it will be back, but for now, fishing knows it's place!

Not to judge...but maybe you've started fishing for the wrong reasons. Guys who have built reputations as top fishermen might feel that they need to go out year after year to maintain that status. They may not even be aware that they're doing it.

Remember when you fished for the pure enjoyment of it? If you got skunked, you got skunked. If you caught fish, great!

Nobody follows me around on the beach or in a boat. Nobody calls me for advice or for info on spots. I'm not fishing to prove anything to myself or to others. Nobody knows me. When fishing stops being relaxing and rejuvenating....I'll quit.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Sorry to hear about the C paul... my thought are w/you.
