I know that I fish nowhere near the amount of time I used to.Age and way to many broken bones have taken their toll.Shot knees and a bionic right arm limit me to what I can do.Standing on wet rocks for hours is out,throwing large plugs on heavy rods isn't happpening.

I've had to alter where and how I fish completely.I fish places that are easier to get to(which means people sometimes) and easier on the body.I still will walk some distance but it has to an easy walk,a lot of beaches and shallow backwater areas now.The very largest rod I now plug with is a Batson 1088 with plugs not much larger than 2oz.

The above limits my ability in many cases to target large and I very often have to settle for smaller bass.I very often will target bluefish because they're there and available.

Hardcore surfcasting imo isn't much exercise.Especially in my case it can add to my already existing conditions.Way I look at it is I can still walk and fish and I do so when I can and in a way that doesn't cause me major discomfort and pain.
