I spent years driving to the coast every other weekend and fishing friday night, trying to sleep saturday, fish sat nite and then drive home sunday.
I'm too old to last all weekend on four hours sleep.
So now I play golf and fish for Pike, bass and trout in Rivers near me.
I can catch 3'+ pike literally in my backyard and I keep hearing the Striper fishing is dead.
It's ok.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Pete, not sure if you remember, but I would often run into you at various spots in South county about 10 years ago.... when the mullet run was booming, and we were staying awake on adrenaline...
... I met so many great people in passing , you were one of them. (I still think about installing that wetsuit zipper you made!)

Worked great, hated peeing in wet suit
I think I used to run into you in front of the little camp east of Quonnie
I expect it’s a McMansion by now

When I first started out I fished the local south shore beaches cutting my teeth in the surf! Then I found Cape Cod, bought a beach buggy (my Jeep CJ-7) and started learning the backsides beaches and driving Race Point for years until the plovers and the seals killed Cape Cod! I then moved my fishing closer to home fishing the ditch for many years until the crowds killed that! I then bought my first kayak in 2009 and have been kayak fishing both saltwater and freshwater! Its been a great journey and I have fished alot of great places! The journey continues.........

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
