Ross I remember that pain and while there are days I wish I still had one, I don’t miss dealing with the never ending issues.

Seriously don’t miss it because I’d rather be walking a golf course than fishing these days, especially with the decline of the stripers. Now if twenty years ago they not only made them a game fish, but eliminated fishing inside the breeding areas, with trophy fishing abundant; might have rethought getting out of the boating game. Now it’s spring sea bass easily accessed by kayak, tog in the fall, with the occasional boat trip on a friends boat. |

Mike, I respect the hell out of you for keeping at it but it's not there for me anymore. 100+ night a year in the surf for 35 years and then another 100+ nights on my boat for 7 years, I'm done. No more big fish and I don't want any part of hurting what's left. As Bob said, I'd rather be walking the golf course. |

It’s too bad you never got a passion for any saltwater fishing other than the mighty striped bass Paul. I no longer target the species but certainly enjoy the sport of angling regardless of stripes. |

Some of those young fools getting into the pga tour are multi millionaires several times over before they turn thirty. Couldn’t pick a better sport to get some exercise, social distance with friends and enjoy some fresh air. |

Honestly, gazing out at the boat, still in street awaiting a second new sending unit, I am not jonseing or stressing. It will get in the water reasonably soon. And given Covids, the division all over out the country, and the crazy political circus, I am just appreciating being able to work, and being able to walk to work after the past sixteen months dealing with a new knee. Happy I enjoy what I do, and that I am getting stronger physically every day. Thankful for healthy supportive family, even if I cannot see them all physically. With all the crap going on in the world, I haven't the time or the bandwidth to get crazy about the boat issues. But I am gonna enjoy the chit out it when it does happen. |

Wishing I had a job. Ivanka says I should rethink my career choices while she poses with Goya black beans on Instagram.
