Fishing doesn't suck.... it's what I find most satisfying and honestly what I love doing most. The availability of certain stocks suck, fisheries management has sucked, shore access sucks.... but no, not fishing.

Getting old doesn't suck.... some don't have the luxury of getting old, they pass on well before their time, so appreciate getting old, no matter how tired, battered and ill you may become. Life gives opportunity to those who take advantage of it.

Although it may be sad to look back on the old days, it brings many of us very fond memories of times on the water, times with friends that may no longer be with us. Without those memories, it's a much more lonely world. Enjoy reliving those memories, whether with friends or alone...for some, memories are all that remain.

And lastly, this site isn't sad.... it's the Fall Run that's sad....

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Very well said my friend.

No boat, back in the suds.

Agree, fishing in and of itself never sucks, even thou I don’t have the desire to get out as often; when I do it’s always rewarding. Sometimes the fishing isn’t great, but it’s a rare day if I’m not catching something. If I were just targeting stripers those rare skunks might come more frequently, but for me it’s about bending a rod and bringing home some eaters not trophies.

This site like so many other things, suffers from the move to other social media platforms, but I still enjoy this site for its community, friendships and lack of in your face advertising.
