With that said, hands down one of the most fun seasons I’ve ever had. Barely fished early on with the virus and a certain tackle shop sending the masses to other people’s back yards (literally). Started back up in Aug. Fished all over the place. Learned to accept my limitations. I just can’t wade bubble weed anymore with a knee that’s had 2 ACL reconstructions and a meniscus before the age of 35. Instead I worked with what I could. Couldn’t get in the boulders, so I started fishing spots where they met sand. Very rewarding and so much more enjoyable than constantly watching the horizon to see which roller wants to ruin your night. This allowed me to dial in on what I was doing and the results were very rewarding. This also led to me not fishing my favorite stretch as I took a bad spill back in June. I basically fished what I consider B+ spots. It was fun as hell and they produced like they would’ve back in the early 2000s. Fished with some great people. My circle is as tight as ever. Great fisherman, even better friends. The most epic sunrises and sunsets and that’s saying a lot because if anyone used to follow me on IG they know I’m a light show junkie. Highlight of the year was seeing a white shark from the beach. What a massive beast. Impressive animals. Wild seeing a pyramid move through the water 75 yards off the sand.

I’m done as my finances have been exhausted and there’s no fish left to be caught. (it’s over), but for me, this season was one for the books.... truly a “catching is a bonus” type year.

Even though I snuck up on your and John's fish, it was awesome sharing a tide with you that night. Even though they were smaller fish, we smoked them!

Thanks! It must be from reeling in all those fish. It certainly isn't from all of the ice cream I've been eating.
