what would YOU do ???

What keeps me away. Hmmm

Well most of my fishing is done on instinct. If I don't have the feeling then I don't go or I go and I quit early. I live close enough to the beach that I can tell the conditions. I've also been fishing for so many years, I can take a look at the sky and feel the wind and have a pretty good idea of what's gonna go down.

The other thing that also makes me stop is lightning. Graphite and Lightning are not a good mix. Add to that I'm 100 yards off shore and the highest point is me or the rod, you can see why I call it quits.

The good thing about the reef is as long as the wind is perpindicular, you can find a side to fish.

The one other thing that makes me stop fishing is crowds. The reef isn't too much of a problem because when it's high, only people out there are fishermen. When it's low, you have enough room to cast although it can get tricky if there are fly guys there. But the beach and the fake jetty can be rough. Walkers are all around. Then on the beach, you have dogs, walkers, horses, and little kids. It can get complicated. I try to find a quiet spot but if I can't, I can't and I might as well pack it in.
