Thumbs up

I live for the times the current is right an the jig is just tickin the bottom u now there's fish there it's all too perfect.Then woom ur on.I live for the midnight runs one jetty after another the wind an tide are right an u vacuum every fish off the front's of the jetty's.I love the one that hits just bfor i pull it out of the water to remind me I am not alone.The sunrise an a live bait the wave rolls an u feel the take as a boil the size of my van appears.The sunrise an the peanuts are washin on the shore an all my crappy plugs work...I love preparin all my cool %$%$%$%$ an numerous lures for a road trip to narrow the selection down to a few plugs for the bag an catch 40 fish on one lure.Makin the walk over a mile on small rocks passin two good spots to get to a rock I know in shoulder high water climb up on an have my first cast an many others get inhaled by those pesky 15-20 lbers.Fishin the sand pure black night holdin my plug in the pull of the wave an the rod tip doubles over.Standin all in a row wit all my buds gettin fish on pencil poppers in the fall.hootin an hollerin with each explosion.jerzy giants on pencils waves soakin us on the jetty fronts gettin my 30 an then helpin others coachin some kid on how to land the giant he just hooked an gaffin it for em watchin in disbelief when his parents see his prized possession.Its all good when a plan comes together. I only remember the good times.Believe it or not I am not one of those chatty fishin types.I like to concentrate on what I am doin I guess.some might not consider that fun but it just puts me in a trance.I like how everything slows down when I hook a good fish to a Zen state o mind.(not even sure what that is but it sounded good) I can BS with the best o them later.Most importantly I Cherish The great places I have traveled an all the friends I have made who share the same love of this great sport for whatever reason.
