All those things you listed about finding good spots and having some help may have attributed to your sucess, but you are doing one thing the normal googan does not you are fishing at night.

Babe, after 46 years of doing it I still do the things you mention. Don't make it hard on yourself. Remember there is alot more to fishing than the catching of fish. The people you fish with, the places you fish, the sights and the sounds. It all goes hand in hand. Laugh it off, that's what I do and don't take it so seriously. It's supposed to be fun. Some of the guys theat post here are hardcore, meticulous about each knot, what line, what lure, all that stuff. I was once like that but now that this Friday I turn fifty, I am letting that all go to just fish for the fun and relaxation it brings. You get to that point sooner or later in your fishing career. I used to stay awake nights frustrated that the biggest bass I ever caught was 49.9 pounds. Know what? I don't care anymore! If it happens it happens, if it don't it don't. No big deal. Catching a fifty is not the mark of a real fisherman. I had people who never caught a striper in thier lives catch a fifty right aside of me, one guy I took out on the beach with me one night years ago never caught a bass and first cast on Nauset with my rod, my reel my lure gets a fifty three pounder. Sure there is skill but there is a lot of luck to it too. Don't get yerself in a quandry like I did. Slow down and enjoy it for what it really is supposed to be. Fun.  |
Why even try.........

BB stuff happens, that's all part of the game. But thumbing a bluefish, ouuuuuch!! Catching isn't hard after you put some time in and figure out the when and wheres' I've been fishing some nights with my head turned away from the water to watch the sunset or moon rise not even caring about fish. Being out there enjoying mother nature is way more important than catching fish.
Happy B-day Flap!!!

You haven't had a reel problem 'til you can't get the hook out.
Of your hand!

Don't feel bad...Just this morning I got up at 3, drove about 90 miles to fish, got all geared up, walked out to where I wanted to fish....and noticed that my rod was busted at the tip. Its 5:00 in the morning and I'm watching guys catching...and I have to wait until a B&T opened up at 8 to get it fixed....DOHHH!!!
By the Time I got it fixed the Bite was dead and all I managed was a couple of schoolies.

Dont worry BB, before you know it you'll be tying knots in the dark by FEEL instead of SIGHT, but as far as forgetting things...well I think that will only get worse with age  sorry.... |
