You make my point! nicely stated...Your outlook is a mature one and you enjoy fishing for the reasons you mention...Thats the best reason to keep going..But the "panic" of the tone in most people posts as to when its over is childish..Everyone fishes for different reasons..but at some point its just time to drive away and call it quits...I am in no way saying the season is over...there is certainly time left to hang a nice bass..what I am saying is ....who the %$%$%$%$ Cares...just fish for as long as you want to

My goal every season is this: To enjoy and appreciate every moment, day and night, out. Each and every one is a wonder if you're paying attention. And to be there when the last of the gannets chase the last school South, praying that I'll be here when they return. That's it. Everything else is a bonus. The end of the Season is a hugely melancholy time for me...
