About the same amount of time but it's distributed differently. I've learned that more trips for smaller amounts of time actually disrupt my life (and the other half) less than doing a couple all nighters every week. I'm sure there will be more all nighters if the fishing starts picking up for me but so far that's what I've been doing.

Way off - between being pretty busy and the bride's schedule I've done less than 20% of what I did last year

About the same. But the results have been poor. Even waxed the SUV and the wife's cars to make them slip through the air easier to get better gas mileage , plus wife is happier in cleaner, shinier car, which means more leash for me.

I have been trying to go to the Canal and focus on that to a degree, but I am frustrated with the lack of success and feel like a complete moron. I went up to Plum Island last night and fished the riverside. One fish for the efforts from 8:30 to 10:45pm and about $30 gas. Worse than the bugs was the invasion of teenage kids that like to light fires along the stretch of river I was fishing and then come down to talk and wade next to me while fishing.

Can't give up though - before I know it it will be November and I will be kicking myself if I did not make an effort to get out there and improve and at least try and catch some fish.

I have been fishing more and catching more small bass than I can remember. It could be that I am pluggin alot more than I used to. I have probably have about 5-6 keeper size bass so far this year all caught on eels.
