I feel the same despite absorbing my share of deet this am.
Two mornings ago I took two 30# class fish along with some high teen sized stuff while fishing the cape shore. Sensing opportunity I returned this am looking for a repeat which never came. Several small bluefish affirmed your statement 100%. Its always a hunt, never guaranteed.

Some of my best memories are from the nights when nothing ever took the bait. To catch is great but to share time with friends or the solitude of the surf with only yourself is truly a blessing. Those lonely nights under the dunes with the surf lapping up against the sloped sand and the wind whirling over your shoulder has a cleansing effect on ones mind and soul.
