Going back into the surf this Fall in RI has reminded me why I bought a boat. What a miserable Fall run. If it wasn't for the Canal I would be depressed but I have done decent for a newbie in "The Ditch".

While on the subject, I must say that I have been humbled by that stretch of water. 40 years chasing bass and a month working the Ditch has convinced me that I don't know squat. Especially when Tony O amd Mike L are slamming muliple 30# fish night in and night out. My objective for next Fall is to start earlier and learn the secrets of the Canal.

No boat, back in the suds.

What Piemma said

So far this Fall I've done squat - I couldn't hit a cow in the a$$ with a bullrake, the way it's been going.

Been to the best spots at the right times...nothin'

Zero, zilch, nonca, nada...

My mojo's busted, I think, whatever I had of it - ya know, Habs used to call me up and say "Hey Crappy - Crappy Angler - it's Habs!"

I dunno - maybe he was on to something

Beats me...but I ain't quitting yet....it's not over til I say it's over...but it's 4th quarter and I'm down by 20.

We'll see, I guess

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
