I've been working LONG days, 6-7 days a week, and have wet a line ONCE since Cuttyhunk. Yet again %^%#%@ work has killed what could have been a decent June.
Well, Cap - I know the feeling...

I've gotta admit that the pix of all the cows from a lot of guys at S-B had me flummoxed -

On the other hand, after reading the feedback in this thread I don't feel quite as bad - sounds like Work and Responsibility done reared they ugly heads.

For me, I got fish in June, no wall-hangers but fish - and some fish is still better than no fish - they were pretty frickin' fussy at my usual haunts with lots of sand eels around but still picked away at 'em

Maybe we all oughta just go on a solidarity strike and demand less work and more quality time

At 60 I guess I oughta be happy to be able to go rock hopping at all...and I am

Took my brother in law out on the rocks for Surfcasting 101 while he was out here for his 50th - put him in waders stuck some Korkers on him and off we went....

Took him to a sandy kiddie spot the 1st nite, then took him for The Long Walk the 2nd...(remember, John?)

In his thank you note to us he wrote:

1 - You're an adrenaline junkie
2 - You're n#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&' futs on the rocks in those conditions
3 - Maybe 60 is the new 30....

Anyway, happy to be doing it, it's the Zen aspect for me anyway now - and the occasional fish is a real nice touch - big, small or in-between, don't matter but I'll take large if I can

Damn, I think I'm starting to sound like Clammer...

Thanks, Cap...

It was a while ago....but it seems like it was only yesterday...

Hey, BTW, I'm almost caught up on my must-do list......and I'm gonna start to work on my waaay overdue owe yas - - so I'll be in touch

I'll PM ya and we can either hit the Blooberry Factory or take The Long Walk - whatever works best...
