I felt more rejection than a telemarketer.

I only have gotten serious about fishing since getting laid off Sept. 4. Since then I have fished almost every day or night. I have only landed 4 bluefish and 1 bass. the last one was about 3 weeks ago. I have spent a good chunk of my unemployment checks on the next "magic" plug. I will keep fishing until I lose every plug and my unemployment runs out. My wife thinks I am an idiot.

Fall Run in Buzzards Bay

Still some decent stripers to be had in the bay.
Last nights efforts produced a 23# and 24#, both on eels, both released unharmed.
Just started using cirlce hooks again and they worked great!

This hurts. I'm standing on the other side of the bay looking across at you and I can't even find a dink. Knowing you're getting them gives me hope, however.
