Much like me, you were the proverbial Charlie Brown waiting for the great pumpkin this fall...and he never showed.

As for the "guide" comment, I need a good guide in order to have a shot at catching something decent. I have no problem admitting it.

This is the reason I typically turn down all your "guide" offers...you simply don't produce for me...

I will say it again.I AM NOT BASING THIS ON MY EXPERIENCES.But I have friends who also have friends that are fishing what are historically productive areas.Valiant,the race,BI....they simply could not stay on the fish.Never mind my barren pumpkin patch.I think this qualifies as the big picture.Read the words instead of interpreting them.This is not a fall run observation either,rather a compilation of data going back a handful of years.To me, words like decline and subpar will eventually equal trouble,it's simple math.And stop Flaptailing us with old comm stories on the backside.
