Having read several books that talk about the subject, and even fooling myself into thinking I understood a few pages, I can only wonder what kind of secret geek weed these guys smoke to think of this stuff.

Dear Spence, if you dont fish, why do you spend so much time on a fishing website?

"Don't" isn't an accurate statement.

I've fished quite a bit, and plan to fish more in the future. A "don't" at this time indicates a fixed sample rate which is impossible considering you don't know the future.

I think "dont" implies present tense, not past or future. For example, If I asked if you have a dollar I can borrow, and at the current time, you do not have one. You would reply, "I don't" Its irrelevant if you had money before or plan to have it another day.
I also think "fish" means an ongoing activity, passion or pursuit. Fish, to me, does not mean "going fishing", theres a big difference.
This is the last question I ask, this thread is dull.

He is living his life vicariously through those who do.

He could live his life vicariously through me who is typing this from his 5th different Marriott Courtyard in 9 days. Norfolk VA right now.

"Present tense" would be "Spence isn't fishing."

You know I have fished as you've taken me out on the S.S. Eelslime

Granted, my fishing has slowed to a halt, but there are legitimate reasons and I don't plan for the hiatus to be permanent. If this wasn't the case I wouldn't still have a wall full of plugs, 1/2 dozen rods etc... (including a plug display I still have to photograph

)

If by "fish" you mean some die hard surfcasting (opps, forgot you're a boat guy) lifestyle where one sacrifices many things in the reckless persuit of fish...then no, I don't think I fish.

If you were Barack Obama for one full day, what would you do with your presidential power?

Hey Spence,

Is it true that you can catch crabs from sitting on a public toilet seat? I always cover the seat with paper, but I have to assume they can rip through the paper and hop a ride.

I ask because after my trip to Vegas, I had crabs, even though the hooker assured me she was clean. I figured it had to be from a toilet seat then.

If you get crabs, and apply some "Old Bay", will that make them go away?

If a hen and a half laid an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a grasshopper with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

The most logical answer is that "she" was a "he" and yes, "he" did catch them from a toilet seat.

I doubt "he" got them in Vegas though, they keep things pretty clean in those parts. It's good for the family business.
