close your eyes... picture the fish taking the lure. Imagine the fight. See yourself landing the fish and unhooking it. Imagine yourself releasing it and watching it swim away. If you follow my instructions you will at least get your 20lber before the weekends over.
But you are welcome up my way. Doc and I had fish from the surf at dusk.....
“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.
do you have any idea how long between trips it took me to get anything over 20 pounds?
just go fish
maybe the fish are there but want rubber or someone elses' wood or something slimy or god forbid a jig
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
finally do an eelskin swimmer and a needle, I can even help you with a couple skins
it's been a couple hours now, go fish

If you are going to imagine a fish, why not imagine a 50?
Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
Bigfish...never mind the words of encouragement...lets go fishing. Cant take you to my favorite spot but will take you to my second. Blind fold needed though.
In all seriousness.......Just relax and they will come. Sometimes when we put so much pressure on ourselves to catch that we forget about:
A) Spending quality time with friends fishing
B) Enjoying the outdoors (even at 3am its still nice)
C) That we have a stock of large stripers (for now anyway) to TRY to catch
D) That we have a choice to wake up and fish, unlike my good fishing partner and best friend who is spending the next year in the mountains of Afghanistan and would love to go out and to the shore and not catch anything, but just to be there.
E) That we have the physical and mental capacity to walk,cast and catch fish.
When I start to think my mo-jo is gone I just think of the things that we take for granted,enjoy them and take what comes to me. Think this way and before you know it the other end of you fishing line will yield what your looking for. I promise.

Thanks SH3 but I already live my life that way! I am a "smell the roses" kind of guy and need no reminding of how fortunate I am.......but is it too much to ask to catch a decent fish once in awhile?!?!?!?!/
Its never too much to ask....try between Marshfield and the canal. Im sure there is a few to be had.
Glad you live you life this way. I often encounter folks who do not and often forget how lucky we are. Didnt have you pegged as one of them just trying to give you motivation...its works for me everytime!
LARRY, I know why you LOST your MOJO. after reading what you did. MAKNING me an outhers look at that post of BOBS 49er, you will understand why you LOST IT. NOW be nice for 24 hours, an you can have your MOJO BACK. starting 3:30 today till SUNDAY 3:30, Then you can have it back, DEAL---> if NOT it's going to be a LONG COLD WINTER
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN
P.S. you also have to send me that plug
Just remember you only live once. Go out more to enjoy the fishing part and catching just a bonus part. I know your not going out to impress anyone so just go and enjoy your surroundings and enjoy yourself. The fish will come.

Larry, did you try this? honestly it works. Even just typing works. I bet you didn't try it and that's why you still haven't found the mojo.
