If you are going to imagine a fish, why not imagine a 50?

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?!?!?!?!/

Striper_Haven_03 · 10-08-2010, 05:39 PM

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!

Fish each and every yesterday. Then you'll be there when you should have been there rathar than hearing that you "shoulda been here yesterday".

WESTPORTMAFIA · 10-09-2010, 07:10 PM

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.

I no tell a guy what size fish to imagine. I tell a guy to imagine catching a fish to get mojo back.
