Cows and a few bites vs schoolies and numbers

[JeffH]

Got to agree with the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& here. I'll be 41 in Sept and although I've slowed down somewhat,
mostly because of increased responsibilities, I prefer the darkness of night and big fish. I've
never been a schoolie fisherman and never will be. I don't make a 1-1/2 to 2 hr drive to
Rhode Island to catch a bunch of 24" fish and don't consider it a good trip if I do. I also
much prefer to go alone, there is nothing better in my book than the take, hookup, fight and
release of a 30lb striper at 2am with nobody else there. Darkness to me is everything the
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& descibes solitude, hope and excitement at the same time. It's funny how even when
I fish with the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& or other friends we all still seem to spread out to have our own space.
