I'm going through the same phase, Fred. It'll pass and the bug will bite again. This year has been a tough one for me, and made me re-order my life to prioritize what's really important. Fishing isn't the be-all and end-all of my existence any more.

But--even though I've taken up cycling for exercise and fun, I still haven't taken the baskets off my bike.

Felt that way last year and didn't fish much.
It's so different now with all the crowds, takes the fun out of it.

I did get a truck pass this year though as I love to take my
4yr old grandsons. Last few years I have been driving down get there
around 3 and fish to dark during the week. Love the ocean, oil on
the water, dunes, and sunsets.

You will be back, Fred.

Thier is a lot to be said for sitting on a friendly rock at sunrise on a slow catching day. Can't be beat. Its priceless as a matter of fact.

It's not that I don't like being out doors, in fact the last time I took my yak out, I just took pictures. Had two rods behind me and didn't touch them at all. Just enjoyed the water and scenery..
