Fishing was awesome, at first but a finger that doesnt move all the way now and getting mugged ruined it.

my other worse was almost getting ht by a private boat and a party boat in the same day skishing. last time ive been in during the day hours

Do you legally need a dive flag do go skishing?

No but not a bad idea.

My low lights

Watching fish break directly across from me too many times at the canal.

Dragging Sax out to Woodend for a perfect dropping tide with perfect wind. To catch 1 16" fish. Just a bit of a hike. I destroyed a pair of waders and my leg on the way back too.

Finding this guy gone from his normal spot at the canal.
Missing (because of procrastination and fishing) the chance to say goodbye to him.
Realizing he was the main reason I'd even fish the place.
RIP Skip.

Three rounds of cellulitis in my left leg. (July, Sept and Nov.)
Latest was last week, spending 5 days in IV antibiotics in the hospital.
Let's say it that it has me worried if it will happen again.

in CT lost a Beachmaster 40 on a Lobster Pot line. A pain in the butt even to break off when you get the slack and start dragging the pot towards you. Then moved and an hour later lost a Bassmaster needle - one of my favorites- on another lobster pot. Was so pissed-Never pots there before.

Went back 2 days later and plugs gone. That sucked.

need to try wetsuiting so I can swim to Lobster pots.

Alan just told me this last week. Met him probably 20 years ago and enjoyed our conversations over the years when I would run into him on canal. Great stories about days gone by fishing the canal. Such an enjoyable gentleman. RIP.

my best day this year could also be considered the worst. One day in june got some monsters, but deffinately lost my biggest fish of the year mid afternoon... my arms already felt like noodles, and I Didnt have a chance in hell of stopping this fish just kept going ZZZZZZZZZZ and finally came off. brought back a siwash on a super strike polaris that was bent 45 degrees out. I think about it at least once a day lol
