Anyone else?
Can’t sleep even though you are tired, then often times go without sleep? spend a couple hours rearranging yor tackle before the trip next morning, plot you next day out on the water, while launching your boat. This really is a sickness. Having to buy new tackle all the time, even when you know you already have way more than enough? Overfulled tackle boxes that might need a bit of “help” closing from time to time? Gotta fish every inch of water, until you really, really have to get off the water (20 minutes ago). Rarely do I ever eat on a boat, rarely do I ever drink more than a couple ounces of water/pop. The whole prospect of a little from the GF, bothers you because it’s going to cut into the fishing time (not like that’s much of a problem, but still it crosses my mind). Time spendt preplanning and researching you species, and enviroments, lures tactics, finesse tactics. Fishing magazines? Yeah like you could narrow it down to 2 or three, right…. Lets not even talk about the live bait expense, Crawlers, minnows, leeches? Really what if you bough leeches and minnows were the hot bait…. Sure I have my confidence baits tactics and lures, But even if I’m catching fish I still need to switch it up until I find the hottest tactic in the box, which I normally find was the first tactic I used . What about all these new tactics you’ve read about gotta try them too right???
Yeah I’m no fish slayer by any means, I have my days once in a blue moon, Long ago the thrill was in the catching, I’m starting to think there is actually more thrill in the hunting, then catching, atleast on the everyday basis, not to say some really big fish ins’t more exciting. To me one of the best times for me, is when others can’t seem to buy a fish a I found them, then caught them all day, sometimes that’s just enough to make my day….
Man here I sit dreamin’ about fishing, maybe after 2pm…
