I do not wait for people. If I say the boat leaves the dock at 5:15 am, the boat leaves at 5:15 if they are there or not. It’s my boat and it’s my way or the highway

Right on Dingbat! I dont get as much time on water as I would like, dont waste it!

How one reacts to any particular incident is a sign of their character, albeit excitement over a catch or touch down from a favorite team to drinking their favorite beverage...or winning or losing an argument. My tagline from Thoreau--Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after-- says it all and can transcend any activity.

Half the fun of fishing is the "toys" associated with it. I'm def not one of those guys who gets THAT into it, though. I just like a nice rod/reel and a few of my fav lures. I, for one... don't get into moon phases, $1000 fishfinders, and $40k species specific boats , and some of the other craziness.

Some guys that spend hours in the bait shop and talk about fishing 24/7....just like the comraderie as much as the fishing itself. Nothing wrong with that.

Well... if you have to visit a pharmacy to get rid of them, I can see her point.

:p

Okay old joke. I enjoyed the times I went crabbing, heck my dad taught me how to catch crabs. lol

Yes, very well said indeed. I envy you JB. You lived where my essence was as a boy trapped in the bowels of DC.
