Putting in some time...

All the midnight oil your burning pays off. Any sharks bumping your kayak in the dark, lately Jim?

The El Niño Oprah Special is definitely over. No more freebies.

I'm agreeing on the freebies...they're long gone. I know I'm hard when fishing w others although I have a faithful few dudes who put in the time...its just hard when I get my one fish op a week and sometimes feel like a guide under pressure. Heavy current, seals, etc...quickly chases most away from the night thing. All good.

Mark-man, can't be thinking too much abt that but there are times when I say wtf am I doing out here...by myself...with a mirage drive constantly swishing back and forth in the dark. I'm pretty sure I saw taxman tail out on me at dusk not too long ago but I'm glad I didn't i.d. it, all the way. Like brotha Mako Roberto says...we get one shot at this life thing. I've raised my girls to my fullest with no regrets and it's been get back to fishing hard time for me. I never caught enough wsb or butt when I had the boat so I'm going to hit it hard on the plastic and see what I can do. Thanks all, Jim

It's like the dude I met last week at the launch. He was coming in as I was getting ready at first light. I asked him if he had any luck and was he out there for WSB. He said no he had just been out there for about half an hour and had seen a couple of lighting strikes and that was enough. I told him I didn't see any and I was going out anyway. If one hits you at least you were doing what you liked. Most people don't get to say that when the time comes. It's out of our control. Tight Lines Jim.
