I think a little of all of the above. I think FB has taken a lot away from here. The "other sites" dont even phase me and I never go there because I fell like this is my home. I havent been to any of the gatherings in many years because life and work consume too uch of my time. Fact is I dont fish the salt much at all anymore because I simply dont have the time, gas money or energy left at the end of the week. I still feel like I can fish the salt "vicariously" because of this site. Pathetic I know but it's true. I dont have the luxury of living 5 minutes from the coast so if I want to fish spontaneously I fish the freshwater. Just dont have it in me to drive 2-4 hours after work on a friday night to fish all night and "paying for it" the next day "costs" more on the body than it used too.

I used to enjoy the get togethers back in the early days and lets face it I felt more comfortable because it was a smaller group and I felt like even those I never met were like friends I had yet to meet rather than strangers from the internet.

I have to sum up my own feelings on this subject as less fishing, less time, getting older and times a changing.

Besides know one wants to fish with me anymore after the reputation I got from fishing with Clammer, the rumors and the black and blues lasted for weeks Now he sasses me online because he thinks I dont love him anymore, which couldnt be farther from the truth. The truth is "it's me, not you"! I need to find a way to get my (fishing) life back!
