I love this time of year. My expectations are low and each trip becomes a gift to myself. Each fish takes on special value, almost like a friend. Alone in the clear crisp November darkness, watching that last good fish right itself and slide slowly out of my hands back into the night, I feel connected to something wonderful, and grateful to be alive.

I agree with George I love this time of the year. The way the sun lights the water and the crisp blue sky's. I spent the whole day Fri. on the water in Vineyard Sound and didn't see a fish or another boat and it was fantastic. I get kind of reborn after fishing all summer I get a second wind this time of the year like a whole new season is under way. I have already got my personal best and don't expect to better it, caught in the fall. I just like the quiet times on the water and the thought that you can get a large fish if you are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. Also the thought of no fishing for several months is motivation too.

You make my point! nicely stated...Your outlook is a mature one and you enjoy fishing for the reasons you mention...Thats the best reason to keep going..But the "panic" of the tone in most people posts as to when its over is childish..Everyone fishes for different reasons..but at some point its just time to drive away and call it quits...I am in no way saying the season is over...there is certainly time left to hang a nice bass..what I am saying is ....who the %$%$%$%$ Cares...just fish for as long as you want to |

My goal every season is this: To enjoy and appreciate every moment, day and night, out. Each and every one is a wonder if you're paying attention. And to be there when the last of the gannets chase the last school South, praying that I'll be here when they return. That's it. Everything else is a bonus. The end of the Season is a hugely melancholy time for me...
