Steve,
We all get burned out from time to time, years and years of whacky hours take their toll... part of the problem is dealing with the crowds... you get to a point where catching one more fish just isnt worth the aggrivation to stand elbow to elbow to catch it... as soon as the easy fishing is done and the warm breezes blow, the urge to find a quiet spot to be alone with the fish will return... then old feelings will return and some how loosing a little sleep just wont seem all that bad.... I've been there too!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Dear Steve,

You obviously need something to motivate you. Why not take a newbie or two fishing for a couple of months and teach them how to fish. Maybe you are just bored with the fishing scene here in the Northeast, it seems to me like you have seen and done it all up here, and done it successfully too. Maybe a vacation to a far off place with your wife, and maybe find some new fishing adventures there. I hope you feel better soon.

PS: Before you know it StiffTipp will have you all over the earth and back catching Tuna and this thread will seem like a distant memory

Bent Rods and Screaming Reels!

I dunno, Flap - sounds like you've finally come to the point in age where you're not sure what you want...or why...

It happens, at a certain point your life starts to shift gears...and you won't figure it out 'til you come out the other side - where ever that may be for you.

Old age is the only totally unexpected thing that will ever happen to a man - make the most of it and start living like you mean it

The point of the whole trip, as we used to say in the '60's, is to get back to where you started and truly understand it for the first time.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
