What I want to know is:

Do you mostly fish sand or rocky coastline and why?
Rocky coast for the most part because near me I have lots more rocks than beach, and the rocks are more productive in my area ...

What length rod do you prefer for the type of fishing you do and why?

9-10 - can do almost anything I need in that size

Do you prefer to roll your own rods, have them custom made or by ready made brands?
Make own, have freinds sometimes wrap the guides on their power wrapper (saves time - thanks Dave and Tony )

What reel type and size, conventional or spinning?
Conventional 6500 Abu/ 400 Calcutta / 975 Penn - Spinning 6500 Y Nautil, ZB (thanks folks ), VS 250

Do you prefer to throw bait (eels, chunks, liveys) or plug fish mostly?
Eels & Plugs 70 / 30 - each has a time & place

What gear you feel essential, other than rod and reel, to be successful? Essential & Safe: Korkers, waders, drytop, 2 lights,2 pliers, lip grip on occasion... Too much crap

What time of year, for your locale has been the kindest to you in your search for the big one?

Jine or late September

Do you feel satisfied upon the end of a nights struggle with whatever you take or do you feel only big bass caught make tyhe effort worth it?

Both, target large, happy with smaller - 'cept for Blues

Do you ever think it's getting old and maybe it's time to find a new pastime? Nope - do you?

Nautil is best kept secret canal jiggers gave a bad name to .. Love the outdoors .. Can't afford a shrink .I need fishing, it don't need me . Its never mindless ,, infact its the largest puzzle ...Nobody has it all figured out or can predict one year to the next ..
