I second the camera. Sorta. 2 years ago i brought it all the time and had a lot of nice pics. This year started bringing it and it wasnt pretty. So i didnt take it anymore. Oh yeah, the rest of the season sucked too. Maybe it wasnt the camera afterall. Its not really a superstition but i never fish the first eel i grab from the bucket. Always search for another one that isnt so easy to catch.

Everything is better on the rocks.

I hate when someone starts spouting how great we're going to do ... might as well turn around and go home right then ..

I gotta admit I've become obsessed with the first cast curse. It's happened to me so many times that I find myself reeling in too fast or casting in the wrong place or doing something wrong the first cast just so I don't catch a fish on the first cast of the night! problem is, I know I could be screwing myself since the first cast is such a high percentage one. I don't take it too far though, just the first cast of the night, not like the first cast at a new spot or anything like that.
