That's called being efficient.

3 - 5 trips per week from April through November is about right for me. It gets harder and harder each year between work, the mortgage, family life, living over an hour form the closest saltwater, etc... When I was younger and still living with my mom, I had seasons fishing 6 - 7 nights a week plus working a full time job and somehow finding time for school. Those were good times, but I get so much out of my family these days it more than offsets less time spent on the water.

Hey, the internet is a powerful thing. There's really no need to fish every night. I'm currently developing a computer program that will accept all kinds of input like wind, tide, location, moon phase, target species etc. Once that data is entered you simply connect to any fishing site's reports section and let the software do the rest. The end result is you’ll spend all of your time catching and will only need to be on the water, get this, ONE night per week. It will tell you exactly when, where, and how at the push of a button. You can even choose between small and large fish too. The plug fishermen are going to love it.

I'm going to need some beta testers, any volunteers?

This sounds great Mike. Let me know when this is up and running. I'll surely get the handicap into single digits when you roll this out.

i average three trips a day.. catch both highs and then a low. with a nap between. though sometimes it just turns into a 16 hour marathon.. i really need to find a real job..

I'm going to call it "Guaranteed Surf 50 in an hour" by Back Beach technologies. Its easier than turbo tax.

Everybody's jealous of somebody, Bryan/ RIR...


I thought I was doing good last Fall with my # 33 on Darter from M. surf on approx. Oct. 15th... 'till I heard later you did 2 (3?) better in a "slow" S. County Fall!

I was getting out about 3 times a week may and june, less rest of the summer as the fish are a longer drive. This year with a 2 1/2 yo and new born, I am guessing it will be less

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
