Horrified!!!!!

[ProfessorM]

Sorry I missed you this morning George but I think I was on the other side and I was too late.

Steve once you get out in your tin during the weekday at your favorite spot and no one else is around, well maybe some dip %$%$%$%$ fishing a spook and laughing, and the fish are cooperative I think you will be fine. You know how relaxing it is out there floating along.
I actually had fun at the canal the last couple days and I didn't catch squat among all the guys catching large fish. It was just nice to put the tin boat away and do something different. Too much of a good thing gets old fast for me nowadays. So I'll look for a tall lanky guy in a small boat on Monday morning, June 1st.

Same thing here, Flap. So far I have a grand total of 20 minutes flipping plugs. I know that I'm missing some prime time but I don't give a rat's patoot. Of course the wisdom tooth that's kicking my ass might have something to do with my bout of malaise...

Steve,
I'm feeling the same way the last few seasons and I'm sure age/experience has much to do with it. It seems I have that "Been there, done that"; "I really do have a life" attitude. Maybe because I've grown to appreciate just the atmosphere of getting out and enjoying what I like to do with no pressure. I guess it's all relative when you consider everything else that life throws at you.

On occasion I still get the "pangs" to get out and help educate Roccus on what not to strike, be it plug or eel. Then I go out, release a few, and I'm whole again.

Enjoy life's changes.

Horrified ??? what are you horrified of? that you are bored, unmotivated? So What! Just get the hell going and pick yourself up and go, once you get out and have fun you'll feel better. Try some new places, some other challenges, go fish for salmon with stifftip if that's what it takes to get your blood flowing again. It can't be all that bad Flap. See you out there Sat. AM or sooner. Turn a new howdy and try it out , that'll work. If you need a kick in the arse, my size 14's can get that done

I have been in a rut the last couple of years regarding fishing. I have come to realize that for me fishing is about the quality not the quantity of trips. I have come to balance the role fishing has is my life with other things that I like to do. There is definitely a feeling of been there done that at times and then I know that I need to take a break. One thing that I do enjoy is taking people who have never fished fishing. It readjusts my expectations about what fishing is all about.
