Summer tests you

This is a such a great post, I think we all lose perspective at one time or another and this helps to bring it back.
Since I have been so busy with earning a masters degree the last three years while still working full time, and then starting a family in the middle of it, my time on the water over this time has really been about just enjoying getting out and letting it happen.. ..it's really been great for putting things in perspective for me, fish or no fish every moment out there is precious and sometimes I think its easy to forgot how lucky we are to be able to get out and enjoy what we have.

awesome post!... it sums up how i start to feel around this time of year when a skunking can take the place of a good night. i printed this and stuck it in my fishing log as a bookmark to remind myself of why i do it... thanks!!

Excellent post George

Some of my most memorable nights are when the fishing has been slow. Everyone wants to hear a screaming drag, fish a blitz, or land a 50, but solotude, a bright full moon shining on my face, shooting stars, the sounds that come from deep in the marsh, and the the sound of the surf curling up the beach; these are the things I truly miss in the off season. I just tend to notice them more when the fishing is slow.
