    I quit doing the surf at 50 . I spent a day bombing away in 6+ foot slop , and did OK as far as Fish count went . As the session dragged on , I found myself getting more and more angry ..... couldn't really sort why ? Thought long and hard that Night - came to the conclusion that , while I could still physically do it .... it wasn't fun anymore .

    I'll stick to Kayaking to my Mangrove spots , and getting out to wade .

    Even over on our Pacific coast you can get beat up by the bigger waves when you are not paying attention.



    Today, retired in Florida, we look at the weather, Monday through Friday, looking for the days with low wind, like 10 mph.

    It is no fun going out in a boat, fly fishing, in wind that is 15 mph plus.


    Lots of those who are working have to go out on the weekends and holidays with many other anglers and take what they get.
