Hey Bill,
I can really agree with your "comments". I have been trying to get in 200 days of fishing this year and I'm pretty damn close this year. I'm at 189 days, but now the other end of the spectrum. I've only had around 32 days of catching. But I enjoy every day I can get on the water whether it be 1 hour or 3 hours. Fish or no fish. Now that the fall weather is here, I'll be hitting the O'Neill Forebay for the stripers. They have been doing pretty good with alot of boils on the surface. But getting old with old knees, you can't cover a lot of water. I'm thinking about getting my pontoon boat out and put it together. It's a Fish Cat 10'er.
But I always look forward to my Baja trips and this year was no exception. Especially catching the marlin on a fly, casting to the fish 10' from the boat. I will soon be retiring from work (sportsman's warehouse) so that should give me more time on the water.
