[#0000FF]Yeah, okay, all right. Some of us complain about poor fishing...especially when we remember (if we still can) some of the better trips we've had on the same waters. But some of us would complain if we had nothing to complain about.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Bottom line is that fishing is always good...even if the catching ain't. And if fishing success was measured strictly by the amount of dead fish you could keep in your freezer until you throw it out from freezer burn... Well, it ain't that either. For a lot of us who have reached "geezerdom" fishing is an assertion that we still got what it takes to play the game and still stay on this side of the grass. The fish we catch are just bonus tokens handed out by the deities of the lakes to reward us for playing the game.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Ya gotta feel sorry for all the young anglers out there. Most of them have not yet learned that fishing is not a destination (catching fish), but a lifetime journey...including the sum total of all the sensory experiences you can enjoy on every trip. I do not smell skunk often, but when I do I have become pretty good at rationalizing the positive aspects of the trip. After all, complaining don't get much sympathy from your spouse or other fisherfolk.
