Not shooting the messengers here, but I swear 3/4 of the threads lately have been depressing. It’s good to know I suppose.
I just find fishing hard enough with knowing tides, currents, depths what lures what flashers, how long of leaders, what speed, what time of day and where the heck in the massive ocean to fish... now we are battling, seals, sea lions, whales, global warming, pollution, fish farm disease and the government regulations. And I’m sure there’s more... I’d rather just be blissfully unaware and believe I’m actually going to catch a 30 pounder one day!
