You know you have a fishing problem when...

This makes me happy and bummed out at the same time. You seem like you have a lot of years put into it. For the 2nd sentence above I would ask you if tomorrow they told you that you had cancer, would you take any of your fishing days back, or would you be glad you went. my answer is I would be glad I spent the time fishing when i could.

I wouldn't take any of those days back, some great memories were made then, and are played in my mind over and over again. But we all have certain obligations that we are commited to and they should never be blown off, for any reason. I'm talking about taking those days back.

The key words in your post are, "when I could". They were never in my vocabulary, I just went.

The addiction was/is strong, but now the walks are chosen more carefully and hopefully more productive. The thrill never goes away for me.

When you go out for a fun weekend evening, to the movies or something like that. You tell your girlfriend to get in your car, and you will drive. She gets in, takes one whiff, and says "Honey let's take my car for tonight". :

Eau de bunker or rotting clams, it's the latest fragrance.

When you have multiples of all your lures.

X2, and when you have enough rods and reels you wonder how you managed to accumulate them all when most surf fishermen 50 years ago had 2 or 3 basic setups for everything that swam in the wash.

When You go directly from fishing to work in the morning. Even though you changed your clothes your co-workers keep saying "who brought fish for lunch?"

I love this thread, you should make it part of the "best of" of S&A.

Doesn't love mean never having to say you're sorry? He apparently loves you enough to spend that time. Think of it as "quality time in the rain"



Here's mine - when you find yourself every month printing out the tide tables for all the bridges, inlets, and rips within 75 miles of your area, that might be a fishing problem.

[baitstealer]

When you are stuck at work on a rainy day and you are checking all the fishing reports on all the sites hoping they are finally catching something!

[jigfreak]

When you go out at night, even with few prospects, just because you are hungering for that big fish. Keeps us coming back.
