My problem with it is in my neck of the woods is so dang poor anymore that its getting to the point its not worth going out unless you just want a boat ride. I'm talking more about inshore trout and redfish etc, but the offshore is also subject to so many creel and size limits that you throw back more than you can keep. I like to catch fish but man do I like to eat them and I hate having to throw back good eating sized fish........although I realize that because everyone from Ohio somehow managed to move to Coastal Georgia and the SC lowcountry in the last two decades there are not enough fish for everyone to catch and keep like we did when I was a boy. I do miss the "good old days" though. Me and Dad would pack the freezer!
All that said, I'm going tomorrow to see what I can do. Hope springs eternal and I like a boat ride!
Pond fishing? Ain't nothing wrong with it whatsoever. If you have access to a good one, much fun and good eating can be had!

Seen some snotty conditions. Buddy got the windshield knocked out of his 28' Albermarle off Virginia Beach. It's tough to go back to a trout stream or fishing bass on a lake after fishing saltwater though I do it. Two totally different experiences though.

I do enjoy the serenity of fresh water, but being on the ocean is a totally different experience and the fishing is a real adventure. I need to do it again a few times before I die.

Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.

Decades ago I helped a guy deliver a couple yachts from Fort Lauderdale to the Panama Canal. While we were waiting in Key West for the weather to turn just right, a sportfishing yacht of about 60' came in from the west with its windshield bashed out and the interior destroyed.

eveytime you run out, there are no guarantees you will make it back in. This is no joke. I’ve spent the night in the water twice. There comes a moment when you realize the boat isn’t going to make it. Really bad feeling. Luckily I was picked up right after dawn both times.

I worked on ocean going tugs for 30 years, on one boat was a brass plate with the words. “Oh God I am so great and my boat is so small” Sarcasm at its best. Ronnie

When it comes to offshore fishing and engines, it takes 2 to go to sea.

When it comes to offshore fishing and engines, it takes 2 to go to sea. Ran single engine boats most of the time offshore. Too expensive to maintain and feed twins when you are trying to make a living at it. You never turn the motor off offshore. It’s rare for a motor to just quit while running but they fail to start plenty. Heat cycle is what kills things. Working commercial offshore you keep in contact with your fellow fisherman. I’ve towed and been towed paying it forward or paying it back.
