There are guys that just enjoy the most challenging aspects of any sport. They want to catch a fish using methods that not anybody can use to catch fish. It's not my bag, but that's what gives them the "fix" they need from fishing.

Some guys get the "fix" from elbowing in at Blue Creek and bagging a limit of 3-salt chromers among the throngs of other guys. Some guys get the "fix" by hiking their a$$ far from roads and getting into fish without seeing another angler. Some guys get it by using fly gear in cold, colored water in hopes of hooking a hog on fly gear.

Face it, we're all junkies, dammit. Get your fix however you can, because it's better than anything out there (at least anything I've tried laugh ) and you won't get arrested for catching your "fix". "Hi, I'm Dan and I'm a fishaholic." laugh laugh
