Yeah, I guess it is starting to seem like the return for effort on the average fishing trip around here is pretty low. So I don't make the effort I used to. I used to think that the better and better I got at fishing (personal progression in the sport), that I would catch more and more fish. But, because of factors that are for the most part out of our hands, my ability to actually catch fish has declined.

Even though I know exactly where/when to be on my home waters for the greatest return, I still do not have the kind of success I used to. I know there are still chances for double digit days out there, and I will probably have another one sometime, but I don't get the vibe nearly as much as I did before.

So in turn I am changing my core hobbies, but I will always fish and hunt.
