JRammit 440 Report post Posted November 26 Thats awesome!... im jealous My neighbor is retired, he has 4 broken down boats rotting in his yard... i asked him why he isnt fishing every day and he had the nerve to tell me he got tired of fishing.... im not easily offended, but that comment ate a hole in my soul.... i work 70 hours a week and im lucky if i can fish once a month while this guy sits on a gold mine of leisure time and hasnt wet a line in years........... but, nobody ever said life is fair.... my time will come some day.... hope you thoroughly enjoy yours Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhahn427 48 Report post Posted November 26 Just hope it doesn’t happen to you too. If I had an opportunity to fish on Saturday, I wouldn’t sleep from Wed to Saturday ........ be on the water before light and upset when the sun went down. About 15 years ago, I began to lose my passion for fishing so I decided to build everything I fished with. Well ....... I had a ball buying everything there is for building fishing rods and lures and learning how to build them. Now I have about everything there is for building them but I still don’t have the passion back. Don’t get me wrong, I still catch good fish but I still don’t have my passion back and IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRammit 440 Report post Posted November 26 The only time my passion for fishing wanes is when i pick up a new hobby.... like the summer before last i got interested in gardening, which was nice for two reasons, one always having fresh vegis around the house, and two finally a hobby i can share with the wife.... i didnt fish much that year, think i only went 3 times the whole year.... but at the end of this summer i finally got a real boat!.. so my mind is back on fishing non stop...... and if i ever do actually get tired of fishing, there is always another species to target to make it interesting again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhahn427 48 Report post Posted November 28 All I can say is Good Luck Brother. I sold 1 boat. Now I have 1 boat, 2 Yaks and a canoe along with every lure and equipment you can imagine and it still didn’t help. I even have custom made surf fly rods.
