Good advice Outlaw. I fish mostly from the bank myself or on docks as putting in a boat can be pain in arse when you can just pick up bucket with your tackle and wander around. Don't get me wrong when the boys call and want to get their boats out and want someone to help launch and fish with them I will go and we usually do well. but if not have learned to adjust and have always gotrdone with varying levels of success. It's just so easy and as you say you can't be ketchn from your home staring at the computer!
some guys wait till they get their boats out of storage about this time of year to start fishing while we have already put a whole lot of filets in the freezer or in the hands of folk who love to eat them. I will be putting mine in the slip this week.
