Fongster,

Reminds me of a time I was walking the beach in Oceanside several years ago with an old girlfriend. Came across a guy that was fishing the surf in real miserable conditions. Bad weather and on top of that , The Army Corps of Engineers were dreging the channel entrance to Oceanside Harbor so the water was a real mess.

I approaced him and asked if he was having any luck. He glared back at me and replied, " Are you kidding? No self respecting fish would be caught dead within a mile of this place!" I pried a bit and asked him where he thought they might be. His reply was, " I don't know, but they have to stay in the water whether they like it or not!"

I often wondered why he choose to continue fishing there that winter afternoon. :7
