LOL..... I hear ya Dave. Good to see you are still lurking around the FNN. The Man ...the Myth...The IRVINE legend
Unfortunately (If you want to look at it that way) Some of us have kids here and that thing called a career/job so fishing becomes something we do to just unwind.
Not to mention the fishing in the good ol Pacific I'm sure far out weighs the land locked version. Unless you can catch big yellowtail, white seabass, halibut and tuna from a stream or lake.
As we say here in Cali...If ya want to play ya gotta PAY!
