You Never Know How Much Fishing Helps........

There is nothing else in the world when I am on the water. There is no drink or drug that will do that for you. Well, not that I have tried anyway.

So true! There is something about the water that makes it all better. :-)

Not to mention the thrill of that big hit right before I set the hook.

You all play a pivotal role in it as well. I don't know you all personally but here at BR it feels like a fishing family. Good to see the posts and get a laugh here and there while learning a bunch too.

Boss asked me to work a few hours today....lame but as soon as I'm done I'm hitting the water for some fishin therapy.

I've always used fishing and riding motorcycles as my stress relievers. I got canned recently for taking off a week from a bad case of the flu. Got better, got out fishing a few times while I have some downtime, and landed a better job. Usually it all works out...

My situation was similar hooligan. Being on the water cleared my mind and I felt refreshed when I got back home. Glad your situation got better also. ;-)

Fishing forces me to relax.  Usually when I hit the water, I'm fishing "angry".  Tense, inaccurate, trying to throw lure too far, reeling too fast, etc.  After a few backlashes and no bites, I start slowing down and focusing.  Casting gets a lot smoother....retrieval speeds slow down...start catching fish.....and all the thoughts about work or whatever seem to just go away.  At least for awhile.  I will never make a living fishing but I sure as hell can make a life doing it.

Glad to hear everything is better for you buddy, GOD works in mysteries ways.  I would say fishing was a contorting factor to turning my life around and in the end saving me..... GOD BLESS
