Quoted:




I remember pulling into my marina once after a week long Striped Bass Slay-athon and noticing there was a tournament checking in at the same time.  

I was toting the last striper to the cleaning station and waiting in line next to the passengers from the charter fishing boat that tied up at the same time.  They started ragging on me for having only one fish.  

Once I explained that he was just the latest addition to the freezerfull of fillets we'd collected over the past week on less than $20 worth of diesel............

Sailboats move all day at a perfect trolling speed without the engine running to scare the fish.
Sailboats can go all the way around the world between refueling stops.
Sailboats have their best days in weather that keeps the powerboaters at home wishing they could go out.  


There is nothing better than waking  up at anchor, already on your fishing grounds, making coffee, and then sitting back with Bob Marley bumping along while you fish and wait for the powerboat crowd to finally get everything set and show up.  


It ain't about the speed.  It's about how much fun you have getting there.
