View Full Version : Life and fishing after divorce

My divorce was finalized on April 30. I haven't gone fishing in 18 months. I used to be a very good fisherman who got hooked on surf fishing at the age of 32. Lots of trips to OBX and AI. Lots of fish caught and monsters lost. People have told me that I need to get back to doing what I love. I look at all of my fishing tackle that just sits- Van Staals, Abu's, Calcuttas, Penns, Avets, Rainshadows, Infernos, Fusions, HJ customs and the list goes on and on.

My question is- should I start back slow with river and stream fishing here in WVA, or go all-in for another trip to AI or OBX? Maybe some of you have been in my shoes yourself. I will gladly take any advice under consideration.

Thanx- FH out

If you got good fishing in the river and it's close by then go wet a line have a few buds and relax

Head to the ocean and hook one of those 50lb red drum and hang on to your shorts. It will spark a new begening and will also spark up an easy conversation with one of the bikini clad chicks on the beach. My .02

Get back into the game. It will do you good. The first time you feel the pull of a big fish you will be hooked again.

It is time to get back to Fishing,.. Just looking at your tackle is not helping. Time to get that Saltwater running through your veins. GO GET BENT !!

The best thing I ever added to my tackle box was a divorce and don't forget it.

Get back into it either way that makes it comfortable. With the price of gas now maybe the local fishing will be a good start and then work your way to the long distance stuff.

Good fishing

I think a beach trip is in order. Got to feel the sand between my toes again. Probably fish at the walk-over at AI. Pack light-three rods and take my new Honda Civic that gets 40 mpg. Don't have to ask for time off from work- no job. Been living in my self-imposed prison long enough- people tell me that my ex wants it this way. No more. Thanx again.

FH out
