Try reading a classic novel, say by Joyce, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Melville, etc. OK, maybe not Melville 'cause Moby Dick is sort of a fishing story after all.
The tug is the drug...frigg, thanks for that. I thought it was just me. I'm a lot better now but I had to rebuild my life twice over that tug. Wouldn't change a thing, just wish the fishing was what it was 30 years ago...
