I've lost a few fishing friends and it is a bit tough making those drives alone after
fishing most of the night. It was most comforting when you know your buddy has
your back and you each keep an eye out for each other. It does make for less
frequent trips also not to mention increased cost of the trip. After 5 yrs of fishing
without a buddy I was fortunate to meet many other anglers who have been very
friendly, helpful and at least watch out of the corner of their eye.  It had been a
few years since I fished from shore, dock, pier, and I was a bit apprehensive to
trying these areas (stories of gangs and bad people). Well so far I have met a lot
of very nice folks and will not hesitate to try new areas even in the dead of night.
Do not let the language barrier stop you from communicating with other anglers
as I found the universal language of angling. Pointing, showing rigs and jigs and
such will make us all one big family and I learn something new on just about every
trip. Hoping to meet up with some of the regulars in RI and CT some night so I can
put a face with a user name etc. Bao, Han, Mike, Scott, Anthony just a few folks I've
met that I have learned from. My only wish is that I can leave others some of what I
have learned to make me a better angler.
