can i just vent??

screaming out into the void a bit but

i go fishing almost every day in the summer, truly, if there’s no rain i’m out there between 6:30 and 8:00 to 8:30 MOST nights.

i have not caught anything nor gotten a bite for the last idk twenty something trips. almost every cast i pull up some pond muck, and i never have a smooth retrieval, if i’m reeling in a spinner you best believe that SOB is gonna hit 12 different surfaces en route to me, no matter WHERE i fish.

i’d like to think i’m competent. i try all sorts of lures, all sorts of presentations. thought maybe my braid was giving it away and the fish got too smart so used fluorocarbon leaders? Nada.

matter of a fact the times before i DIDDDDD catch fish it was ONLY ever on a green pumpkin senko wacky wormed, every time i’ve tried swim baits or curly tailed grubs or in-line spinners or chatterbaits or whatever i catch NOTHING

i get snagged so often and sometimes the only way to get out of it is to grab the line w my hands and pull

and i cut my fingers so badly too

my fingers are cut, i smell like shit, my tacklebox is damp and rusting, and i can’t catch anything.

such a bummer. sorry for the hysterics.
