    Default Addiction


    I confess, I am crappie fishing addict. I love to feel the thump, the the thump, and catch the thumpers. I love to fish with a cork, jig, spider rig, crank bait, or what ever i can use legally to catch the crappie on. I often go through with drawls which sometimes makes me drive long distances for a good thump.

    I am in self treatment at least once a week. I enjoy sometimes meeting other addicts on the water or a treatment too.

    Sometimes i self medicate with a good trip to the local sporting goods store where i buy merchandise to help me get the thump back.

    Are you an addict too?

    I confess I'm an addict and have been for years. I thought when I got older it wouldn't be as bad but it seems to be getting worse. Then I found this web sight and things are getting out of control. Now when I dont have time to go fishing I get on here and read about everyones fish trips. I think I need help but I cant afford to go see a doctor I've spent all my money on boats, rods, and baits. What to do, what to do?

    A true addict can't admit to it.

    I'm not an addict, I can quit any time I want to. I just don't want to. Oh, wait, I have heard that line before, maybe I am, but I'll never admit it.
