Some people don't like fishing with me because I'll do just that... persist. It seems some people wanna boat ride all day looking for an easy bite. If I see fish, have caught fish there at a certain time of year, or even just have a gut feeling that there are fish in an area I will beat it to death until they bite. Sometimes to a fault, I guess. But I very rarely come home empty handed or regretting a call I made on the water. Anyways, good job sticking with em!!
