The Bad:

 

 and,

 The Rest Of The Story:

The answer is 47.  No, actually the answer is: there are no bad fishing days.  There are bad catching days, bad weather days, bad engine problem days, bad equipment days, bad sandwich days, blah, blah, blah.  Fishing does not allow crybabies.  There is no crying in fishing.  Unless you get a hook completely through your finger right in the middle of one of the best mackerel runs in a long time and your fishing partner, a nurse no less, can't stand the sight of your blood and a large hook sticking through your thumb so she insists that you stop fishing and drive all the way to the emergency room to have it cut out which, frankly, hurt more than the damn hook in my finger and by the time that adventure was over so was the fishing for the day at which time I did feel like crying because we were catching mackerel dammit.  We're over that now.  Fishing tomorrow looks good.  Beautiful weather but flat tide.  Cold front, which means the fishing in the river will have picked up.  If it picks up more than the two redfish I caught last week I will be delirious.  My fishing logs, starting in 2006, show an even split between mackerel on The Rise and redfish in the river.  Depends upon the water temperature and the tide.  And the fishing gods.  On every occasion this time of year we tried the flats and the river and filled the cooler on one or the other.  We currently have sheepshead fever and will probably try the river at some point.  Anticipating going fishing is almost as much fun as fishing without having to clean the boat.  Today we anticipate, tomorrow, we fish.
