Not sure about the being smarter, but it just got frustrating. If you don’t fish pretty regularly, there is always a surprise in store when you do decide to go...... boat tags are out, trailer tags are out, flat on the trailer, dead batteries that won’t charge, trailer light out, you name it. Of course I’m not telling you something you don’t already know, but add all of that to the fact that I did more work at the camp than I would have had I stayed home, didn’t leave much time for fishing.
My BIL goes fishing with a friend and brings me all his white perch and specs. He doesn’t eat fish, so I still get to enjoy the dining side. lol
