I'm generally not one to brag on myself but Chris Hong with the Florida Times Union wrote an excellent article (if I do say so myself) on flood tide fishing in NE FL. His writing style agrees with my opinion that our time spent in the outdoors should be reflective of the experience, not focused on the result. If you have time, please read his other articles.
Some may disagree, but I firmly believe that the more folks that are responsibly using our state's natural resources, the better the chance the resources have of being conserved. In other words, cognizance of the importance of the resource produces concern for conservation. One of the reasons I got my captain's license and decided to start guiding is so that I can bring people into the fold of enjoying the outdoors, strictly for the sake of being part of the natural process of things rather than the stop-and-go of daily life. Too often, in our rush to tend to business, family, paying the bills, etc we forget that every step we take has the potential to create downstream butterfly effects that we cannot even fathom, for better or for worse. Without further ado, here is a link to the article:
