Well I love fishing and hunting also. I am also a scuba diver. When fishing I never cared if I catch a fish or not. Fishing for me is just a relaxing hobby. I get the luxury to live near the sea, so I don't have to plan anything, I know different spots for fishing. Usually I like going alone to relax, but I don't mind going with someone else if they can keep their mouth shut :P.

As for diving, I just go to relax also. I can actually dive to 60 meters under sea level. I never touch anything down there, I just go to enjoy and relax and believe me after you get out of the dive, you are veeeery relaxed. Nothing can make me angry after a dive hehe.

Those diamond wraps take about 8 to 12 hours by themselves one thread at a time. The rest of the rod from building the handles and doing the guide wraps is another 6 to 8 depending on how many guides and blank diameter

For some fish nights are better. Depends on the season though and whether they are migrating. Spring and Fall migrations have yielded some nice catches for me off the beach for stripers and bluefish in the daytime. Also some fish dont feed at night at all. Someone once asked when is the best time to catch a big fluke? (local flounder species). My answer... any time you can wet your line. Although I think he was refering to tides and months giggles, my point was understood that you cant catch em from your couch.

Your fishing rods are works of art, Rachel. I commend you for the patience and fine handwork that it takes to complete one.
