Once again, fishing proves------

its value to keep me out of trouble. My bias favored getting long July hogs yesterday at the 82.70 area for a guess at what might be a potential support area and use $1 for damage control risk. My fishing guideline book showed that I needed to set my south end lines to catch a pair short positions @ 82.50. So I had to make a choice between patience for successfully proven fishing strategies to setup/not setup or use my bias guess at questionable support of 82.70 with $1 risk(a hit and miss strategy). I can't believe I argued with myself for an hour before the open, to decide on which choice to make. The Prime Directive for fishing won out over my ego filled bias thought.

Yesterday was tough fishing because I spent 4 hours playing with what I thought were suckers but my entry point had not been given much of a knee jerk challenge and late in the afternoon I managed to get my 40 cent sucker deposit on one and early this morning I got my $1 target deposit on the other one. I have no idea why it took so long but that catch sure wore me out mentally. Generally I don't have a catch on the line more than a couple hours and its easier to tell what I have or don't have. I hope these types of moves don't become common. I much prefer the quick $1 range action/reaction plays over a 50 cent stall for 3 hours. Now I'm wondering why I even considered using a hit and miss type of trade over fishing. My head must be swelled with ego and thinking I can do no wrong. I'm treading in dangerous waters, trying to THUNK myself into donations or worse than that with a trip to the woodshed, which is long overdue. I'd better give myself a quick session in front of the mirror before I hurt myself because I just can't shake the thought that I need to be making bottom picking guesses. Greed's whisper is starting to scream at me which usually me trouble.
