You all ready for the arrival of the striped ones? Got new hooks on your plugs and are they sharp? Tie enough leaders? Finish that rod you were making? Do you have all of the plugs finished that you wanted? Is the boat ready to hit the water? Beach buggy ready to roll? :huh: What do you have left to do?

I have my Jeep ready...got my sticker, put on the soft top and a coat of wax. Hopefully Raider Ron is going to put new springs and shocks in later this month. :cool: I have to replace all the hooks on my plugs and tie some leaders...and I have a bunch of plugs to finish but when it is all said and done....when the striped ones arrive, I will be ready! :hihi:

wish i could say i was ready. :(

Ready and catchin'!!!

Ready and catchin'!!!

same here :)

been ready for a month now ,i went down to the water this morning to do a little practicing with my new baitcaster , felt good to smell the salt air , listen the the gulls , even though it was only practice i still made 30 one last casts :soon:

Just have to tie some leaders, check my plugs, and I am good to go. :soon:

I was ready two months ago! :laughs:

I am not even close to being ready, :soon:

lets rock!

I am close...waiting for reels and a couple rods with busted guides to be ready then it's time :skulz:

i am not ready. Please send me plugs so i can be at least somewhat ready. I thank you, and the children without plugs foundation thanks you :angel:

Getting a sticker tomorrow or next day. Putting a new main gear in the 704z this weekend( stripped it in a bloofish blitz last Fall). I'll be ready by May :hs:

I am never ready. Usually around Oct. is when I finally am completely ready. Chicken with his head cut off, that's me. Paul

I'm going to be freakin out of pocket for 2 weeks...in Cali and Mexico...

Please don't kill all the fish before I return;.

Spence,
You should be getting back just at the right time to start fishing

:uhuh: :) :soon:

I haven't tied one leader but I do have 110 left from last season.No new hooks on da plugs,but I did turn a couple of plugs this spring,there not done as of yet but I look forward to completing them thou.
I do want to put that new 45 gal eel tank in the ground this week with continuous water feed & over flow holes.

Im still waiting for my new 10' 1 pice casting 2-6oz.MH St.Croix Avid series rod to come in the mail.

Im going to bust out the last 4#'s of vacuumed sealed Striped Bass marinated in Italian dressing & do it up on the grill with some Spinach Fettuccine & alfrado sauce with asparagus spears & top it off with a nice hearty salad and of course some frosty cold one's & some Jack:drool:

I cannot wait till there arrival.I cannot wait for that first night before fishing going over & over in my head the repitition of preparing of all my gear & the area Im going to fish that next day.
I can't wait for the the night I go to bed with the anticipation of "gettin there" Getting up @ 03:00 hrs. hearing the birds in the distance as I walk out to my truck in the cold spring air.
I can't wait to see the steam roll off the cool water and remind me of years of the past.
I can't wait to smell the salt air & see the birds take flight over the new morning sky.
I can't wait for that first fishing sun rise and the many more to come............
This is what I can't wait for,the sun rise the solituted & self enjoyment of just being there and catching the fish is just a bonus!

Of corse I can't wait bring it on already:devil:

Best of luck to you all & may you all have an Awesome year:cheers:
