Spring Fishing Checklist?
Some things I'm thinking about before the season gets underway...feel free to add I'm sure I'm forgetting quite a few things...
Map plan of attack based on logs and likely free time Clean reels Replace drag washers Fresh line where needed Check guides in rods with cotton balls for cracks and wear - repair/replace as needed Replenish line, leader and terminal tackle supplies Change hooks on plugs where required Replace korker studs Check waders for leaks - repair/replace as necessary Fresh C02 cartridges for inflatable safety vests (!) New flashlight bulbs and batteries Double check required beach buggy equipment kit 4WD Beach Buggy Permits (!) Put rod rack back on buggy Drag coolers out of storage Start thinking about organizing tackle for the truck |
for those who fish abus

I second that Christian, also those tiny C-clips--I always seem to lose one or two.

New CO2 cartridge? How often do these need to be replaced if unused?

I still need to find a new pair of waders.
Using braid for the first time this year. What do you guys use for clipping it? Nail clippers don't seem to work too good. Make up some leaders. New light. Need more rubbah. |

I'll look in the manual. As long as the cartridge hasn't discharged and the mechanisim isn't frozen, I can't imagine it wouldn't work.

Seriously, that stuff can be a bear to cut. Good suggestion on the kiddie scissors Eben! For the list: Re-tie Tube & Worm rigs with 30# mono. That way, if the knott breaks, I have only myself to blame! |
