so close now...
 

...you can almost feel that first tug of the line signaling the first schoolie of the year, or that first really good tug when you know it's something a bit bigger, the first night out on the rocks for hours on end slinging plugs and eels into the dark water, the first time the wife starts to get fed up with you spending hours on end for several nights in a row out on some rock but you don't care because you're still thinking about how satisfying it was to catch that really nice fish from behind that rock where you just knew she'd be hiding waiting to inhale your perfectly presented bait as it passed by...it's a wonderful pastime we've chosen for ourselves, ladies and gentlemen, and I for one love it more every second I spend out there! Here's hoping you all have the best season you've ever had!

i went out on the north sure of long island last night so i could test two of my new plugs. wasnt expecting anything but i have a nice swirl right behing the plug.:uhuh::uhuh::uhuh:

:cheers2:

i don't think i'm going to make it to the 4th. everyday i get more and more excited. it seems like it will never get here! then again spring seemed like it would never come a few months ago. and here it is.

Be calm ,cherish the the few weeks we have to get ready for Im sure to be an unbelievable fishing season. if it half as good as last year Ill be Happy, These are great Times we live in bros and sisters, the fish will be big and they will hit hard and fast, so take the time to finish up the little things so you can fish as often as you can.. I am "the search goes on" .....

if it's half as good as last year... i'll catch half a fish! :rotf2:

and then i woke up today to snow!!!

that said.

Im getting antsy :)
