Spring?
 
Are you guys ready? I serviced all my reels swapped out all my split rinmgs and hooks on the plugs that needed them, bought a new pair of korkers and drytop.. Just need to put line on a few of my reels and I'm ready to rock and roll.
It can't get here soon enough.
What have you guys done for this upcoming season or what needs to get done? and most of all WHO'S READY?!?!?!?

I want to be ready, but I haven't done anything to get ready. Slacking, usually by now my fingers are cut to hell from tying leaders, swapping hooks etc..havent even sent my reels out yet. Way behind this year.

I stopped fishing 1/3/13 so most of my stuff is ready to go. Waiting to spool up the Zees with 832. my Schoolie set up is ready. Rocking a 5000 stradic FJ for the early run. Have a bunch of rubbers and bucktails to start the season. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

I'm pretty much ready to go. I just need to replace the hooks on a couple plugs and tie a few more eel leaders. And, I'm pretty sure I could find everything I need I need if the fish were to show up tomorrow. On second thought, I still need to pick up a new white bucket at the recommendation of Tysdad115, lol.

You only need the bucket if you want to be a www.innernethero on the dot com tour. Otherwise you dont stand a chance

It's settled. I'm getting the bucket. All this waking up really early or staying out really late trying to catch fish is for the birds. I'm doing all my fishing from the comfort of my keyboard this year.

i really dont know what i need to get ready until i go out and break it,or find out its broken when i get there.other than that everything should work cause it did when i put it away.

Yep plug bag still loaded from the last trip to the ditch leaders I tie direct to the running line so I guess I am good. Got a couple of rods to build at some point I hope they get real thread and not tape before I need em.

I don't get ready anymore. That way, when I loose my first 30# bass, I can blame the equipment.

I never get ready till te day before it's time to fish, the only thing I did was get my Saltwater Licence
