As an admitted bassoholic I have gone thru my DT phase for this winter already and now I am in rehab.
This consists of attending winter fishing and boating shows. I am further depressed by the fact that this spring when I would normally head to the run to wait for the herring to arrive and BS with similar souls... will not occur this season. This is my first fishing event of the year and it has been taken from me by greedy commerical fisherman and stupid regulators. I am further depressed by the fact that the eel population is also low and fishing with live bait will be limited to scup...but in MA the regulators shut that down last year at the end of August.
All that negative stuff aside...I take great comfort in my stockplining of quality plugs over the years and will fish them alot more this season.
