New Year's Resolutions

Okay, so I spent a little time in Uncle Crafty's Tackle Shack starting to clean and repair my stuff and figured since it's the new year ya gotta make a resolution or two.

Nah, I don't mean the usuals like losing weight, quittin' smoking or drinking or helping out more around the house (I already made that promise, anyway - I'm gonna try - no, really, I am) .

I mean fishing stuff for next season since we can start on some of it now.

This coming year, for me, it's:

- Traveling lighter. I'm going on a weight reduction program - well, not for me yet, I mean the amount of stuff I end up hauling around on the rocks. I got ultralight waders, which oughta help a little and paring down the jigs, tins, plugs, spare stuff and extras that add up.

- I'm really gonna try flyfishing after about a dozen years of saying I'm gonna try flyfishing. I figure I can start to tie some of my own flies over the winter since I already do my own jigs and teasers. But I'm still a diehard eel/plug guy. It'll just be a new wrinkle for me.

- I'm gonna use eelskins more - Mrs. Crafty made me clean out one of the freezers and I wanna recycle.

- I'm finally gonna get some molds made so I can pour my own tins.

How about anyone else - anything you're gonna change or try something ya didn't get around to last season?

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
