Show season is over - what's next?
Show season is over and with the dinks trickling in and the bigger gals around the corner - what's next?
How much gear work do you need to get done? (for me - a lot)
What else do you need to buy?
What else do you need to prepare for?
Are you really ready to just GO FISH?

I am more than ready to fish, the final steps will be moving all of my gear(waders, skinz, cooler, plug bag etc.) into my truck. Once that happens the season is on.

Last minute Larry dropped off a few reels today for service, though I have others to start the season with should they take awhile to get back!  Rod rack is in truck, gotta tie some leaders, clean the dust off the rods and I am ready to hit it....couple more weeks!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

yeah, I gotta get one of my reels serviced! I also need to rig up some sluggos, got a bunch of them for a great deal at RISAA. I'm waiting on the tying leaders, I like to have fresh knots! (superstition?).
I made a "Keep Cool eel bucket" last weekend and can't wait to populate it!

I summerized the ice auger and hung it in the rafters, while I was up there I took down the rocket launcher that rides in the bed of my truck.....
The rods are ready, I've got more than enough plugs,fllies and jigs...
I just need to paint the bottom of the boat, put in the batteries and change the water pump.. once that is done I'll trap a few eels, fill the freezer with cod and haddock and by then the REAL fish should be here...

I got my van staals back from service yesterday so i'm going to put line on them tonight. I've already tied about 250 leaders so I'm good on that. The big thing I need to do right now is rig some pink and white 7 inch sluggos which I have really been avoiding. I think it's also time to put my trac rack on my rig.

I really don't have much to do to my gear unless you count my boat...
Tie leaders and snell hooks on, organize some stuff and re-spool my reels is about it.
I can't wait to try out my saltiga though!

Have about 4-5 busy weeks ahead with work, then some angling adventure. Should be just about the right time for good quantities of larger fish by then. Of course if it rains or the urge strikes me, it will be 4-5 days from now.....

Going to pick up the Shimano Torium20... I hear its a great reel for the dough...my boat arsenal is looking shabby. Still need to pick up a few spools of mirage fluro, paint a few jigs and finish up a couple rods for friends. On the boat, going to add another bilge pump, there is a couple major up grades Ild like to add but time and money will be the decider.

Hitting my surrounding backbays this weekend,, Bass are getting real acitve on the out-going tides. Mostly still 18"-32" size fish,but there was a report the other day of a 46"/40Lb caught trying to make its way up one of the SouthJersey Rivers..Hated to see that it was brought to the scales,but it shows that some of the biguns are on the move... Water temps are still a little cold in the surf for anytype of plugging action but a few are picking up some fish on freash clam.. I'm sticking to the back with bombers and rubba until it warms up a bit more there..
Good Luck Everyone Wetting A Line This Weekend,,,,
