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.

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!

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 am basically ready to go. Last thing left to do is spool em' up!  |

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.....

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...

Everything is done except to put the electronics back in the boat and rig a few spreader bars. should be able to do that in a few hours tops. Codfishing until the big girls show in May.

I'm getting closer. I've acquired some necessary plugs. I've got to spool the new reel. Tie some leaders and teasers. I also need to replace the studs in my Korkers.
I still need to find a moderately priced plug bag.

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.
