Oh Yah Spring

First day of spring, ready to wet a line?

Gear all serviced? hooks changed? Not me

I usually wait till mid May but I am ready, anyone for some trout?

New time its nice getting home from work in the daylight. Sunshine has me daydreaming out the window all day at work. I'm a wreck though....I think am going to start frothing at the mouth or something ....like an ANIMAL.........hibernation is over. Give me that sultry night on the beach. Salt, sand, stars....oh yeah and stripers

I replaced all my hooks last sunday and cleaned up the plug bags and tackle depot, what a nightmare with a new cat in the house. Did the reels a few weeks ago. All i need to do now is replace a few guides and get a new rod and im a good too go.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Angry cats and plugs

i had this friggan cat that just loved lures....

prolly cuz i used ta go cat fishin hookless for him
with a catnip mouse....
if ya ever need a good belly laugh-> thats the way....

anyways...that S.O.B. got into my tacklebox one day
he had all the lures everywhere....tangled, pissin me off bigtime

"i thought" i had every stinkin plug back where it belonged
and i picked up my camouflage parachute for hiding my rig

i was whirling it into a ball wicked fast
.....to stow it away....
and "Son of a gun" there was one plug left in the middle
and i buried that treble hook right into
my hand so deep i had to go to the hospital.

Hey All,

I remember seeing a posting somewhere on here about tourneys this year. Fresh and salt. I think someone was talking about putting some together. Any ideas?

They started stocking the Northeast region this week...another week and they should be hitting the ponds in my area.
