I heard and saw my first red wing blackbirds yesterday. Not the first sign of spring, but the first sign that spring is getting closer. Last year I planted my first pea and spinach seeds about March 15 - three weeks to go.
I wasn't even planning on fishing this upcoming season. Even sold my VS. But now i'm pumped. Thank God I still have my 704 and 706. caught all my fish on those anyways. Need to start stocking up on rubber, redfins, sebiles and pencils. can't wait!
