[lurch]

I am a slackah as I have not sent my reel into VS for some service it needs...ill try to do it tomorrow.

[t.orlando]

Haven't even started yet. Still 5 weeks to go.

[BassDawg]

i still have time, as i won't get into the full swing of things
until June's new. i'll be dropping my 750ssm at Kay's this week.
have yet to modify my Korkers and i have several rigged eeeeeeels to rig. couple of eeeel skin plugs too. am thinking of trying Don's new needle skins, they look feeeeshy man!

the itch is there, just not reday to spend the gas dollars to hit SOCO SO early. will give the species and me mojo a break until June. my shoulder too, i may have some issues developing there from work and play.

By all means, go for it! i'm just gonna try a smarter/not harder approach this year..................try to up my skunks:to bites ratio also!!

Four more weeks to get the VS's back. Still gotta respool, but sorted through the plugs the other day. Three more weeks till CT...gonna be away until then, so I better start getting ready.
Later,
Rick

This year is wierd as I'm living with my parents while trying to save for a house or condo down payment. Space is limited so most of my pluggage is packed away but I've identified the must have plugs and for the most part they're ready to go. Leaders are another story. I think I've tied ten and my goal is over 200.

The preseason spending i'm used to has not been as bad and I have the striper cup to thank for that. Got a nice schoolie set up, 1200 yds. of suffix 30 and 50 lb, 100 gami live bait hooks, new vs. and various other stuff as a result of prizes. It really helped as it's tough to justify spending money on that stuff when you're working towards something more important and someone else is putting a roof over your head.

I cleaned my truck today and it will be ready for action soon but I won't put much tackle in it for another month and a half. Van staals should show up in about 3 weeks. Most of my other gear is ready for action.

I'm am considering selling some reels and taking the zee baas plunge.

I can't friggin wait.
