With March 1st upon us and the best fishing shows of the season coming this month I was just wondering what sets your gears in motion as far as getting geared up (cleaning up tackle, putting new hooks on plugs...all that kind of stuff)? For me its always been seeing March 1st on the calendar!

Thats when I begin cleaning the rods, organizing tackle, cleaning and restocking my tackle bags, cleaning my reels, sharpening hooks or replacing hooks on plugs, tying leaders for the season, making a short

list of spots I want to fish and scoping out all my usual haunts to see how Mother Nature has changed them, and getting my beach buggy ready for the long season!
When do you guys get motivated?
