I've been selling some of the tackle I don't use to help balance out the purchases I made at RISSA and MSBA. It's helping keep me a little busy for now.
I'm not very excited about chasing schoolies or holdovers so I'm gonna hold off as long as I can. Conserve my fuel money until it's really go time.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN.Feed the addiction. Go out and do some freshwater fishing. There's tons of freshly stocked mindless trout swimming around. The big largemouth bass are on the feed, too. It's better to catch little fish than no fish at all!

Good point. Been catching lots of quality "Larrys" for about three weeks in the local shallow ponds. Will be in the surf by month's end/early May. Maybe one schoolie trip, but that's it.  |

yeah, I just posted about fishing freshwater in the "are you ready" thread, but to elaborate further, it does help, no doubt about it, just to feel a pull on the line feels great after the winter (I am not an ice-fisherman). It's like a quick fix, and it's a gateway drug for surfcasting! |

Still those holdovers fight just as good as the large mouths and 10 times better than a rainbow if you use the same equipment. Just remember to pinch those barbs.

I did the same so I could get a new rod and I want to get everything settled before I fish so I want to fish for schoolies but I want to wait for the cows and fish the Alewife run in the middle of May. plugs and flies only though.
I have so many new plugs and tins I don't know where to start, plus 3 new reels and 2 new rods. |
