Getting ready 101

[Captmikestarrett]

Normally around New Years I take stock of my tackle and try to dump the old and replace/update to new reels rods and tackle. So I have gone off the deep end this year. I dumped eight reels and four rods. Added six rods and purchased two more Wave spin reels. This weekend I got four new Daiwa Regal reels for 19.95 each from a tackle shop going out of bus.



I found the four rods, all Berkly hunter series for 10 bucks each.. different sizes but all in great shape.

So now I need to dump some soft baits and a few boating items at the next flea market.

I really looking forward to being able to get in and out of the boat and walking normal again.. Dr says maybe another week and I can start lifting a little more.. Nice weather would be great too.

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of a fisherman;
And all the clouds that snowed upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried cold steel.
Now are our brows bound with victorious memories;
Our bruised arms awaiting rath of the cold steel;
Our stern charges forward in our dreams,
Our daily dreadful marches to summer found.....
