The New Season

After a long hard winter, I see all the boats are coming out and getting dusted off. People are making reservations at their favorite watering holes, and fishing tackle is flying off the shelves.

I suppose a core of them are gearing up for tournament time, while others (like myself) are just trying to spend more time with the kids. So whats your fishing-new-years resolution? Going to try out some new baits? Perhaps pick up a new style of fishing?

Hot lures this year appear to be soft plastics and plug baits. Will that change soon? Some magazines have reported great success on spoons in certain key areas, while falling short in others. Maybe it's the rods... hahah Doubt it!

While you're gathering the essentials for this years adventure, be sure to visit some new areas to fish. Grab a lake map from your GFP (if available) or purchase one on-line. There are several quality fishing map sites out there. Here's one just for fun - Lake Maps

Have fun this year, and remember to try something new!
