Packin' up the truck and heading our for the first "real" fishing trip of the year.
"Real" trip? Yeah... I'm a die hard. And I'll go in middle of winter even. This year between hunting and shooting with @Ninering62 the late fall/early winter fishing didn't happen, but I made it out in early March before turkey season started but there was no bait to be had. Being employed in the education field I don't drop the $ on bait each time I go, but rather I'm at the mercy of the cast net gods...
Now that weather is better, water is warmer, bait fish are back in abundance, it is time to go wet a line and hopefully stretch out some kinks. Even if I only catch catfish, I don't care - I don't eat fish and they bend the rod just as well as a redfish or trout.
Hopefully will be able to get some small crabs as well, so I can attempt to tangle with another one of these big black drum....
