OK......here we are......on the cusp of another season where we are all sitting around chomping the bit hoping for those first warm stretches of weather that will cut loose our beloved Largemouth to raid the shallow and proliferate their species.
That said....what are you gonna do to get ready for them???
I started this process last August when I started on Weight Watchers and have lost 70 pounds on my way back to a much healthier and manageable weight which will make my fishing much more fullfilling and increase my stamina allowing me to learn more and reach farther within myself. Might be a little deep for such a small thread but I also am working on casting left handed.....rather "Roll Casting" from the left which will allow me to fish from either side of the boat..... and not have to switch the rod from hand to hand missing strikes.....a big problem for me....and will help me to incorporate the baitcaster much more.


So.....WHATCH YA GONNA DO?

I'm going to concentrate on fishing a little harder and better at the tournaments I attend this year... I've been slacking a little in the past few years when I do attend...

Also, I'm going to work hard at enjoying my float tube more on small lakes because I don't feel like continually handing money over to oil and gas corporations. Small soapbox note: Exxon-Mobile posted the largest profit ever for a U.S. corporation in 2007. Check out this article if you're interested:

Ok. I'm done 

I'm with Troy on the swimbait deal. Got real comfortable with them real fast and want to try my luck with them on other lakes, mess with sizes etc.

I am not fishing many club events due to other prior commitments this year but maybe next year.
