Lets go fishing, whos got the tacklebox?

Well its that time of Helpful resources year again, time to dust off the rod and real, clean up the fishing lures that you forgot about last year, and buy a new pair hip boots. Thats right my friends, its fishing season. Time to get the beer in the cooler, load up the truck, hitch the boat, and get out to your favorite watering hole.

One of the things I like to do at the start of a new fishing season is pick up some new tackle. You see, Ive spent all winter surfing the Internet for the best deals on the latest worms, floats, rods, and reels. Why? Who else am I to blame for last years failures? Who am I going to blame for the one that got away if not that lure that I had to buy at the start of last years season?

Like I said, I spent a lot of time online this winter looking at some of the latest and greatest equipment for our favorite sport. And while you cant make it more complicated than depth finders, there seems to be resurgence in getting back to basics. Ive seen a lot of ads for vintage lures, especially for trout fisherman. Old bamboo rods have become big again in some areas and it seems more and more people are enjoying the sport of angling than ever before.

But what makes a fisherman I ask myself, its got to be the fact that I have to make two trips to the truck just for all my tackle since you never know when you are going to need the skinny minnow in red instead of in purple, or maybe its black, oh I dont remember. Maybe thats why the 15 pound bass is still in the lake and not on my wall.

Well, whatever the reason, heres to having a great fishing season!
