Yep after buying everything under the sun this winter and reading and studying tactics... tomorrow I will put it all to the test for the first time... now will I catch a fish? hahahah I HOPE SO!!!

I am driving down to Illinois to go fishing with my dad and step-brother who manages a wetland so HOPEFULLY he will be able to put me on some serious fish!!!

I have the two new Curados, and my one new OLD style BSF all spooled up I am SOOO ready to get them out on the water...

I also have the new GLoomis/St Croix/Falcon rods in the Plano Rod holder...

I have the tools/bait/desire to catch some fish... I just hope I have the skill

I have the camera charging right now so HOPEFULLY if the Bass Gods smile on me I will have some pictures to post on Monday....

Even if I don't catch a thing... this is the first time I have taken leave (vacation) in quite some time so just being away is going to be relaxing, I just have to remember to leave my cell phone turned off hahahahaha

AL

Good luck Al and enjoy your time away from work!!!

Let us know how you do!

good luck dude!!!

As long as you payed enough to the bait monkey you should be ok.

                                                                Chuck. ;D

Good luck AL. Let's see those pics when you get 'em. Weather should be real good for you. It's going to finally hit the 70's air temp here in WI. I'll be hittin' the Wisconsin river 3 out of the next 5 days. Can't wait!

go get them al.  why havent you been able to fish, is there still ice on your lakes?

Go get 'em Al! Have a good time!
