America, the Land of Bass
Posted: Tue May 28, 2002 11:03 pm
It having been Memorial Day (celebrated) yesterday, it gave me a chance to be around the people I love, the surroundings I love and because all of them fish, I was around the bass tackle I love.
Last year I settled most of my tackle in a pre-fab shed. (Unfortunately, I share the inside of the shed with too many other house and garden things) It has a lock on it but my wife vetoed my suggestion that we surround it with chain-link fencing and razor wire. An excellent angler in her own right, she laughs at any thought that someone might want to misappropriate my bass tackle. (She hasn't bought any Senkos lately. And wait until she hears (from some "turncoat") that my Lucky Craft Pointer cost more than her
flat of perennials! There will be "heck" to pay.
Back when I fished 24/7 I changed line more than anyone I knew. She'd change line once a season (and still managed to win awards at the club awards affair.)
I guess what this post really is designed to do is for all posters to come up with creative ways to hide tackle (there, I said it!)I had a number of friends who used to send mail order tackle to a single buddy's
address. That won't work too well anymore.
So, let's hear it from you inventive bass fishermen out there. (Did I hear someone say
dig a tunnel at night after the little woman goes to bed. Store rods under ground? Give me a break!)
