Now that Christmas is over I can start to reorganize my fishing gear. I find it to be a relaxing activity and one that opens my eyes for new fishing opportunities. I often find lures that would work in different places or in new presentations. The rusty hooks or damaged baits can be cleared out. I remember the terrific days on the water catching smallmouth bass on a battered and bent top water lure that will need repairs.
I found a spinner, made by an old friend, the last one he gave me, (and it is one of my favorite pike baits). My friend is gone now. He's fishing the big Mississippi in the sky. I'll be putting that spinner in a special place for now on. Perhaps I'll try to recreate the design myself.
If you get time, spend a little time reorganizing your tackle, there is much more to it than you think.
