Whenever I get ready to take a trip, I make a list of things to take. Course I tend to focus more on the rods and reels, then tackle, then accessories first, clothes…etc a distant second. Unless you count rainwear, which really is an accessory when you think about it.
Where to, the cabin, location: somewhere in the middle of the Upper Peninsula. What am I going to be fishing for, primarily muskie, some pike, some walleye and going to try my hand at some smallie fishing. Might have some time for a little crappie fishing, just for kicks and dinner. Total rod combo’s come to sixteen, might whittle it down to 15, but sixteen sounds right. Then tackle. Am only going to throw tubes and drop shot for the smallies. Have to stuff for Big Bay de Noc and the walleye, pike and smallmouth bass that can be found.
The list just keeps getting bigger and bigger lol. Point is, make a list whenever you go on vacation. Check the items off as you pile them in the corner, or in the truck and boat. Making my list, then 7 days of Upper Peninsula bliss.
