Fishing Michigan

If you remember my topics on tying your own crawler harnesses, you might be recall the use of the water noodles for securing the rigs.  Just your average everyday pool toy.

Now you can use these if you make your own rigs or if you just buy them off the shelves at a bait shop on your way to the lake  like Matthew’s over in Bolles Harbour.

Today, was a very special day in the family, Lani had her first birthday.  Even though the families will gather tomorrow to celebrate.  My dad and I took the munchkin out to dinner with her parents.  I must say, the gals over at Bob Evans know this kid coming a mile away.  After dinner, I couldn’t pass up stopping over at Wal-Mart to see what I could find in their fishing isles.

They had a couple of bins set up right by the main isle as it went by the sporting goods section.  Best part was the price, only $1.50 each.  That’s 49 cents less than what I paid at Big Lots last year, and $2.49 less than what I found them for on Ebay (plus some crazy shipping prices).  The noodles were 58 inches long, so I cut them into 9 and 3/4 inch sections.  Worked out pretty good, the last section was 9.5 inches long.  So, I got six separate rig holders for the buck fifty.  Just remember to stop and get yourself some toothpicks for securing, and you’ve got it made for the season.  For that price, I bought seven myself.  Just in case I need to replace some over the years to come.
