Woke up this morning to rain coming down, so it did not take much to convince myself to scrap any fishing plans this morning and grab a couple of extra Z’s. Course once you are up, there are times when any chance of falling back to sleep just is not going to happen, so I up I stayed.
Around 7 am the text messages started, then the emails, wall posts on Facebook, and the kind messages on the forums I belong to…etc. Then, when I think things are starting to slow down, I get an email from DB Fishing about a new lure they are sending out to put through the trials out on Erie and later this month up on Big and Little Bay de Noc.
They are calling it the “Worm Slasher”, but how did they know it was my birthday??? They are in the mail, complete with a color chart to show what will be available in their first offering. The great thing about DB Fishing is this, I bet if you don’t see a hot color that you really like, make the call or send up a sample, and they will get what you want painted up and in the mail within a week.
I don’t even know what this thing is going to look like, and I cannot wait to receive the package and get it wet. You know the sad thing is about being a fishaholic, I already made up a list of the blades I want to get next spring at the Steelheader’s Boat Show at the Monroe County Fairgrounds. Even stuck a little asterisk next to the blades I want to be custom painted. I have enough #5 sized blades to last me a while, so next year going to concentrate on some #3’s and #4’s for the early spring bite, that is if the water is warmer next spring than it was this year!!!
Well, Happy Belated Birthday – how old does this make you now?
that would be a spry 43, or as a friend from high school recently said, “seasoned”. So I laughed and said, “sure with salt and pepper”. which of course is mostly in my beard!
