Even though I have been fishing and running my tournaments through the winter my season is coming to an end Feb 7th.....BUT then I must get ready for the new season just 3 weeks away after that.I have upgraded 2 rods and reels for this year.I sat down yesterday and went through all my tackle in my boat and taken out anything that I just dont use and added very few things that I might need.I still have to oil all my reels and purchase a couple of spools of line.I made sure my net is still in good shape and all of my culling floats.I make sure that I have 3 pairs of sunglasses( 1 for me ,1 for my partner if he forgets his ,and 1 if a pair gets broken or takes a swim)I also carry a bundle of cloth white towels for wiping off my hands or face or wiping out my seats.Spray on sunscreen.I know my batteries are good because I just topped off the cells and I replaced them last year.I am planning in the next two weeks to do a full service on my engine(warranty runs out next month,YIKES).Last but not least no rest for the wicked.I will be practicing for my tournament feb.7th and then just expand the next couple of weekends for the CBA.
