  • What to do during the blizzard

    Ten kayak fishing things to do during the blizzard:

    1. Reorganize the tackle in your Plano boxes; group plastics by type and color; set aside rusted hooks and chipped jig heads for replacement or repainting
    2. Clean out the hatches in your kayaks (My center hatch contains expired licenses, leader remnants, snack wrappers, and torn plastics.)
    3. Wash the stiff, stinky fish towel that has been in your kayak for months
    4. Top off the charge on your FF battery
    5. Replace treble hooks on crank baits with single hooks
    6. Clean and lubricate your reels.
    7. Tie flies and/or bucktail jigs
    8. Retie short and nicked leaders
    9. Buy tackle or something for your kayak on-line
    10. Pray the power doesn’t go out so you can accomplish any or all of the above

    Any additions?

      1. Add my anchor trolley
      2. Run wires for my FF and mount transducer (I'm going to try in-hull)
      3. Organize tackle boxes and milk crate
      4. Add rod holders to my sons kayak.
      5. Practice tying different fishing knots
      I have 2 kayaks in my Man Cave right now!
      New to the game but not a rookie!

        1. Make a online cart of fishing equipment to buy once you get your tax return

              1. Push snow off driveway (900ft)
              2. Finish wiring on kayak. FF is done
              3. Have a cold beverage.
              4. Push snow again
              5. Have another cold beverage
              6. Like mentioned earlier, read a good book. I will re-read the good book.
              7. Push snow again
              8. Have another cold beverage
              I think I see a pattern developing.

                        Ha! Funny you mention #3 because I just put mine in the wash earlier this week. Same with my fish handling gloves. Took care of #9 last weekend

                              ......... My copy of Rio's Modern Spey Casting came in just before the snow .......... Over 4 hours of instruction ........

                              Scored a Van Staal 300vs with a custom 11 ft surf Rod on Friday ........ Have to play with the no bail line pick up

                              ........ And a ton of comfort food
