You were a click away from owning Tackle Warehouse

Just when you think the only ones who win the lottery are crazy people somewhere else, think again. Unbeknownst to me, my recent Tackle Warehouse order could have turned into a serious payday. Read on because this not some promotion. This actually happened.

Alabama Rig did not work today.....

Took a day off work to fish Lake Piru and figured I would use the Alabama Rig. This is a prime example that you need to keep an open mind in fishing because certain tools do not work all the time. The conditions where more suited for sight fishing and I was able to make the change quickly.
