I must say that fishing hasn’t been easy this year and as a matter of fact for those shore bound like me. I’m batting 0 for 3 and I am trying to remove the funk of not catching a fish in winter. It’s perhaps my biggest fishing related peeve right now and it irks me that I hooked and lost what would have been:
1) The first fish caught in 2008
2) First bass caught in winter and
3) First fish caught on a jig.
Oooohh that gets me steaming like Yosemite Sam.
Fortunately, I have found comfort in making some lures that will be auctioned off at my daughter’s school auction. I made two sets of five inline spinners. Here is one set:
This set of 3 I made tonight:
I love my “Patriot� pattern of Red, White, and Blue bucktail.
Too bad they wouldn’t fare well as a Valentine’s gift! " alt="conf:" title="Confused" />
Same with drugs. The only way to solve the drug problem is to eliminate the drug.

Very interesting problem solving, all or nothing. The government can not totally eliminate drinking and driving, drug use etc. and not naive enough to believe that banning drugs and alcohol will work. Therefore, I assume tolerance and acceptance is your way of dealing with these problems, rather than increased deterrents and punishments? ribly stiff laws against drinking and driving which helps coerce all who are drunk to have the barkeep call them that cab. BTW thier drunken driving convictions per capita are beyond low.......... ctive February 16 until March 31(closed April 1 through May 31). Selective gear rules apply, internal combustion motors allowed. Unlawful to fish from a floating device while under power. Release all fish except up to two hatchery steelhead may be retained per day.
