Is planning, making reservations packing, tying flies, building leaders, waxing rods, dressing lines, greesing boat trailer bearings, checking camera gear and everything else that goes into getting ready for a long fishing trip about as much fun as the trip intself?

Completely agree.

I've already started making a checklist for a trip in August.

It's all part of fishing! Good times for sure.

I just love bearing grease! Especially when it gets in my nose.

You notice the price of lodging rentals? Up about 20% across the board. Anyone know any bargains on the TX Gulf Coast? Or looking to share in, say, Port Mansfield, Arroyo City or PA? New moon weekdays.
