Tackle Warehouse Buy ‘n Try – Late 2026
Retirement has a funny way of speeding things up and slowing them down all at once. One minute I’m wrapping up a career and the next I’m standing on the edge of everything I said I’d finally make time for. This means chasing fish in places I have always heard about, other places Pete has fished and even more places that Pete and I find on our journeys. What I have realized is there is still a big gap on my plate.
This year already feels like it has lasted a lifetime. Guatemala was everything and more that we could have asked for -- the group we put together was just amazing and the fishing, which we never thought we could have surpassed from our last November 2024 trip, somehow hit new heights. The numbers were through the roof.
In less than two weeks we’ll be in Panama. That’s another full house to celebrate my first post-retirement trip going into my retirement. When I come home, I won’t have to go to “someone else’s” office.
But despite those exotic journeys, I am anxious to go bass fishing. I haven’t been bass fishing since last May.
The last trip to Grosse Savanne was amazing but it’s a far away memory at this point. Bass fishing is my first love and I plan to fix this long-term absence sooner rather than later.
I am going to start fresh. I want to buy a handful of new baits and try them out – possibly lures that I’ve seen the pros fish or something that I think is cute and/or ugly.
Here is what I will be purchasing. Think I will be successful? Buy some for yourself, get them wet and let me see what you catch.
The real goal is to get back on the water. One of those places I have to get back to is Grosse Savanne. If you’d like to join us at “the closest thing to a sure thing” in bass fishing, let me know.
