Where is The Time Going?

Hi Folks,

How has your summer been going?

Have you had much time for fishing?

I sure haven’t! I’ve been so busy with work that I haven’t gotten the chance to get out on the lake or stream.
Consequently, I haven’t been posting much about fresh water fishing here!

My older son left back in June to join the US Navy and so that’s one less voice to prod me into making the time to go fishing. But my younger son still asks me every once in a while.

So since I can’t recount any fishing tales here, how about some of you post a reply and let us all know how you’re making out fishing?

I’d sure love to hear some good freshwater fishing stories!

I’ll try and get some time to pull out the ole trusty rod and reel and let you know how I made out as soon as I can.

In the mean-time, have a great summer and may your creels be full.
(Does anybody even use a creel anymore? Do you all know what a creel is?)

Catch you later.

What Freshwater Fishing Rod Do You Use?

Wow! It’s been quite a while since I’ve made a post. So lets get right to it.

I was reading about a new fishing rod made by “Element 21” that actually uses some bio-technology to add carrot fibers into the rod creation process! Can you believe that? Very cool.

I’ve used my good ole trusty Garcia Mitchell for about forty years and it hasn’t ever failed me. It was top of the line and is a lite-ultralite rod. It makes it very easy casting the light lures I like to use and I’ve landed some nice 5-6 lb fish on it.

But after reading about these new “Carrot Stix” fishing rods, I’m tempted to buy one and check them out. So I was wondering if any of my readers have any experience with these new rods? If you do, please post a comment here and let me know how you like it? I would really appreciate it!

If you’ve never heard of these rods (like me, before today) you can check them out at their site. Just click on the link below:

Carrot Stix Fishing Rods

From what I’ve read, they just signed a distribution agreement with “Dick’s Sporting Goods” so they should be fairly easy to find in the very near future!

So come on guys/gals and share your experiences with these new and interesting rods please.

Catch you later.
