Stay inside and get ready to fish

This might be a good time to pull out your summer fishing tackle to get a jump-start on preparing it for open-water fishing that starts again in about 60 days. Hey, I know it might seem remote at the moment, but it's coming.

i highly agree with this wisdom. i will be getting my reels lubed and ready for action in about a week. along with making some new crawler harness for walleye and a few perch rigs. did very well on our home made harnesses last year. experimented with alot of color combinations and was able to eliminate the ones that caught only sheepshead.

thanks for the reminder
