this is the very first year I do not have a cabin rented for next year and I do not plan to rent one
I bought a kayak and I'm planning to use it a whole lot
I'm already planning a whole week of kayaking next year
the big difference is; a whole lot more pain in the ass to get to the fish(I like it when it's a lil harder...easy fishing isn't for me) and it cost so much less then renting a cabin...I used to get great deals but they are pretty much gone since the last couple years
I have been getting a whole bunch of different lures, brand, sizes, depth, actions, etc ..I should be good to go no matter what the temperature will be
my kayak is good to go anywhere...a 2 feet wave isn't even scaring me anymore..so yeah!
I used to make payment for my cabin at this time of the year but instead..I'm just buying more lures

+1 for restocking what I lost over the last few years
