Ready For 2026…

I am stoked for 2026! Ready to get out there and fish, make plans for outings and trips, and even purchase some new gear. All in due time.

We are still trying to put the finishing touches on the new house and are working with the builder to resolve a few issues. It has been a long process. At least there is light at the end of the tunnel. Since we downsized a bit, getting things to fit has been a challenge. We ended up combining her home office with the fishing room. Most women wouldn’t go for that, but she loves it.

It will definitely be a nice base of operations! And true to form, we already have EuroTackle B-vibe soft plastics on order for the upcoming season. The tariffs have not made it easy to order things from Japan, and we are not happy about that. All of that is way above my pay grade and out of my wheelhouse. Besides, we spent a pile of money on new furniture and things for the house anyway.

All we have to do is make it through the winter and we have it made. And to all who read this…Happy New Year!
