    Is it Spring Yet?

     Holy crap am i sick of winter...been keeping myself busy with building rods, plugs and tying flies but enough is enough!  Snow today for a bit and they are calling for a "wintry mix" later this week with lows in the 20s. 

    Maybe i'll put the grips and reel seat on the new 12wt i'm building tonight...question is...do i put the forward Cigar grip on it or do i just go with the full wells?  8 weeks ago, there wouldn't have been a maybe at the front of this paragraph but after a while, even building rods doesn't do it.  Stripers are in southern jersey...maybe i should just hop in the car and be done with it.

    5 weeks to go from past log books...can i wait that long?

    I feel for you brother. You can come down our way, the stripers are still in the light line. Caught 10 Tuesday night between 15 and 22 lbs. Pretty nice class of fish. Looks like the weather is going to suck for the next couple of days. I have a 12wt Sage with a fore grip, seems to be overkill to me. Foregrip seems like it is better on a 14 or 16 wt were you really have alot of lifting power.
