For most saltwater anglers, the holidays are a distraction from the end of the season for most species. Once the holidays are over, playoff football is the next distraction. Then that’s over. Then the lull. Boat shows and seminars while enormously useful, don’t really scratch that itch. Sometimes it’s an easy one to get to with some fishing shows on tv and a trip to the tackle shop to buy something you never needed. Sometimes you just can’t get at it.
I’ve talked about special breeds of anglers in past posts. The rockhoppers, the skishers, the night patrol surfcasters are all ones willing to defy logic, comfort, and the elements in their hunt. Well add another breed to that list, those that embrace frozen salty eyebrows and more layers of clothes than some people’s whole wardrobe. Cod’s no summer fish, and this is nothing close to a nice day on the water fishing. Link tot he rest of the story at Fishidy….
