The fishing in my area has been really good this year. Each of the places I go to has been productive. Having a good time. I don't need to travel to go fishing because it is very good where I am.     This is the first time I've been on the forums for a while. I already have more gear than I can use so don't take part in testing or buying more. Some of what is on these forums is interesting and once in a while instructive. Looking forward to this fall. Will probably start surf fishing in October. Have caught a lot of nice Reds from the surf.
