It seems as though it's been forever since my last post , I've definitely been slacking this month. To be honest between the weather and the Holidays I just havn't had the opportunity to get out on the water or even spend much time at the tying desk. I'm hoping to change that after the first of the year and have a couple trips in the works for the month of January already.
Seeing as I'll be stuck at work every day between now and January 1st , I'm obviously not going to have anything resembling a current trip report to post so I thought I'd do a quick picture laden recap of 2013. I've done this in years past when time allowed but thought I'd put a new spin on it this year...I'm going to let my best fishing buddy narrate this one. While the most and largest fish of the year might not have been caught on these trips with Joe , hands down each and every outing would still be at the top of my list of favorites. Good company trumps great fishing every time.
