Its time to start getting ready to hit the water again full force. The fishing in the LLM never really stops, but does like most winter fishing in Texas...slows down. Nows the time to check out those things that we don't think about until it causes us a problem.
Lures.......this is a great time to wash and change hooks. I like to remove hooks, scrub my hard baits with brillo pads and replace all the trebles with either new ones or single circle hooks. Spoons need to be polished and hooks replaced. Take your soft baits and make sure they haven't mixed with other softs that can cause then to breakdown. Check your jig heads and sharpen hooks. I like to add snap rings and swilves to my jigheads...really helps the action.
Reels........Clean, clean, clean and lubricate. Great time to replace that line...maybe try that new braid you always wanted to use!
Rods..........Check and replace broken, cracked, missing eyes. This is a quick way to lose that trophy fish. Lubricate that reel seat!
Tackle Boxes.......It may be time to downsize! I've found that I have way too much STUFF!
More later!
