Your welcome Mike .... best we all share ways to help the budget minded eh
Hmmm ... well bait co$ts are up; u might try netting your own minnows, or pull your own worms to save a few bucks (fresh is always best eh)!
Sharpen the hooks on some of those old lures collecting dust and rust, instead of buying new ones .... they probably work better at catchin' fish anyway ...
Cash in those empties you have layin' around the garage ... you'll get some xtra points from wifey eh! PS. hide the paint and rollers ... she might get the idear you need to finish the job you started last spring!
Hope to wet a line this weekend ... hope you do too!
Good Luck
