I'm Done...

I hear you WM.... It's a terrible addiction, we need a recovery center for us.. Lol it's time for a intervention

Yeah the bait monkey tore me a new one this winter. Rods/reels and more baits than I can count. I actually had to hang another 4x8 peg board in the garage to house all of the stuff. It is not usually this bad but I sold some items that gave me quite a bit of extra cash. Now I cannot seem to find that extra cash I had on hand. I believe it may be stuck to the wall.

WHITE MIKE, GUYS & GALS, KIDS, CHILDREN, BABIES,

Please listen very carefully were never done its like buying toilet paper we can stop or go with out it.

I have a ton of tackle and mainly fish from shore. When I find let's say a crankbait that's hot I purchase every color to cover every water and light condition. I buy enough for the fear of it being discontinued. Trust me purchasing hard and soft baits never ends. Inbetween I like to try and test newer baits too. If it works great as another fish catcher I purchase many of those in different colors and sizes sometimes too.

Every time my rate of success is up I feel the need to purchase more baits. I'm happy, happy and want to try more baits. Also keep in mind when I have success with one bait I buy and give them to my family members too. This way they have success too.

My youngest son has a nack for fishing. I show him a new lure and explain to him how to present it and he has success right away with every lure. I keep on telling him he should be fishing as a non boater to start off with but does he listen nope.

I guess you didn't read the fine print,  number 1. The Bait Monkey owns you, number 2. You shall bow down to the Bait Monkey  , number 3. You shall pay your dues to the Bait Monkey (i.e. spending your pay check on tackle)   number 4. If you want to leave the Bait Monkey, you have to get jumped out.

You know after how you described this.... They say there is no better feeling in the world then giving people gifts. If you got to much tackle I could use some gifts. Win win!

Look at it this way, you could be addicted to alot worse. Embrace it. We both know the addiction isn't going anywhere.

I love all these responses, they make me feel better about using so much of my and my parents money. But it's all true no use in fighting it, it will always come back even worse. I've found the best way to control it is to just stay out of the big stores and try to go to shows and flea markets where they have better deals than these large corporation stores.
