   Walked into my favorite retailer this week. The manager, who knows me, told me quietly that if there was anything I saw that I might need, that I should get it now and don't delay. He mentioned  multiple unanswered orders from his suppliers, and said that he's afraid it won't get better quickly enough to re-energize the season.

   I don't know. After all, it's just his opinion.        jj 

I've been hearing grumbles about tackle shortages already and some things are showing a pretty stern backorder date. Some of it is going to be extra backlog from pandemic + Chinese New Year, but I am buying everything I need now just to be safe.

That IS my help...I'm an old-fart with a failing memory. This lets me keep track and not order something I already have.

It's the healthiest way I have found to pass the cold season, and while I don't quite qualify as old, I've been blown up 4 times and I don't remember things as well as I should anymore, in addition I work 70+ hours a week so anything I can do to increase the efficiency of my off time means I get to spend my precious small amount of it fishing rather than looking for lures or hoping I have this or that.

 

I also cannot afford to both support my hobbies and pay for therapy, one of them had to go and I wasn't about to agree to stop fishing lol.
