It really doesn’t get better than fishing with your family.
Does it? I mean there’s really nothing more pure than
the time you spend on the water, without the everyday
distractions of your phones, tablets and TV’s. Maybe I’m
being nostalgic because I just spent the last 2 weeks at our
lake house with the family or maybe it’s the ceremony I
randomly witnessed where a family spread the ashes of a
loved one into the lake. either way, fishing is so intertwined
into the fabric of our families because it bring us together
in the purest form that there is. Thanks for letting me get
all personal with you for a sec.
Ok… woo hoo! another issue of Fishhound Magazine
means another box full of baits and the happiest day of the
month. Your mailman either loves you because it’s the one
day of the month you’re smiling when he shows up or he
throws your box on your porch and runs in fear that you’re
going to tackle him, again. either way we got a great issue
in store for you. The Bassmaster elite Series is coming
to a close and we’ve got Dean Rojas gracing the cover
and giving you what could be his angler Of The Year tips
to catch more fish. He’s a great guy and this could, quite
possibly, be my favorite featured story yet. Big shout out
to Mike Pehanich for writing such a great article. go check
out his website www.SmallWatersFishing.com. He’s got
awesome stuff.
This month we’re giving away some fishing rods from
Daiwa Corporation and who doesn’t need another rod?
Ok you probably don’t need another rod, but we’d all
sure love a brand new one. So here’s your chance. grab
your Lucky Tackle Box and take a picture with it. Upload
it to our Facebook or Instagram page and tag it with
#LuckyTackleBox. That’s it! It’s so simple and you can
upload as many pictures as you want. So do it all month long
and you might end up with a free Daiwa fishing rod worth
$125. So what are you waiting for… go upload a pic now!
as always be safe on the water & we’ll see you next month.
Cheers,
