5/9/2012

Wow, the past few months have really been busy.  Trying to sort tackle, respool reels, get the boat ready, and all that kind of fun stuff, not to mention the Bass Expo, the Maple Lake clean up, and trying to lobby for the recent DNR bill.  Luckily, I've been able to get out a couple of times this spring down on Pool 2 of the Mississippi and wet some lines. It's hard to believe it's already the Minnesota fishing opener this Saturday and I hope to get out and go "largemouth pike" fishing since the bass season doesn't open for a couple more weeks.  The Maple Lake clean up and MN Bass Expo were successful for the Renegade Bassers. We represented our sponsors well, especially Culprit (http://www.culprit.com/), Leena Lures (http://www.leenalures.com/), and Outkast Tackle (http://www.outkasttackle.com/) and we managed to gain another member as well (welcome to the club Andy). I was hoping things would slow down a little bit last month, but between family responsibilities and club responsibilities, I haven't had a chance to get ahead.  Heck, I just finally sent in my GreenHorn Bass Tour application (hopefully Ryan and I can kick some butt) and our first club tournament is less than a month away.  Well, so long for now, hopefully we'll see you on the water.

Darin.
