Does anyone else buy fishing gear to fill, The void of fishing??

[Putaforkinya]

Seriously.
It's only March and since I can't bass fish and the boat is tucked away in find my self buying lures, rods, and reels that I probably don't need lol.

Is it June yet?

[fishermansc]

you are not alone !!!!


but when the fishing picks up (basically, any time after June) I cant find the time to shop around for fishing equipment. I use the "calm before the storm" to stock up on fishing gear that I probably don't need. So when June finally comes around I already have a tackle shop worth of gear in my garage.

I'm the same way, amazon and a couple other sites have taken a few of my $ lately.
Rods, reels, and a few toys for the boat. Hurry up ice out!

[1madcrappies]

Lol I'm also like that type of person to buy bass gears right after the bass season's over and wait a whole year even use the dam thing and lately been buying same thing twice because I always missed placed it when need it never seem to find it

[Goshawk]

Ain't that the truth!? I currently have 2 separate packages on the way from Amazon and another one from Bass Pro.....that makes an even dozen shipments that I've had since November!!

I am glad I'm not the only one. This thread needs to be shown to our other halves so they know we're not crazy lol

[Seguin Fisher]

My wife is fine with my "disease", but I'll bet some of the posters on this thread would $?@! a brick if their better halves saw this thread

[fishfood]

I buy new lures almost every week I grab something for fishing.
It's an addiction worse than crack.

[fishmagnet]

I too love collect lures and especially jigs but I truly could stock a fishing store.. Lol
So I only look for deals now but I'm always looking to save some money...

I feel like everything somewhat aligns for people to bulk spend their money in March. You've been ice fishing for a few months and now safe ice is harder to find and you're ready for the boat. Many local tackle shows are in march where you can see some of the new line ups, there are a few days of double digit warmness and lastly you have the bassmaster classic sales at basspro and tackle warehouse to make sure you don't make it through march with out a considerable credit card bill.

conspiracy??!!

[papafishr]

LOL Just got back from Bass Pro

[Chevy]

In a nutshell..... guilty

[metalbuckle]

Been to BassPro twice already this month and even ordered online. I really don't think I will actually have time to try all these new lures. O well makes me happy buying them and thinking about using them.. LOL

And I will say, the worst is bass fishing lures, I keep buying fogs, swimbaits, tubes, worms, chatter baits, crankbaits, ugh.. They all look so nice...

[swiftdeer]

Totally guilty. Can't pass by lures without buying something even if I don't need it. Though luckily was in bass pro today and though I wandered the lures isles for almost an hour I resisted the temptation. Man they need something like a lure patch!

[Putaforkinya]

You all definitely sound as bad as me. But I have heard Rumblings that there is a Bass Pro Shops opening up in the Milton or halton Hills area which is closer for me and could spell trouble for my pocket. Does anyone know if these are Rumblings are true ??
