After a car accident then having to have open heart surgery I have not being allowed to fish because of medical issues since 2009 but using this site it has kept my enthusiasm for fishing even greater and I am hoping that 2015 will be the time that my doctors allow me to go fishing again.
I have not fished in two years hoping to change that this year with anything ?
