I had a shot break the other day between some work downtown and a meeting so I thought I would run over to a fishing supply store to pick up some new Maxima for my spey rod and 9 wt for steelhead. Since the GI Joes next to my house closed I have not had good access to bait fishing supplies so I went over to Fisherman’s Marine & Outdoor since it was close. It was like the fishing section at a Cabelas on overdrive. They had a forty foot long aisle that was just bobbers. Hooks as big as my forearm for catching what I don’t know—sea monsters, whales? I thought that fly shops had way to many choices but this was just goofy. And, yes, I found my Maxima near what looked like pickled squids.
