Saw a new commercial I like. Like many of the best ones, this is a Rapala commercial:

“Anything to drink?”

“Water!”

Bwaaaaahahahahaha!

If you are like me, you sometimes need to catch up with the latest and greatest products and lingo. Yes a Ned BLT is needed too!

We have open water in most of the state. I have no recent catches to tell you about, but I am hearing a few reports! Wait for a warm afternoon and get out on the water! Until then, you might have to visit your local tackle shops and stock up! Do not forget to pull through the Minnow King while you are at it!

Have a great weekend!
