Well, it's spring, and with that, it's time to go through the gear, take stock and restock.
And just as it's time to go through all the gear, it is also time to re-examine the blog and what it offers to you, the reader, and see if more can be done.
With that in mind, I'd like to point out the first of many changes coming to this fishing site. In the upper right corner you'll notice a tab that says "The Tackle Box." Feel free to click on this tab and scroll through the list of area bait and tackle shops (addresses and phone numbers are available for all the stores, and Web links are available for those shops that offer a Web site.
Another change you'll notice is the radar at the top left. Pairing this with the weather, you should be able to get a read on the area weather (although serious anglers probably already have this little detail under control).
The biggest change that will be coming in the next week or so is the addition of Free Press Staff Writer Tanner Kent to the Bass Connection (don't get too attached to that name either, cause it'll probably change too).
Tanner and I have fished together since 2003, and I trust his knowledge of fishing more than most people. We also have the same desire to make this blog site more interactive so that it serves you, the fisherman.
So please be patient and check back regularly — you're bound to see something that has changed.
