Strike King Lures

Strike King Lures

Summer has become a distant memory and the cold crisp days of fall are upon us. Many fishermen have winterized their boats on pilings with shrink wrap, and their fishing rods are in storage for the winter. With deer season upon us many who fished in July and August are now out with their rifles.

Yet, there are those of us who will put on our long john’s, our LL Bean jackets and boots and get out in the boat for some fall fishing. It is a joy to be on a lake or the bay with the colorful fall leaves and brisk air, getting wet and cold but going for that elusive see bass or crappie. To us, the idea of winterizing our boat is as foreign as going to Florida to ski or going to Norway to swim.

As the deer mate and the bears prepare for hibernation, we are rigging our Strike King Lure through the tree. As fair weather anglers prepare to mow down a buck we are the one four-wheeler at the boat dock in a deserted park. We are the ones that airplane passengers and pilots see as a tiny dot as they fly over the bay or river. When at work or alone we dream of casting our Ugly Sticks with Strike King Lures into the deep clear waters.
