Shipping Delays And Tackle Shortages To Continue |
|
As of Monday, there were 62 ships berthed at the two ports and 81 waiting to dock and unload, according to the Marine Exchange of Southern California.
Commitments by the Los Angeles port's operator, longshoremen and several large retail and shipping companies are expected to help relieve the backlog. Walmart, FedEx, UPS, Samsung, The Home Depot and Target made commitments to unload during off-peak hours, making it easier for the LA port to operate nonstop and reduce the bottleneck. The backup has caused a delay in shipping for items including fishing tackle, electronics, and boating accessories. Expect continued shipping delays and empty pegs in your local retailers to continue for the foreseeable future.

SPRO Aruku Shad Bags 8 Point Buck |
|
Darren Gates was fishing a SPRO Aruku Shad on Lake Jacksonville in Central Illinois several years ago when he scored an unexpected catch. the Macon, Illinois angler hooked the carcass of a deceased buck with an impressive rack.
"I was fishing a lipless bait down the bank when I got snagged," said Gates, who owns his own plumbing company. "When I trolled up to get my bait back, I thought I had snagged a tree limb at first. That's when I realized that it was a deer antler that was attached to an entire deer." Initially, Gates planned on taking the head home with him for a European mount, but once he drug the deer to shallower water the smell became too much and he decided to leave with just a few pictures.

5. Baits Not Being Talked About |

The first thing you may notice about the Picasso AMart Circuit Shaker Pro Vibrating Jig is the translucent, ultra-thin blade that is lightweight, and provides the added benefit of a more stealthy presentation than the traditional flashy, highly visible, metal materials often used. This makes a great choice for targeting those finicky, highly pressured fish or showing them something different that they are not accustomed to seeing. Picasso's unique coffin shape ‘lightening blade” provides a super-fast, tight swimming action with an intense rapid fish attracting vibration. Check out the full lineup here.
