Welcome back my socially distanced Yak fans. Wow, what a ride we’ve been on, to say the least. For those of you who know me, you probably noticed I haven’t been at the bait shop for the last three weeks or is it four–I’m losing track of time. It was funny that one of the few businesses that’s really doing well besides grocery stores and toilet paper manufacturers, is bait shops! So, with the wife and kids telling me that with my bad habits and (I hate to admit it) my age this thing would probably kill me–so I’m staying safe.
The only good thing is that our sport is socially distancing by its very nature and the fishing has been good. The cobia are moving in and the reds are plentiful. The warmer temps put the snook on the feed, so get out there and provide for your family. This isn’t going to be a long article this month–I can’t find a lot of humor in our present situation, and I know many people are financially struggling to get by. With the exception of my son, the fireman, all of my children are furloughed. However, they and we will survive this! God bless, good luck, and go fishing.
