After getting laid off last year, its been 18 months since I've been fishing. I couldn't even touch my rods or tackle. I was outside yesterday and my wife brought a rod out to me and dared me to make a cast. I did and didn't have a backlash. Spent about 20 minutes pitching at things in the yard. IT FELT GOOD. Like they say,"Just like riding a bike". Baby steps I know but maybe, just maybe I'll get out this year.
