I just got back from my 5th straight skunk, nothing all season. I go fishing to relax and don’t mind a skunk or two but this is driving me crazy. I fish with a rod and reel that I inherited from my grandfather that is too big for my spot and apparently am using just junk. And this morning I didn’t tie off my brand new lure properly and tossed it way out in the river.
I can’t afford a new rod and spent my few dollars that I don’t have dedicated to bills on a few lures and threw it away. At this point I think I’m just about to hang up the rod and watch grass grow since it is cheaper and just as exhilarating now.
Sorry for the rant, I don’t know what to do anymore.

One good place to find fishing rods and reels is Goodwill and/or thrift stores. Wal Mart has hooks. Dig up some and you are good to go.
