Frozen rod guides are the most annoying issue on God's blue water when fish are eating on the Mo in cool weather. I've heard of a bunch of ideas to slow the pain of glacial rod guides. These include petroleum jelly, Loon's Ice off Paste, and now Mitch thinks Pam's a good idea. Pam...does not sound like a good idea. Mitch has lots of ideas that I question. However, I am willing to try his Pam trick today, and will report later. In the mean time, here's a little story about Mitch... Day 1 Baja: Mitch came along on our Baja trip to try to land Roosters from the beach's off the Sea of Cortez (we were successful) like a lot of people have in recent years. We flew in to Cabo and got this crazy taxista who was telling us all about how he just got out of jail, he didn't have a lisence, and he couldn't drop us off at the front of the lodge because he would get in trouble for taking money for his service...wow. We finally got close to our fly fishing lodge where we would be for the week which was just outside of Los Barilles and La Riviera. Upon seeing the bay, Mitch yelled out, "Wow guys! Look at all the sailboats!" in a very loud and excited tone. Everyone on the trip, including our taxista stopped and turned to look at all the boats. No boats. There were no sail boats, no yachts, no kayaks, nothing on the water...not even waves. We all turn and look at Mitch puzzled and he responded, "I thought I saw a bunch of sailboats." ??? Yep...that's our boy Mitch. Chinook winds are making it feel warmer today. We are going fishing on the Mo. Cornfed is getting the boat ready. Fishing report will follow.
