Why fishing trips go awry...

Have you ever been on a discombobulated fishing trip - one where everything goes wrong from the very beginning and only gets worse? Some call it the ripple affect when you forget one thing, don抰 bring another, and before you know it, a storm catches you by surprise or a big fish gets away.

There are a host of reasons why fishing trips go awry. The biggest culprits are poor planning and a lack of organization, which is usually associated with spur of the moment trips. That is why fishing equipment should be stored in one place, routinely maintained, and a mental or written checklist should be reviewed before the trip.

Some of the most common pitfalls:
* Forgetting to set the alarm
* Not checking the weather
* Underestimating the chill factor
* Not wearing appropriate clothing for conditions
* Expired fishing license
* Locating an open bait shop at five in the morning

Don抰 neglect items that require regular maintenance:
* Clean and lubricate reels.
* Replace line at least once a year, or when opaque, or the spool is low.
* Maintain fluid levels in engine, and batteries.
* Keep boat batteries fully charged.
* Check boat trailer tire pressure.

Do Not Forget List:
* Coast Guard approved safety equipment
* Map, chart or GPS of fishing grounds
* Hat, sun glasses, insect spray, suntan lotion
* Rods, reels, tackle
* Landing net
* Cell phone, camera
* Gas, oil, ice, food and drink
* Keys
* Boat trailer jack, spare tire and wheel bearings
* Assure drain plug is secure
