b'HOOKEDKeep your rod bent when fighting fish, dont let the tip stay straight up.SUN PROTECTIONNever forget sun protection! This includes sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses.A buff is also good option at the height of summer.Ive managed to burn my shoulders, face, legs, and back in less than half a day of fishing. I should have just gone sunbathing, which by the way I wasnt. During that trip, I was trying my best to be under some shade all while trying to catch fish, realizing it wasnt even possible. I have never been a fan of sunscreen because of how sticky it feels after application. During that trip, it was the last thing I had in mind since I had to wake up early just to catch the bite times. Here in Godzone, sun protection is the last thing you want to mess with.54FISHING IN GODZONE SEP/OCT 2021'
