A NEW SEASON<br />
It has been a really long, hard and cold winter for many<br />
of us. When that fever sets in, there is actually no oth-<br />
er remedy than catching a fish. We try to sort out our<br />
tackle boxes, we sharpen the hooks, but there is not<br />
much that helps. I guess reading the last magazine did<br />
not help either. Now finally it is here, let us all enjoy a<br />
new season. Season 2013. Let’s catch some big ones.<br />
