HomeblogsIsh Monroe – RandR and ICAST Rest – relaxation and ICAST. Well, you guys didn’t get a blog from me a week before, because I was in Costa Rica. Got some really good R and R; really needed a break; came back refreshed, rejuvenated to head to ICAST; which is a phenomenal show – new Biggie Series Crank Baits going well so it will be available just about everywhere as well as the Bling being available – so, super, super excited about that! Really excited about the new Daiwa products, got a bunch of new reels – made my Samurai braided line even better, which I didn’t think that they could do – and they came out with new rods. Snag-Proof has released my Poppin’ Frog – so check out my Poppin’ Phattie. River2Sea has done an awesome job with the Bumbershoot with John Murray; revamping the Rover with Scott Martin; they did pretty awesome with those baits. So, if you get a chance, check those out. And now, I flew from Florida to Kentucky and now I am driving to New York and the Lake Champlain EverStart. I’ll fish there and then immediately to Nealy Henry for the PAA in Alabama and then to the Snag-Proof Open. And after Snag-Proof Open I am going to get in some more R and R. So, ‘til then, have fun and good fishin’ www.ishmonroe.com
