Have Itinerary, Will Travel

Have Itinerary, Will TravelVacations are a great way for us to escape. No work for a couple days and no daily routine. Sounds great right? So why would anyone want to put that freedom in jeopardy with creating an itinerary for your vacation?

The truth is there are actually quite a few perks to having a set plan for your trip.

Itinerary: Structured Freedom

Now having a schedule doesn’t sound all that great considering that’s what you’re looking to get away from. But it can help keep you from missing out on certain attractions depending on where you go.

Some places are time sensitive or are best to visit during a certain time.

Having an itinerary could be a good way to make sure you hit everything at the right time to make your vacation as memorable as possible. It will also maximize your vacation potential. As well all know, vacations go by entirely way too fast.

An itinerary will make sure you and whoever you’re traveling with will get where you want to go but still allow you to enjoy yourself.

Keep in mind too that even though it’s a structure to your day, you can always make adjustments accordingly if you spend too much time at one place.

Tips To Bring Home A Northern Pike This Winter

Tips To Bring Home A Northern Pike This WinterIf you fish for Northern Pike, you will most likely hear anglers discussing the best ways to catch them in the middle of winter.

With so many different tips, it can be hard to tell what will and won’t work.

Regardless of what you decide on, the following tips are a great place to start when you decide to hit the ice.

Reel In That Northern Pike

  • Location, Location, Location – When you head out to catch a northern pike, take note of where their food supply is calling. If you are able to find that, the Pike won’t be too hard too far behind.
  • Play The Game – Northern Pike is known to play with anglers bait. If you feel it a tug, don’t reel your line all the way in. Instead, reel in slowly as the Pike may return and bite again. Do this and stay patient and you could just end up with a catch.
  • Get The Right Bait – Don’t even bother with smaller bait when trying to catch a Northern Pike because they won’t either. Make your bait about 6 to 8 inches long. But keep in mind you might have to reel your bait in yourself as most stores don’t carry bait that long.
