Fathers Day

What do you do when your nose goes on strike? Picket.

Odds favor, your father figure taught you everything you know about being outdoors. In return, you put up with the bad jokes, limited cooking options and an endless array of stories about walking to school barefoot in the snow.

But you’ll always remember the first time he put a fishing rod in your hand, let you help catch bait, drive the boat or land a fish. For the rest of your life you’ll carry those lessons about the outdoors that drive your passion and help mold you into the person you are now. Some, day, you’ll pass that wisdom and knowledge on to your kids.

One day, you’ll wake up, say something corny and think, “damn, I’ve turned into my dad.” And you’ll realize all the sacrifices he made, the wisdom he shared and the love he bestowed on his family.

Before you know it, you’ll be the one saying, “Hi hungry, I’m dad.”

So here’s to all the fathers, step fathers, and father figures who taught us about fishing and being outdoors. Who set the fires in our hearts that added stoke to our lives and flushed water through our gills. You’re more fishy today because your father figure took the time to point you towards the water.

Father’s Day is coming. It’s the 16th of June, in case you’re so broke you can’t afford to pay attention. We’ve got some great gifts for the outdoorsman dads. Things that’ll make their lives a lot easier, more fun and possibly even better their outdoor experiences. Things that will remind him of the connection between the two of you and the outdoors.

Wisdom comes from experience, and odds favor the father figure in your life was the one who set you on your course to be a fishing Jedi. Whether he took you fishing for the first time or the last, you can enhance he rest of his outdoor experiences with some cool gear from Bajío.

From telling corny jokes to sponsoring your fast food habits, dad’s been there for you. So this Father’s Day, let’s tip a few cold ones with the old man as he waxes poetic on past fishing trips from the comfort of his personal recliner.

It’s just a matter of time before you’re the one changing diapers, humping all the gear and slinging zingers at the crumb snatchers around your feet. So why not build some more great outdoor memories with the Daddy-O before he’s loses some of his go-go.
