Super User Montanaro Posted January 5, 2014 Super User Posted January 5, 2014 Past two days have been warm...went to the small local lake...still frozen. So I deal with it by shopping and working on my gear 1 Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 i buy new lures, put fresh line on my reels, look on google maps for new spots, spy on birds (cool photos: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/129090-during-the-dead-winter-when-i-cant-fish/), scout out new ponds, buy new gear, dream about spring, watch videos of people fishing, post on this website... 5 Quote

Todd2 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 This site helps. I've organized my tackle, worked on the boat, and am reading as much as I can about fishing structure. 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 Well right now I'm just trying to stay warm. 2 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 My wife says I deal with it by driving her nuts. 2° here this morning. Supposed to fall to -4° by noon, with an overnight low tonight of -11°. This is Cincinnati by the way, you know,.... the home of the comedy team known as the "Cincinnati Bengals". Hootie 5 Quote
Fish'N Impossible Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Nice to see a fellow Ohioan here. To pass the time I generally do PM's on gear (reels and rods), organize, repair, inventory, and eliminate/introduce tackle. Read forums, do research Google maps and navionics app is great for IDing New spots. And just to keep things interesting annoy the wife till she starts being as excited for fishing season to start as I. Quote
aceman387 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Hang around this site as much as possible. Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 I keep pretty busy working 2 jobs, being home with my family, and am trying to finish my MBA by June. When I find time I ski and read Bassresource! Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 I really don't deal well ... LOL. I am on this site regularly. I am studying up on Jigs. Went as far as to pour, paint and skirt my jigs, reorganized my tackle. Sell some stuff I don't need or want. It still isn't fishing and it drives me nuts not having a outlet in the winter. Unfortunately as much as want to like ice fishing it doesn't cut it for me. Too stationary for me. Quote

jhoffman Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Hunt scout for next years seasons. Start finding turkeys, do habitat work. My outdoors lifestyle never stops. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 Get indoor projects done around the house. It's a perfect time to get them done. Keeps the wife happy. Who wants to work indoors when the weather is nice? 2 Quote
BassmanDan Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Break out the flippin stick, jig and coffee cup for a little living room practice. The dog and wife give me the same "you're doing that again?" look. I'm surprised no one has mentioned all of the good books on bassfishing...I guess it is the internet age, but there's plenty of good reading material out there if you go old school. Quote
CDMeyer Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I go to school, workout, homework and then research and fine tune my gear..... always looking to get better EVERDAY Quote
EddieCollins Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I buy new gear clean all my reels and rods, put new line on, watch youtube videos nonstop, read new things and post on different bass forums. Other than that.. I just cry.. 1 Quote
