The Best Thing About This Winter

[hoosierbass07]

 I'm hoping this really cold and snowy winter will bring a normal spring and summer and fall later in the year.

Have to say that speeding up my Master's program and landing a ton of side-work is keeping me from thinking about not being able to fish right now.  With any luck I'll make some time to ski too.  

 

Luckily, for those late nights after the family's asleep and at the Firehouse, there's still Bassresource.com

best thing about this winter for me is i dont feel the need to buy anymore new gear or tackle. eventually i probably will end up with a few new lures, but i havent been actively looking for anything specific. normally around mid-february i will make a trip to BPS, so i will probably end up with a few things then provided i make the trip this year to Anne Arundel Mills BPS in Hanover, MD. Otherwise i got plenty of plastics and line to get me through the year, may get a few extra bags of plastics i use a lot but dont really need to.

 

also, the urge to go fishing hasnt really hit me yet, im sure it will soon enough though. i was thinking about it pretty good while laying around sick last week, but that has since passed...

I can think of only two good things about this, or any other winter.

 

1.  I save about a hundred dollars per week on gasoline by not hauling the boat around to the various fishing holes.  Fuel for the boat is minimal by comparison.

 

2.  I get stuff done around the house which keeps my bride happy, and more importantly quiet during the fishing season.

 

Good point. I don't have a boat, but point 2 is spot on.

Saw that you guys up in the Northern states had a Polar vortex or something.... Being at 30 deg South on the Indian Ocean we have very mild weather in Winter. This allows us to fish all year round. I read the thread one member posted about ice fishing for perch, very interesting and something very foreign to us.

Hunting season is the only good thing about winter.

More snow and cold weather came in last night. Nuts.

cold weather is killin me. hasn't been much above 20 degrees at its warmest. ive resorted to pitching across my living room to the bucket we put our Christmas tree in. more snow is predicted in the coming days

Making enough baits to choke a horse. I just made a mold of the "unappealing otter" it's not ugly by any means. But it sure looks that way.

Whenever it ends...

Only good thing about winter is being able to have the time to clean your gear and perfect everything for next season. My boat has been gone through top to bottom.

 

Oh and every cold day means the bass will be that much hungrier come spring

Two more days of sleet, snow, & freezing rain!

Bye Bye Giant Salvinia!!!

Fly Fishing on a limestone trout stream in 25 degree air temperatures with snow falling all around you and no one else in sight is one of the true joys in all of fishing. I welcome winter every year (as well as Spring (Smallmouth), Summer (Musky), Fall (Smallmouth & Musky))

Ice fishing for walleye when it's not rediculously cold out here in WI. It's the only way I can make it through winter.
