Super User J Francho Posted January 9, 2011 Super User Posted January 9, 2011 Try ice fishing for panfish. You don't even need a house, in fact you'll catch more fish without one, instead drilling a bunch of holes and moving around. All you really need is a gas auger, a graph, and a couple rods. Gas augers and graphs are for sissies Quote

Gas augers and graphs are for sissies I get to go ice fishing in march on spring break sometimes. Gotta wade through some open water, break through the ice until i get to some thick enough to stay on top of, then make a hole in about 5 FOW with a hand auger. You'll be surprised how hard the last few inches of ice are that late in the year...especially with dull blades ;D Quote
clipper Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Write down your wife's honeydo list, knock it out, check it off and keep it on the frig until ice-out. When she complains about you going fishing next spring, point to the completed honeydo list. Give Blood Volunteer at a homeless shelter Take your kids ice skating Cook breakfast next Saturday morning before your wife gets up Take down the Christmas tree(mine is still up) Take the dog to the vet since his shots are 9 months overdue Clean up the basement or garage... Time goes by faster when you are busy Quote
tnbassfisher Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Well I've spent my Sunday afternoon looking through about 15 various fishing magazines. It really didn't help the cabin fever, just made me want to go fish even more. Quote
DeanFishesNY Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 ice fish. buy a cheap hand auger and cheap little jigging pole and go catch some fish. I was out this morning for a couple hours before work and caught 10 or so bluegills. I even know of a pond I catch bass consistently thru the ice. Quote

Super User senile1 Posted January 12, 2011 Super User Posted January 12, 2011 If you already have new line on your reels and ice out isn't until March you'll have plenty of memory on your reels spooled with Fluorocarbon, mono, and co-polymer lines by then. You can always change your line again. Quote
