When I'm actually considering casting a Shack Attack 14 oz. bait this weekend even though my wrist and elbow are already sore from cranking #10 double blades for 12 hours yesterday!!
When I don't have to put in much ice in the cooler for beer, because there is going to be a high of 35 degrees on Friday!

| You know you're fishing in late Fall when you pass Deer hunters on the way to the lake. That kills me every time. |

Location: WESTERN WI | ...I start packing handheaters and extra propane canisters for my Coleman Heater which completes my "defrost area" in the boat.
...I fill one Thermos with hot chocolate and one with soup to keep my core warm with.
...a bag of kitty litter is always in the truck to get out of icey boat landings.
...all the leaves on the waters surface are cursed since they make it near impossible to run topwater baits.
...every cast has 50" pig, written all over it.

| When you have to keep your beer WARM in the garage for when you get off the water.
Up here, we pass just as many deer hunters ON the lakes and rivers as on the roads.
The first Frozen Snot Jacket Brooch. *Not to be confused with Frozen-Dip-Spit-Boat-Pinstriping or Frozen-Dip-Spit-Trailer-Fender-Decals.
I change baits once a wknd.
Quite shaving Wednesday morning. By Friday, you've got a warming chin strap nicley started. Strictly a class move, irregardless of marital and/or career status.
Get off the water on Saturday night and flip between NHL, ALCS/NLCS or the Weather Channel. Don't bother. You'll be out cold within thirty minutes anyway.
People in the plazas, stores, gas stations repeatedly tell you you're nuts. You're going fishing and they're working or worse, shopping. Who's nuts again? |
