Good time to inventory all your stuff, sharpen hooks, clean and lube your reels, check your guides, re-spool your reels, make sure you're not running low on hooks, split rings, etc. Between that, shows, and planning next season winter's over before you know it.

No safe ice down this way yet so the two things I've done this winter are:
A) Go Nuts!!!
B) Pray for strength from above.
Other than that its been a nice off season but it can end anytime now as far as I'm concerned. GLOBAL WARMING...?...YEAH RIGHT! It was -11 degrees yesterday though so maybe that ice will come around before too long.

Take care of all your household chores now, to keep the wife happy. I can then fish all summer with out painting basements, or staining the doors, and all the other fun things I can do now with frozen water.

Head south until you find open season for muskies and open water like we have here in IL

I usally end up doing something stupid like offereing to do the dishes for the first time in 7 years...If thats not bad enough I typically snap a plate in half while doing them and slice my thumb in 3 places. Needless to say, after 15 imaginary stitches I think Im gonna live.
Thumbs up!

How do you snap a plate in half?? Were you imagining that big fish in the dish water and when it ate on the figure 8 you did with the butter knife you tried to set the hook with the plate in hand? LOL!

Ben, I did the same thing only with a bowl. Cut the same area in my hand 2 weeks after I fractured it in football. Still don't have the same grip in my left hand... good thing I'm right handed

Fine tuning equipment, sharpen hooks, make leaders/baits, watch musky fishing videos over and over. Ice fishing helps some, but I think a new XBOX 360 or PS3 might take the edge off the most?

It's called Deer Hunting...Iowa has seasons all through december and into January...seems to transition well...go from hunting muskies to hunting deer right back into hunting muskies... February to March is kind of boring but I suppose you'll have that...
