livinisfishin Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 This year i got out ice fishing a lot more then I normally do, so that killed some of the frustration of not being able to cast . I also spent quite a bit of time at the gym and that was a good way to beat yhe boredom. Now that spring is getting closer I will be pulling out the softwater gear and preparing for a good season where i may actually hook into some fish unlike this winter.

danc Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I keep busy enough with my job to not have to think about the open water season. I've been working away from home since the new year and of course have been doing lots of travelling. Most of my work has been in Terrace Bay, but I'm in Red Lake for a few weeks now. The open water will get here sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camillj Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Two words ... google earth ... never before have you ever been able to 'fly' the area .. look for tribs you didnt know about ... see the real lay of the land in 3D and look for features on land and lakeshore that could hold a clue ... and see hidden back lakes mere meters away from your 'haunting grounds' that you never saw before ... and it just aint the same looking at maps as it is flying the terrian like a video game .... my new 'off-season' pass-time Edited March 20, 2013 by camillj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfisher Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hockey and ice fishing season is over lapped and followed by crappie, then turkey hunting, then trout, then walleye, then bass and musky, then deer hunting, then ice fishing.... repeat. Fortunately there Is only a small gap between ice season and crapoie. That is filled with hockey warching and fishing toy playing. +1 lol Only differance is I gave up on hockey years ago. This time of year is the worst!!!!! snow and ice melt asap please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 insane how many anglers don't fish our year 'round opportunities. bass "only" fisherman are the hardest to understand. Half june, july, august, and september (most end at thanksgiving weekend). well less than half the year for fishing. lets enjoy what nature has to offer ...

lew Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 insane how many anglers don't fish our year 'round opportunities. There's lots more to life than fishing Steve and many folks, me included, think staring at a hole in the ice is about as exciting as 5 pin bowling.

Steve Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 i agree. actually, i'd go five pin bowling before ice fishing. but casting from a boat in december/january/february/march or a pier in the same months - something special to be said for that. work is just as crazy in january as it is in july. therefore a release from work though fishing is just as enjoyable in january as it is in july.
