I know it's the middle of winter when….

… I start roughing out multiple fish species openers on multiple waters combined with turkey and grouse seasons and adding them to my calendars. I also start to get an idea as to day trips and possible overnighters for fins and/or feathers. This about the time I start to wonder if I should splurge on a fly-in or at least a very remote extended trip. The family summer vacation options. Do I need/want to replace any equipment and even what's "new" that I might want to try.

 

How about you?

Hey, I'm a goalie dad, I need lots of things to keep me from thinking about the next play-off game.

I also start going over lake and crown land maps to find new spots.

Wait til the gear gets MORE expensive. Those trips will be on the later list.

Currently I can only dream about fishing, I am no longer foolish enough to attempt it! I do remember the good old days though, trying to get 30 - 50 guys to agree on some sort of a bass tournament schedule that was workable, trying to piece together info on open tournaments, planning a road trip to Toledo - Michigan to hit the tackle stores and stock up for the upcoming season, trying get vacations and tournaments to align, seeing what fun fishing options people were working on.
