What do you do as the weather gets too cold to fish?

Have you already respooled all your rods? Repaired all your damaged
equipment? fogged and stored your boat?

I tie flies. I have a little cubbyhole in the basement
and I'll pour two fingers of Laphroaig into a tumbler
and disappear down there until I've cranked out a dozen
flies.

I won't be doing any bass fishing for awhile but Minnesota
winter season opens New Years Day on the Southeast Trout
Streams so I'll be going up there sometime in January. In
the winter the fish become active during the warmest part
of the day and will sometimes take tiny little Griffith's
Gnats and midges. The fishing is slow but the good thing
is, no crowds. ;-)

I'm lucky, I get to fish year round if I so choose. Warm(er) days during
December-January here (central NC) can find lake fish biting anywhere from
brush piles on deep flats to up near the bank near or on submerged creek
beds - especially near where creeks or other runoff waters come into the
lake, and often create a small warm water discharge area.

And from the beginning of December through January, we can head out to the
coast and hit the striped bass that run along most of our coast during that
time. Usually we go up to Oregon Inlet (North of Cape Hatteras) to put in
and we'll fish from Cape Hatteras to the South all the way up to near the VA
line above Kitty Hawk and Corolla to the North.

And of course, February is nearly the best month around these parts to find
"big" bass. As big as bass as we can get here in NC with the lack of Florida
strain fish anyway...

Vegetate, watch football, do sudoku puzzles and bitch about winter.

It is about 15 degrees and snowing here in SE Michigan. I am waiting for
the water to freeze so we can fish. Meanwhile, I visit Bass Pro, Gander
Mtn, Dick's, Orvis, etc. and just walk around, perhaps buying some small
thing once in a while.

I am holding off on organizing the tackle boxes for deeper in the winter
season. I am also holding off buying the SWL pro pack, the standout hooks,
and the new fluorocarbon line until I get absolutely desparate to do
something related to fishing.

I have noticed pics of the standout hooks in articels in the last two
Bassmaster Magazines.

I have tried the standout hook whick I felt was a good idea but I have had
more success with the dropshot hooks more then I have with the standout
hooks.I'll give them another go this spring but I will not stick with them
as much as I did this year.

Those guys are teaching "my hooks" for drop shot fishing in their
B.A.S.S. collage courses now. Not bad for just a bent piece of wire, I
came up with

I wish I could get Warren to try the StandOut , Hell, I will send him
all he wants for free

Looks like now "my" new insect repellent is going to get the same
respect from these guys, Those writers are going nuts over it, the
first, and only, effective insect repellent, that does not repel fish.

I keep working, on making bass fishing easier for everyone, but like
Rodney Dangerfield, I get no respect :-) (at least none from this news
group)

Just to let you know, the StandOut, is awesome, for ice fishing with
live bait
