I just can't stand winter no more. I see the sun out but the lakes are
still
12 inches thick and show no sign of thaw whatsoever.

***Only 12" of ice? WIMP! A friend of mine just told me that he added an
extension to his ice auger to get through the covering on local lakes.
Today was the first day this year that we've been over freezing, with
subzero low temps most of those nights.

In the past two weeks I
have quit smoking(yes the wife is still alive) and re-organized my tackle,
replaced hooks,line and made some good winter tackle purchases that were
on
clearance. Just got this "I need to fish bug" and knowing that I can't
until
around April is driving me nuts. Subscribed to digital cable for more
outdoor shows and that just makes things worse. Could not stand watching
Roland Martin reel in two Lm's at the same time on okechobee as I adjusted
the thermostat.

***If you're lacking things to do, just give me a call. I'll give you
something other than watching "SON! Lookit that 10 pounder!!!"


Just ranting away as the thought of Ice fishing just makes me wretch.
Tried
again this year and even caught some fish, but it's just way to wrong to
keep doing, and too dam cold Cant wait to the classic ...cant wait to the

***I'm still in Limbo regarding the Classic, not 100% sure if I'm coming or
not. Do you have any idea how hard it is to build a rod for the Classic,
knowing that I might not be able to compete for it? Knowing that there's a
possibility that I'll still have snow on the ground and the lakes could be
frozen yet in MAY???
