I'm so sick of winter that I'm ready for a drive by casting!!!! 

So sick of winter that I'm just buying tackle due to my lack of actually fishing. I'm casting in the backyard, reorganizing my gear and reading about fishing non stop. I keep telling my self that I'll be fishing by mid-march by some miracle, but today it's 15 degrees and no sign of warming.

I'm pretty annoyed yes by Winter of course, but I'm looking at it in a more positive way.  It is a necessity for our waters.  I just read a report regarding how the water this year will be higher than the average norm the last few years thanks to all the snow.  Since 1996 I believe it stated, this will be the first year alot of the great lakes will keep more water.  The ice cover is preventing evaporation during the winter months.  So lakes like Huron (Georgian Bay Ontario, Canada) will see a severely needed water level rise.  This also helps the fishery I read, but I can't remember the specifics.  Also any land locked isle wildlife can now walk back and forth the ice, the advantage is to diversify the gene pool.  Since 1996 a lot of the wolves for example who were land locked may now have a better pool.  So that is how I'm looking at it. 

I can't tell you how many times I've practiced my pitching into a shoebox from the top step leading down into the den. I've re-organized my tackle systems countless times, and checked and re-checked my gear. Ha!

 

I'm pretty over this weather. However, hope is in sight. Looking at some 10-day forecasts see Indiana here climbing more consistently into the 40's and even 50's.

 

Guys....the climb is slow, but the view from the top is great!

 

Hang in there bass brothers!!!

I'm sick of winter and I'm here in Jacksonville FL. Lol it still gets cold here but not compared to bac home in NJ!!! I feel your guys pain still lol

I dont even own a boat and im thinking about ways to customize it. Rigid industry lights, power poles, low rance units, ecu booster, and more. I also picked up jig tying and extensive reel cleaning and assembly. 

Man, I just can´t let this one get away ....... how sick of Winter am I ? 

 

32°C = 90 °F        

I'll be a lot less sick of it in just over 2 weeks.

Very, very sick of winter ... spent more money on fishing than I care to imagine but some high hopes for this year ... a few new setups to try out and a new Ride 115x on it's way for when the ice does decide to disappear.

I can't feel pain....I'm too numb from the cold

How sick am I of winter?, -24 night before last. -18 last night, blew 4 more in. of snow this morning ( for the third time this week ) So sick that I'm leaving tomorrow for 2 weeks on Guntersville. It may be cool down there but the water is soft and I'm going fishing or, my wife tells me I am DEAD MEAT.

Very tired of it. Its annoying. I'll be probably starting fishing next week since it's starting to get warmer. Today was 27 degrees in my area but feels like 35 with sunshine. 

I am so fed up with it, I walked outside,raised my voice and waved a stick menacingly at the neighbors dog.

I wish that it would cool off some down here.  Ha Ha Ha

I have had some serious thoughts about moving south. I mean really serious thoughts.

It looks as if our winter has just started! 54 days with on rain, snow, ect. has got us worried. Rain for the last 5 days!!!!! Another 25 might just help!

This winter has been brutal, definitely the coldest winter in my lifetime in MN, I just hope we dont end up with a big winter kill on some of the shallow fertile prairie lakes.  I wont take too many more of these winters, might have to be a snowbird...

I tell ya, it was so cold here yesterday, I actually saw a young guy with his pants pulled all the way up.

Hootie

I think I'm sick.  I am actually getting use to the snow.

March 5th and snowing again in Chicago

Oh man, how much I´m suffering down here, once again I have to mow the lawn weekly instead of every two weeks ........

Today marks the 45th day in our winter with measurable snow fall in Chicago.  It's been 129 years, since that has happened. I am more than done with winter...

I've already heard of one smaller shallow lake around my area that has experienced winter kill. Winter can eat a you know what at this point in time.

Oh that is not good news. I fish around the Park Rapids area and frequent some shallower lakes in the ole Kayak.
