The older I get the more I dislike winter! But, it does give me the opportunity to clean & re-lub all my reels, clean and check all rods for eye nicks. ArmorAll the blanks. Clean and re-seal my cork handles. Strip off old line and replenish. Retie all leaders and then go crazy for the next 3 months until spring thaw! LOL!

 

Picture is of Dec. 3, 2019. UGH!

Yep.

For good.  Can't figure out why friends and family still spend winter in Wisconsin.  There's a few that even say they like it.  Pretty sure they are lying.

I've been in Maine 65 years. Still love it. I'm ready for snow in the fall and ready for summer when it arrives. But I can't imagine having the same season all the time. It would be so monotonous. And no, going from 80 degrees to 50 degrees is still the same season around here. If your temperatures are like that it's not really winter. It's would just be a hot or cool day in the summer in Maine. We'd still be in our shorts either way.

 

I am one who says they love winter and I do mean it. Nothing like a howling blizzard outside leading to a foot or so of snow with a fire going inside.

A bad winter is when it half rains, half snows, and the real winter never quite clicks. Yuck.

 

All in all, I think it's where you come from. Thats why when most people visit an area alway say "it's a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there". I've traveled by camper in all 48 continental states. I've seen some wonderful places but I couldn't imagine living in them.

That being said.... Michigan (next to Wisconsin) is more amazingly wonderful than most people imagine....A surprise state for travelers. It was for me anyway.

Also being said..... Florida is good to go see Mickey Mouse. (Yes he did diss Florida, sorry).  ?

Well Said & I agree.

Especially that last part right there, but as for the travelers, 

I'm pretty sure northern Michigan is closed to bass anglers; it's full.

We have to wait for one to leave before we can let one in.
