When the ice forms, you could always practice skipping baits 😁

 

I'm lucky to live in the south so I can fish year round. If it's not too cold or windy I will be on the lake whenever I get the chance.

 

But in general, I'll pull apart my rods and reels. I will change the pairing of some.

 

I also do trailer maintenance for my kayak and general maintenance on the kayak as well. Usually, this time of year I'm also adding new equipment or making modifications to my kayak. This year I'm thinking of ditching my 7" Humminbird Helix. Right now I run that and a Garmin UHD93.

 

But I think I want to replace the Helix with a 10" or 12" Garmin unit and then network the units.

 

I'll clean reels and organize/purge gear but the "offseason" is usually spent either ice fishing or hiking for me.
