Well now that i am actualy back living in georgia i am pumped to start fishing tournaments again. Our season starts in January and we fish one tourny a month up to July and it just seems that January is lightyears away so now i have nothing to do as it is too hot and dry really to do any fishing where i am at we been having heat indexes of 110 to 125 and its extremely dry so all i have to do now is go to school and come home and work on my car so just waiting for January now.

You're young.  Value your youth.  Blink your eyes a few times it will all be over.   :-/

Here in the upper mid-west, January is about the time that withdrawl sets in and I start dreaming about soft water. Just be glad that you can find a shady spot to stick a few even during the hot months and don't have to put it all away for several months each year.  That's when the forum becomes my only link to reality.

january is coming up here for me here in alabama as well i'll be on the aba only i dont go through with draws lol i just go fishing i dont care how hot or cold it is

 This is so the reson I love California. It gets slow in the winter but not so slow that thers no hope. In the summer its hoter than h@$# but still fishable in the morning and evning.

Gotta love the Ca Delta 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

First, keep fishing all year, even if it is from the bank of a pond.

Second, set some goals this winter, such as reading one or two fishing books; organizing your tackle; cleaning the boat; purchasing a few DVDs or videos on fishing specific types of biats and/or techniques (Ike's productions are outstanding); attend a fishing show or seminar in your area; and clean and repair your rods and reels.

I love the winter as it gives me time to watch the football games and start getting ready for next year.

wow, you guys are lucky we still have snow and a ton of ice here  :'( no fishing tilllate march if lucky. Has snowed in early may though.
