Try ice fishing for panfish. You don't even need a house, in fact you'll catch more fish without one, instead drilling a bunch of holes and moving around. All you really need is a gas auger, a graph, and a couple rods.

Gas augers and graphs are for sissies

I get to go ice fishing in march on spring break sometimes. Gotta wade through some open water, break through the ice until i get to some thick enough to stay on top of, then make a hole in about 5 FOW with a hand auger. You'll be surprised how hard the last few inches of ice are that late in the year...especially with dull blades  ;D 

Write down your wife's honeydo list, knock it out, check it off and keep it on the frig until ice-out.  When she complains about you going fishing next spring, point to the completed honeydo list.

Well I've spent my Sunday afternoon looking through about 15 various fishing magazines. It really didn't help the cabin fever, just made me want to go fish even more.

ice fish. buy a cheap hand auger and cheap little jigging pole and go catch some fish. I was out this morning for a couple hours before work and caught 10 or so bluegills. I even know of a pond I catch bass consistently thru the ice.

Grab all the tins of left over holiday cookies and pile them up on both arms of your recliner.Make a pot of coffee and put on some sweat pants.Turn on TV.Enjoy!

If you already have new line on your reels and ice out isn't until March you'll have plenty of memory on your reels spooled with Fluorocarbon, mono, and co-polymer lines by then.  You can always change your line again.
