No it's not "me" (whoever that is)

But give my son time. :soon: Little $hit is already carving plugs with a rasp and sandpaper better than I am. :shocked:

Fungus 11-10-2007 10:12 PM

I will usually build a rod or two and tie some classic full dress atlantic salmon flies

Bronko 11-11-2007 12:20 PM

Enjoy my family and my son's first Christmas. Play as much hockey as I can.

phish4stripers 11-11-2007 02:37 PM

Catch up on household chores, try to go snowboarding as much as possible.

piemma 11-11-2007 05:51 PM

;)What's an off season? ;)Clammer never stops. I'll give it up in Jan and most of Feb but will start looking for new arrivals around the Ides of March

Goose 11-11-2007 06:35 PM

Mista Mom. collect/split wood. scout deer. wrap for freinds. Poker tour:hee:

Dick Durand 11-11-2007 06:41 PM

Sqyibby - I've skied both Jackson Hole and Big Sky and they're both great mountains. Not far from Jackson Hole and not to be overlooked is Grand Targee, a great powder mountain, which is near Jackson Hole. Head south through the gap to Driggs, Idaho, and into the Tetons. Slightly off the beaten path, but if you have the time a pleasant diversion averageing 500 inches of powder. Enjoy the skiing!

rivsie11 11-11-2007 07:13 PM

Hope for gas prices to go down so I can fish more next season.

Rob Rockcrawler 11-11-2007 07:22 PM

try to keep the fire going, watch hockey. Going to try spinning some rods this winter. Gotta keep the stove nice and hot. Rake leaves sometime in march then go fishing.

FishermanTim 11-12-2007 11:50 AM

What "off-season"?
I fish all year long.
Spring = trout , holdover stripers and cod
summer = bass (fresh and salt) and blues, and fluke etc...
fall = bass (fresh and salt) and trout
winter = ice fish for bass, trout, salmon, pickerel, pike, perch, crappie and maybe even stripers where the have been found.

Finlander 11-12-2007 12:13 PM

Lots of trips to the tackle shops hopping to find something I don't already have and a little fresh water or ice fishing.

Slipknot 11-12-2007 01:23 PM

I fish less than the other 6 months of the year and catch up around the house on improvements and maintenence. There are plenty of nice days in the winter to go out and get fish and I don't ice fish.

Back Beach 11-12-2007 02:31 PM

Family time.Work out.Build a few rods. Fried turkey feast at 5/0's.Go to a couple Pats games. Florida for a week.
Build up six months of good will w/wife, so when May 15 rolls around there will be no roadblocks in the way of the 2008 season.:faga:

Clogston29 11-13-2007 08:24 AM

try to do enough at home that the wife decides that its worth sticking around for another fishing season, this year I think that includes redoing the kitchen :doh:

hang out with family, hit the gym, sleep - basically try to live like a normal person for a couple of months

Gunpowder 11-13-2007 03:39 PM

I'm actually doing a day at Grand Targhee too. It does have a great reputation and I'm going in late February which should be about as safe of a bet snow wise as you could ask for.

RickBomba 11-13-2007 05:19 PM

I used to work like crazy, but after what happened in the last two weeks, looks like I'll be travelling a lot, now.
Miami, California, Australia, Mexico, and Hong Kong as possible new work sites...sucks to be me in the winter.
Oh yeah, when I'm around, I hit the ice with Mikey.
Later,
Rick

mikecc 11-13-2007 05:55 PM

Besides Hunting,
Each year I try to rebuild 1 side of the house.
This year it is the front of the house.
I have replaced the Door all the windows, Vinyl Sided , Aztek trim & Shutters.
This is the last part of the house to be done.

I will open the shop on weekends starting in December. On weekdays I’ll be attending dealer shows, running for supplies ,Building Rods & Lures.

capecodkid 11-13-2007 06:55 PM

School everyday. I play basketball though. Tie flies, build plugs, buy gear, and go to shows is the rest. Nothing exciting.

Joe 11-13-2007 06:58 PM
