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.

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

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.

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:

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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