Its March Dammit!
 

March 1st for me is the light at the end of the winter tunnel!:btu: Yesterday and today were good indications that Spring is just around the bend! Heard some birds singing yesterday and today....don't know what they were but they only come out when Spring is nigh! Time to start cleaning the gear and such.....mid-April will be upon you before you know it!:happy:

our apartment is 80 degrees all winter.... (3rd floor cant control the heat) so we always have the windows open.... I got the spring smell through the window when i woke up today.... soon veery soon

When I went out to my truck this morning I heard birds too. First time this year. Come on SPRING....:happy:

I have all my gear cleaned, repaired, new drag washers , all rods ready boat & shore, a ton of jigs tied up and ready to loose. waiting for my shipment of mono form FLA.
Gonna make some rod holders for trolling out of PVC who needs stainless, I'm not into flash but something that works, plus it's it's alot CHEAPER.
If the ice is out of my holdover spots I'll be all over them by sunday someone has to wake them up.

I agree....that was it!:cool:

i knew that
 

lol :grins:

On rt. 6A in Barnstable the crocuses and snow drops are in bloom along some of the rock walls. That's a sure sign and the light and shadows are different, they have that spring feel. It's started.:uhuh:

yeah
 

lovin this skating rink they call a road

Dont look outside today. It looks a little white to me to be spring yet. But I love the positive thinking.

its all rain now - any snow can't last. This was one easy winter.

well ,today doesn't like spring is that close up here in Vt. snowing heavy with 16 inches expected.march can be very snowy up here which is what i live for,hate to rush the seasons.

Well John, sorry but you can keep the snow and cold!!!!

I just thought that for the winter you holed up in your little shop and made thousands and thousands of plugs for all the little boys and girls. Now I know the truth - you ski your arse off!!!

My brother and I hunted in Vt. during 60's & 70's. Beautiful state. Great memories. Don't think I'd want to live there in winter. Too much wood chopping and shoveling for me!

the wind last night
 

sounded something like wolves howling....

it was creepy....like a horror flick...

Rich,i do have lights in the shop,ski all day work all night.just hope that we don't get too much snow that i can't get the trailer out to bring to Florida for spring training.

the notheast kingdom is one of my favrite places

the early daylight savings this year will be a good harbinger as well!

you guys are pulling the trigger too early:doh:

Daylight savings time is NEXT Sunday (the 11th).
If that alone doesn't get your thoughts turning to surf and stripers, I don't know what else will.

I really think Bigfish & Mac heard the return of the piping plovers:hee: :fishslap: :crying:

not if you fish freshwater dude

freshwater = :hang:

shudap!!!!! :faga: thats as bad a JINX as when Raider Ronnie

mentioned the Super Bowl during the Colts vrs Pats game. :hs:

I heard those birds too...and noticably lighter days...

Only a week till DST.That's should complete the illusion.

Hey man we got a bone to pick.

Flock of Robins in the crabapple tree this morning and the first maple buds came out. :D

2 friggan degrees coming wednesday
 

this SUCKS

yah there was pleanty of cold this winter for ice fishing, wish we got more snow though. springs coming!!!!!!!

Even worse than i imagined
 

you call this March????

you coulda fooled me.... because it ain't acting like march!!

how anything survives out there is a total mystery....

my wife's car wouldnt even start today. -14 with the windchill

the wind is howling....sounds like a train goin by.

nasty nasty nasty. :liquify:

It's snowing again.:nailem: March sucks!

Don't worry... in like a lion, out like a lamb. It's only 10 days to lamb time. And Wednesday is the first day of Spring...

The Vernal Equinox is one of the four great seasonal changes every year. Day and night are equal, and the changing weather can lift the spirits of young -- and old -- alike! Don't miss this opportunity to have some fun!!!
