Everything goes in cycles... weather it is fish stocks or your desire to chase said fish... or even the enjoyment of the changing seasons.. for me.. even though the winter is hard on my aging joints, I embrace the fact that we live in an area of the country that allows us to be outside enjoying the outdoors each and every season.... standing on a frozen lake may not be everyones cup of tea.. but it has it's own soothing qualities.. a morning walk in the winter woods can do wonders for the sole.. and then there are the winter chores... the making of plugs, invisioning how each one will be enhaled by a hungry striper, repairing or building your favorite rod, or soon to be favorite rod...forming battle plans for each month as you look at the tide charts and phases of the moon.... winter time is a welcome break.. with out it, it striper fishing would not be quite as special.. before i know it, I'll be taking the cover off the boat and chasing the first cod and haddock of the spring, It's already the middle of january and the days are getting longer.. it's right around the corner... I hope I have time to get everything done....
