I always love the initial reaction I get from hibernators (indoor folks) when I mention I am looking forward to the cold weather.

Then I explain how I used to be a winter recluse when I was younger, and then I "discovered" skiing and snowboarding, which I did for many moons. When my knees told me I had had enough I smitched to ice fishing and that's where it stands right now.

What I find ironically humorous is how they will say "I hate the cold" as if it were a side dish on a take-out menu.

I look forward to the winter with a child-like anticipation and an elders respect for what it could bring.

Thanks for the reminder to get set for bait retention.
I primarily use dillies when jigging for panfish, and I like to keep a constant supply on hand for those times when I can't get to the bait shops.

LET'S BRING ON THE COLD!!!!!
