Off season training
Its only 5 months or so until the big migrants return.  
Tell us what you're doing to prepare yourself physically  and mentally  for next year |
It's not the bait

physically I am gorging myself with all kinds of desserts and foods so I can then try to lose weight in the spring.
Mentally, nothing

Dropped 60 lbs this year so now I'm down to 192....gonna try and maintain through the holidays by riding the excercise bike and then hit the gym in January for some Weight Training. Once spring gets here I'm going to start walking again....was doing 5-6 miles a night this past summer/fall....then I'll be ready to rock once May gets here

I'm actually considering practicing casting. Sounds pathetic but that's exactly how I feel everytime I go to the canal. I can outcast plenty but get outcasted by jsut as many. There are definitely times when distance counts and I really think it does there based on my limited time. Need to work on the mechanics.  |

This is what I should do, I weighed myself a couple of weeks ago on a real scale, I weigh 50#s more than I did 20 years ago. No wonder I float. |

Age and arthritis are taking their toll on my knees and ankles after a night of climbing rocks I'm sore for 2 days. My goal is to lose weight and get in shape. So far I've been back to the gym 3-4 days per week going on third week now. If that doesn't work it will mean much more kayak fishing than usual. However I am real hesitant to go out in kayak at night alone.

Keep running long 1/2" drill bits through my ears and pouring battery acid in until I get the urge to fish eels again. So far all that has happened is that I want to move to Franklin and change my name to Sauerkraut. Probably I'm getting close

Been going to the gym every weekday AM, lost 15# so far (the doc is happy with me for the first time in three years!). Mostly weight training, so results are good (then again, I'm a pretty big boy, so I'm not sure if I want more bulk).

Get back into my physical regiment again since the car accident just about a month ago, deepen my Martial Arts training and Yoga (stretching mostly) which has been long overdue.
Mentally...trying not burning my brain out on graduate school, money issues, etc. and making sure I keep myself meditating as much as possible and researching to keep myself learning. Controlling my Narcolepsy would be nice...

Trying to rehab the shoulder and not put on much of the weight I had lost. Looking at the new ZB is keeping me very motivated.

I am going to be ok until March. Thats when the mental torture for me begins. Honestly, checking out the posts here help. I want to loose some weight and get some cardio in. Jumping all over rocks in the middle of the night is not so good for the body when your in bad shape.

thats why they call it fishing not catching

I know mentally I'm going to increase my lurking on here during April and May... so I can know when to start fishing. I figure the 6th or 7th thread may be a good indicator as the first few are usually ...  ....or.... 
Meanwhile, physically?? I'll be chasin' my 1yr old around as he's finally finding his legs...  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Winter months mean it's gym time. Focusing on business and my health before the Spring comes and I go back to sleepless nights, snack food/Redbull for meals and living as a drifter out of my car.

to prepare for the next season, I try to forget about fishing all together... just stop thinking about it and refresh... then come back more excited than ever... even junkies fall deeper after trying to quit...
