Another NE weather weekend - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

It's only January 21st, and I've had it already with the winter weather!

I need to either strike it rich so I can spend four months a year in the Keys, or learn how to hibernate like a grizzly bear until May 1st!!!

Looking out my window now it's 12 degrees with a 15 kt north wind and hortizontal blowing snow, with much more on the way.

Just think, it gets even worse when football ends....

r we sick of winter yet?

If it weren't for ice fishing now and the expectations of spring stripers, winter would be completely unbearable.

I NEED to get out on the ice this weekend.

Winter absolutely sucks, IMO, but here's how I get Through it
January- Football playoffs, ice fishing
Feb- Spring training is in the air, shortest month
March- St Patrick's day, 1st day of spring, ice out (hopefully), trout fishing.

Yep after the superbowl I will be in a deep depression only to revive when I can get the boat out in Late March early April for some cod fishing weather permitting of course.

I put ice fishing in the same group with skiing & snowmobiling; might be a lot of fun, but if it's cold enough to freeze water then it's too cold for me.

This is going to be a tough one...

Dunno about you NE guys, but here on Long Island it's been winter for exactly 5 days

Up until then, I was fishing for holdovers

50-100 miles farther north makes that much of a difference??
