The change of season just means a more laid [or layed] back time of year. Head for the hard water, cut or chop holes, and relax. I fish a spot that doesn't get a lot of pressure, and only has a few houses vizable[wrong spelling?] I love the peaceful feeling that comes with being the only one on the lake a cold windy day, and feeling the cold biting at my face while I'm warmly dressed. Either you love or you hate it! I think that you have to have done it [and enjoyed it] as a kid to be able to do it when you get older. It's probably difficult for a lot of people to realize how a sane person could enjoy that, but that's ok with me. I love the solitude. If we all liked doing the same things [golf; hunt; bowl; etc.] it would get awfully crowed out there. I wish everyone a good, safe, and healthy winter. And one last thing----STAY OFF OF MY LAKE.
