Bored????

There is ice fishing.

Try taking up plug making ( I know it ain't like eels but catching on your own stuff is kind of fun and rewarding)

Or..... back in 98' I went 22 months stright here on 'ol Cape Cod catching bass ( not big ones mind you in the winter months) it was lonely most times and very cold in January, February and March but Stifftip will tell you I took him one day In February to a local Cape Cod Bay harbor situated at the Mid Cape area and though it was 26 degrees, spitting snow and blowing 20 from the N/west he took a 26 inch fish on his first cast. The shellfish warden was there when we arrived at the landing to suit up to go out and he asked us for our shellfish licenses as he thought we were going clamming when he saw the fishing rods he said "do you two know what time of year this is"?

If you know where to go you can catch from Truro to sandwich year round ( btw the way the biggest winter bass I took in those 22 months was 33 inches long in a local creek) we took fish in the dark in January in one southside creek as well as soon as it would get light they shut off and it was in the 20's temperature wise and you had to slide down ice covered embankments.

I gove up the crusade at 22 months because my waders had a rim of ice around my waist and my guides were completely frozen, sh!t like that happens when striper fishing in 19 degree temps. I had had enough but proved it is possible!

There is no reason to be bored.

Why even try.........

Excellent idea Mike!

I've got a nature video I've been watching on the habits of the long-legged bed-thrasher....gonna get another about the red-breasted warbler that's also supposed to be good....

Actually, I'm starting a project that's gonna keep me outta mischief for a while using stuff from my collection on bass clubs - the time is right to get it underway.

Another one is with my uncle who's gonna be 97 this summer and has a collection of jazz and early blues 78's that goes back to the '30's that numbers in the 1,000's - told him about USB turntables and he's into it, so we're gonna digitize it and put some of it on CD's - another thing to keep the shack nasties at bay -

Also just got some bucktails from Jules - they're excellent - gonna cast and tie some bucktails, then there's cleaning and repairing my schtuff...walking the dogs at low tides around my spots to see what I see...reading old fish books to revisit them...

Basically, old guy stuff to keep me from jonesing...

Or maybe I'll just go watch that nature video again in a while...it's really fascinatin'...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I bored also.Straight porn only takes up a few minutes of my day.Several times a day.So what do I do for the other 23 hours and 45 mins..Tried starting some flame wars..It's like they are made out of kindling..
I burned them all to a crisp.No competition there either.
Perhaps I could call Flap a plug tossing,giant Neanderthal,Big foot sissy and get a few pages out of that, but it has all been done before.I will get out black fishing Friday But they have been getting tough and it's about to wind down.
I don't have any hair to pull out.If I eat anymore I will have nothing to wear..
I will be the Naked Notorious NIB..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

that's too bad your bored Mike, you're lucky you have time on your hands.It can't be too hard to find stuff to do to stimulate your short attention span . Babysit backbeaches kids, good idea, or do some volunteering.

That would help for three hours, but I know it would be way worse afterwards.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
