What do you do in the off season?

I'm curious as to what keeps us crazed fisherman busy during the winter months? I know a bunch of guys here work on their plugs. Does anyone Ice fish? Save for winter fishing trips to Belize? Snow Mobile, Ski? Basket Weaving?

I mentioned before I'm almost as crazy about skiing as I am fishing. I dropped my ski's off last night to get tuned up. I find there are lots of similarities. When the fish are in and I know the bite is on i'll drive long distances and drop other stuff in my life. If I know snow is coming I'll drive 4 hours to Jay Peak to hit the pow pow. Carving turns in 2 ft of powder is just as fun to me as a screaming drag from a large bass. You can do it alone or with a group of friends. You get to go to beautiful places and experience nature just like fishing. I'm going to Montana and Wyoming this winter to ski Jackson Hole and Big Sky Montana almost like a ski pilgrimage like a fisherman would do to Cuttyhunk, Block or Montauk I can't wait!
