Cabin Fever!

[jasonfish320]

58 days 11 hours & 18 mins. until spring! I'm goin' friggin' nuts here! I just bought a new ride a few weeks back (see pic) and have sold my my old boat (which I loved!) but now I'm stuck here in the N'East in a deep freeze pitching/flipping off a stool in my garage and can only dream of open water...I'm truly jealous of any of you who are still out there fishing strong through the winter..lucky bastards! I've learned a lot of new things from this forum over the past year and many thanks to all of you...seems like a great group in here!..too bad we all couldn't fish together someday..then again I don't know if we would stand a chance against the Zookenstein!!

were all waitin for spring when the fish start to move up and the temp outside gets comfortable enough to go out in but ive still been fishing some even though its freezing cold.and by the way, nice boat.

i have also been dying from cabin fever, and the worst thing is that the lakes i fish in froze over again but they are not getting thick enough to go ice fishing, cant wait for spring also.

Zook does'nt bother me. Besides i've nevor been in a boat with anybody that's out fished me. But hey i grew up fishing with Harold Ensley & Fish'N Frank Finson what can i say. Look that's not an Ego it's just confidence in myself & the lures i use. Now i know the Zook will have a rebutal to that. But i bet he'll agree on Confidence thing. Confidence is important to successful fishing. Some have confidence in one type of bait at anytime. Other like myself & Zook & others have confidence in everything we use. People like us are far more dangerous in a tournament. Say like the baitmonkey that will only throw swimbaits. Confidence in yourself & the equitment you use will take you allot further. I so miss my RedMan tournament Day's. I have my third child being born on the 22 of Febuary. Come March i will will be hunting some local tournaments to get back in the swing of things. AKA lilMoose will be back for 08 that's not a threat thatz a promise. So i understand the Cabin fever thing. But for me it's not just the weathor itz also a new baby as well. Zook it's a Joke calm down. But i hope are path's do cross one day in a tournament.

fear no evil arm chair warmers. while you sit and analize your past year fishing.. i will be out sittin off a creek channel fishing while you are debating the weather channel..

cry and protest your situation till your blue. cause my froze in winter bound yankee heathens i too used to live in colder climates.-like buffalo ny- i do recall that we fished alot during the winter even up there..

i fished in every condition from ice fishing in -40 degree weather to standin up to my knees in snow steelhead fishin.. this type determination and willingness to fish reguardless of weather is genetics more than anything..

i work outside year round. so i am sorta climated to the cold..

Me to zook today its is 2 degrees and i am off to the river. With that much moving water it's the only thing not froze over. River is really low i hope to be able to get in the deep channels & get out of the wind. Call me crazy but this wisconsin fishermen ain't going to complain i'm GONE Fish'N. See yeahh

I can't wait till spring. Although ice fishing does help the cabin fever a bit.

I still loves chunkin' da blade for a big 'ole bass though! Ice fishing does supplement it a 'lil bit though...

Nice rig. Get a birddog or 3, like me and birdhunt in the Winter or fish for winter fish like stripers, like I used to do then you won't get cabin fever. Anyway, that's a nice rig. Congratulations.
