In The Off-season

[05 grand slam]

WHat do you guys do in the off-season?

I have an off-road nitro powered rc car that i mess around with it really fun and takes my mind off of fishing well some what. The best part about it is chasen squerrls arround the yard.

There's an off-season? lol

[RuddeDogg]

tie rigs for next season

[SmoothLures]

Tie bucktails/flies. Sell a lot of freshwater panfish jigs. Go fishing when nothing is biting just to be fishing. And let's not forget hunting.

[Al Kai]

3-D archery.
Longbow, cedar arrows. Tradtional instinctive division.

[J_Lannon]

Golf and woodworking.

But there is really no need to shut down in this area. Theres plenty of fishing in the backwaters all winter long. I guess it helps to have a kayak or some type of skiff though.

[jcreamer]

Clean and service equipmnt
Make equipment for next year
Finish the inside of the house
Take refresher course for FCC license. Had one years ago and want to get into it again.

Yep shouldnt have posted this lol. No but i am really limited to fishing. I can really only fish LIP (Sandbridge pier) year round untill i get my license next year and well last year i did fish it year round and well im guna try and ween myself from it this year because all i did was sit out their by myself and catch cold and come home freezin my but off. Ill have a yak by summer so next year will hopefully be a better fishing winter for me!

If you guys have a spot that will produce that is arround the SB area let me know so i can fish all winter.

Drink beer till I feel warm then go fishing. Haha, I am hopin the rocks make it down here this year, as that is what I want to catch during the "off season",, then it will be dog/skate season, then drummies will be back!!

[Pennman]

Annual tear down, cleaning, drag replacement, and lubing all of the reels I use throughout the year. Dusting/cleaning all the antique wall hangers on the walls of my sanctum sanctorum (used to be a home office before I retired!:D). Also, waste a lot of money buying stuff I probably don't need attending all the fishermen's fleamarkets withing 50/60 miles from my home. And, best of all, freeze my butt off on the year round head boats chasing those delicious cold water fish which are in Jersey waters in the winter.
Of course, the "off season" is also that time of year when I catch up on all the "honey do" projects which my bride of 40 years has laid out for me which didn't get done because the "fish were running"!

We are not even close to the off season yet. We will be fishing all the way up to the end of January. Really one of our best times to fish is coming up for striper. The colder it gets the bigger the striper run will be going south.

hitten LIP this weekend for some striper action as a matter o fact or wateva will bite

[Fly Wacko]

There is no off season for FW... There are good places to catch fish all 12 months.

Right now, the Striper and Walleye action is just getting going on Lake Anna, and warm winter days mean that I will be nailing tasty Yellow Perch. Not to mention my secret winter saltwater spots...

[Fly Wacko]

I have never fished that Lake, but have fished the Smith River several times. Good Trout river, just be careful when they start releasing water.

last time was 2000 nice little lake. We also stayed in the cabins. Can't remember the cabin #, but the lake was like 20 feet from the door.

I had a small boat with me and fished by the dam and along the shores. There is a nice drop off area/point to the right of the dam. There is also a nice cove to the right of the dam.

Am not a big FW bass fisherman, so I didn't have a lot of lures; but did catch some fish on Rapala's and Rat-L-Traps.


Good Luck.
