Cabin Fever has turned into Cabin Flu

[mhall]

Everything you just said and especially drive my wife nuts, easy to do though. I do shed hunt deer antlers this time of year when it's not snowing. I get exercise for my big belly and it's fun to find them and you can get out of the house. I've fished less this winter than any winter in the last 5 or 6 years. I'm sorry fellas call it what you want but when it's 10 degrees you knuckleheads can have it, my ole bones just don't want it anymore, lol.

Ive been doing the same as the rest of you guys for the most part. Watching fishing shows, cleaning reels, organizing tackle, and then doing it all over again just to pass the time. I also surf the net and check out all the new tackle that has come out for the new year. Not really going to buy any new lures, but I have my eye on a new Fenwick Elite Tech Topwater Rod. I love my topwater!!! Anybody held one of these new rods yet? Curious to how short the handle is and how the action is

Who says you can't GO FISHING??? Laurel, Cumberland, Dale, Ky, Barkley, Green and a bunch more in TN certainly are not frozen over. Don't fish them but betting that Herrington, Taylorsville, Rough, Nolin might be wet as well. Winter fishing not only scratches an itch but you just my catch a big one as well. I don't go to Dale all winter just to scratch an itch, I go to catch fish and do so on a regular basis. Hook that Ranger up and take it to the ramp. Rest assured she will still float and run in 40 degree water just as good as 60 degree and above. Takes a few more layers of clothing and cleaning out a few more frozen eyes on your rods but they will still work as well.

Your right, she runs great, its just me that dosent do very well in the cold, the old bad knee just cant handle it anymore. I went back a couple of weeks ago to Dale and loved it, and I go every now and again, just not as much as I do in the spring, summer, and fall. Just getting the itch really bad, and with the weather coming, dont know when I will be able to get out again.

Was down at Rough and Nolin looking at property and both had lots of ice around the two or three ramps that drove past.
