What do you do in the off season?

[Rockport24]

skiing, but not too much cause it gets damn expensive, other than that, dream about fishing, go to shows and seminars, and I'm in a cover band now, so hopefully get enough material together to play some shows! I'll post when we have one!

[keeperreaper]

Rig up some eel hooks, redo all my tuna bars and restring all the rods. Rest, enjoy the family and work on house projects. Hunt.hunt, hunt. Catch up with all my non fishing friends.

Living about 6 miles from Sugarbush i have no off season. as soon as the fishing gear gets put away the ski gear gear comes out.the snow guns are blasting as i type.

I got lots of plugs to work on, lots of work to do in my shop to get the inside done! I got lots of work going on inside the house too! My wife will be on me to do more of the latter....and I will!

No it's not "me" (whoever that is)

But give my son time. Little $hit is already carving plugs with a rasp and sandpaper better than I am.

Family time.Work out.Build a few rods. Fried turkey feast at 5/0's.Go to a couple Pats games. Florida for a week.
Build up six months of good will w/wife, so when May 15 rolls around there will be no roadblocks in the way of the 2008 season.

[Clogston29]

try to do enough at home that the wife decides that its worth sticking around for another fishing season, this year I think that includes redoing the kitchen

hang out with family, hit the gym, sleep - basically try to live like a normal person for a couple of months

This winter ought to be different,I was recently hired @ a new Commercial HVAC Co.it has some real prestigious accounts,there's a lot more challenges,schoolingstudying and responsibility to go along with it,not to mention more $$$$ & a coIm really pshcyed about it.This move couldn't have come @ a better time.my co-workers are really laid back & knowledgeable so the transistion is almost seamless.

I look forward to hanging out with my Wife & kids I hope it gets cold enough to go pond skating & of course sledding. make a couple of trips to N.H. see my Mom for a long weekend do some boarding,bowling and eat some good cooking.
Start the annual winter work out,the wife will have some new projects in cue,watch the Pats kick ass for the rest of the season.

[tattoobob]

I will do some ice fishing, chores around the house, and plenty of overtime. this is when I spend alot of time with my family.

I really hate the cold weather, I need a wood stove

I usually go to the gym every day too

Sqyibby - I've skied both Jackson Hole and Big Sky and they're both great mountains. Not far from Jackson Hole and not to be overlooked is Grand Targee, a great powder mountain, which is near Jackson Hole. Head south through the gap to Driggs, Idaho, and into the Tetons. Slightly off the beaten path, but if you have the time a pleasant diversion averageing 500 inches of powder. Enjoy the skiing!

[rivsie11]

Hope for gas prices to go down so I can fish more next season.

[Rob Rockcrawler]

try to keep the fire going, watch hockey. Going to try spinning some rods this winter. Gotta keep the stove nice and hot. Rake leaves sometime in march then go fishing.

Besides Hunting,
Each year I try to rebuild 1 side of the house.
This year it is the front of the house.
I have replaced the Door all the windows, Vinyl Sided , Aztek trim & Shutters.
This is the last part of the house to be done.

I will open the shop on weekends starting in December. On weekdays I’ll be attending dealer shows, running for supplies ,Building Rods & Lures.

I'm actually doing a day at Grand Targhee too. It does have a great reputation and I'm going in late February which should be about as safe of a bet snow wise as you could ask for.

[RickBomba]

I used to work like crazy, but after what happened in the last two weeks, looks like I'll be travelling a lot, now.
Miami, California, Australia, Mexico, and Hong Kong as possible new work sites...sucks to be me in the winter.
Oh yeah, when I'm around, I hit the ice with Mikey.
Later,
Rick

School everyday. I play basketball though. Tie flies, build plugs, buy gear, and go to shows is the rest. Nothing exciting.
