Serenity Now
Driving into work today traffic was not as bad since the snow plows had added the two missing lanes back to 295 North. The sun was bright and I opened my window a bit. Amazingly the air did not cut into my face like frozen razor blades. In fact it felt good and thoughts of spring only four weeks away raced thru my mind. I could almost smell the honey suckle and hear the sirens of spring called peepers. The snow was thinner on the landscape and my heart felt like a giant weight was lifted from it.
Yes it was a moment of complete anticipation like when you dated that girl back in high school who made you have butterflies in your stomach just thinking of her. It was grand... Then I hit a backup in the 3rd street tunnel. And Manic Depression played via back wards guitar.. By the end of the tunnel I was back in winter form.. depressed again. Four weeks to go.. I can make it ..yes I can.. Capt Mike

Man, the things we take for granted living in the south. Never stays cold for my than a week or 2 and we get a warming trend. The lakes never freeze over, just the mud holes. We can fish for the reason we are here day in and day out. It just makes me say, I hate it's you, but I'm glad it ain't me. Sorry for the sarcasm in you time of need brother. No hard feelings.

LOL no hard feelings whatsoever. If I lived somewhere warmer, I'd feel the exact same way. Someday........ really though, I don't see where I'll have any choice but to take up ice fishing next year. Not a complete substitute for warm weather bassin' but it's a better cure for cabin fever than browsing Cabela's website every couple hours

I just picked up a bunch of bait for ice fishing, no sign of spring for a LONG time here. I ice fish only because I need to get out, I go crazy inside for so long. It passes the time but is not really fun, I don't understand how a lot of people like it better than warm water fishing.
And I need to do something about getting down south, permanently. |

I am sure you noticed how close the BPS and Cabella's are from your location.

Same here. I've spent quite a bit since November, but 95% of it was on sale, some of it on incredible sales.

Sorry, I forgot that the Cabela's is in Reno rather than Vegas.
Lake Mead is a great place to fish while you are out there.
