What Would I Rather Be Doing?

As I look out the window at my poor bass boat covered in snow, I cant help but think of things that would be better than this day. It is only the second week of October, the leaves on my maple trees are still green and I have one more tournament scheduled to fish this year. I usual have the boat tucked away in a nice warm garage before the snow flies. Yet there it is. If the boat could talk it would have words for me I am sure.


I could be duck hunting. Snowy cold weather is good for duck hunting. My mind continued to wander.... Deer season is right around the corner, phesants just opened as well.
It was about this time last year that I was fishing in Mexico (see Fish and Cervesa in Cancun). No snow in Cancun. That would be nice....
I saw a few pinks a week ago at the base of Goose Berry Falls running up from Lake Superior. During the fall of every odd numbered year, Pink Salmon run up the Skagit river in Washington state, eventually spawning in the streams that flow past a cabin I still own out there. Pinks/Humpies are a favorite of mine, mainly because they are aggressive hitters unlike most Salmon during spawning.

The river is probably full of them by now...and it doesn't snow there very often.

Well the list could go on but my 2 year old daughter wants to make a snowman so playing in the snow is what I will end up doing today. Until my next day dream.....

      I was also thinking about peacock bass fishing in the amazon but that was just a few moments ago. I'll go to Falcon this winter so no need to dream about that.
      It's alright you know, to get out and try something other than bass. Most of your Elite Series heroes will be in the deer woods in the next week or two if they aren't already. It may actually help your fishing to do a little hunting. It can help your patience.

    Fishing in Cancun is amazing. I'm not a big fan of being outdoors in winter. I really hate the cold. Just looking at those pictures gives me the chills. This year I think I'm going to tackle ice fishing but we will have to see how that goes.
