Waiting For Summer Fishing

Somehow, going out fishing in the winter just isn't the same as fishing in the summer. Although there is something to be said for cutting holes in the ice and trying to entice cold and lazy fish to feed on what you push down the hole, summer fishing is far more enjoyable for this blogger. Fishing on the open water in a boat, or sitting at the shore, basking in balmy weather, listening to birds, watching insects on the water, seeing the occasional frog - these are things you can't have in these cold and dreary winter months. Sure, you can lay on the ice and look into the hole you've cut, but it's no substitute for summer fishing. I look forward to fishing for cats, goldeye, crappies, perch, pike and walleye by casting over the open water. More another time on what kind of bait to use, other tips and tricks, and stories. Fish on!
