Guys,

Thanks for all your input. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to get here.

I can't wait.

Good post!!  Well, I am lucky to live where I do.  I have a few more outdoorsy options than some of you 206'ers, 425'ers, and 253'ers.  One of my favorite pastimes is plinking with the ol' .22 up in the canyon.  I love to target shoot with it and gets me out side.  If I need to scratch something fishy, I do what larry described and practice in the yard.  Oh, I also shoot the bow from the roof of the garage to simulate a tree stand shot.

Russ...at least she didn't say medium light action.

I set up my platform (A step stool!) in my yard and place butter bowls full of water around the yard and practice....sometimes for hours, my casting, flipping and pitching.

well this usually heppens to me when i'm at work and its nice out. So i pull this little manuever. walk up to boss tell him i need to go work on some school work  .  then i take a field trip to the lake  .  this worked until he saw me towing my boat to the lake  .  now i just say i NEED go fishing  .  might as well milk it while i can until i graduate.

go out to the garage and sit in boat and make boat motor noises......ha ha ha, then fondle all that tackle go back inside and dream of fishing, better yet just go fishing russ

Russ,  you can always come to my property in Lakebay and cut down trees with me, saw em into nice chunks, and then split them.......You'll be so darn tired, fishing is the last thing on your mind, that is until you shut your eyes

Ray,

I tried to sleep with the flipping stick but the wife said it  was too hard.

I work out at the gym 4 days a week, so that helps some.

But for the most part I try to stay focused on other duties, but its that time of year.

Chris,

Old Bill Dance video's now thats a good idea.

Here's my top ten ways to deal with this:

10. grin & bear it
9.   buy a bass fishing video game.  Hey I caught 65lbs the other day on my game.
8.   sleep in your boat
7.   sleep with your flippin' stick
6.   count fish 'til you got to sleep
5.   count lures 'til you go to sleep
4.   hit the gym - it will help you sleep
3.   Buy a new boat - oh, you already did that.
2.   take a cold shower then click on www.hotfemalesready2spawn.net
1.   can you say tranquilizers

Actually Russ, I am right there with ya.

Rent an old Bill Dance video from the library where he is shamelessly promoting a product like the Pork-O. That should make you disgusted by bass fishing for at least a few hours...

Nick,

We're supposed to be talking about fishing.
