What happens when you get the Bug????

Guys,

I'm so pumped for this season I can't see straight. I can't sleep because all I want to do is get out there and fish.

So my question is this what do you do to calm yourself down in this situation?

I know the odd answers from some of those crack ups will come my way.

So lets hear it. Are you feeling it to?

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...

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.

Ray,

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

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.

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.

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.

Guys,

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

I can't wait.
