The cold weather and winter months are getting here faster and faster. We just lost an hour of daylight (I HATE THAT), and the beautiful warm summer memories at Busse Lake, the Fox River, and Local Fishing Hole USA are now seemingly becoming barren with the summer greens becoming the winter grays.
But…
I WILL NOT STOP FISHING!
That's right. Why stop? There's open water to fish year-round at many places - Northshore Channel of the Chicago River, Busse warm water discharge (where I caught 70 bass in December of 1998), Mazonia, and various river dams. And come on… ice fishing is fun. Think of this… a few of get together every other weekend or so and drill a bunch of holes through the ice at Busse, Beck, Axehead, etc. and have a GOOD TIME!
Plus… we have the fishing shows coming up in January at Arlington and Rosemont (WCF at the Arlington show? Looks like it!)
I say all this because I get pissed when winter comes along and "takes away" my favorite hobby little by little. At least now I'll have more time to work on this site and make it one of the best fishing sites on all the internet.
The days may get shorter, the water may get harder, and the air may get colder… but the fishing ain't gonna stop!
My point is this - some people do drugs to get through life… Fishing is MY drug. Anyone wanna hit?
