For me, I want to be a better jig and drop shot fisherman. I didn't use them much in the warmer months.

travis23 reply :
I think my biggest goal would be swimbaits, swim jigs, and I would really like to learn how to use spoons for these brownies here in West Virginia.
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
Yeah me too. I have to learn swim jigs also. :-)

Long Mike reply :
What do I want to learn? It has nothing to do with fishing. I want to earn a license as a ham radio operator. Go figure. I'm 67, and still wanting to learn.
Grizzn N Bassin reply :
I'll b bass fishing until the whole pond is cover... if half of its not I'l***ishing... last year I read. A lot of books. So I think I'll go back thru and take it slower.. and prob add a few more to my collection.... I'm in my 6th read of bill Murphy's the pursuit of giants bass....
Bassguytom reply :
I going to try to learn not to buy so much stuff at the sportsman shows in the winter. I am also going to learn to make worm molds out of plaster of Paris and recycle all the used plastic baits I have been saving.
bigbill reply :
With all the reading and videos here plus on you tube I review it all to keep the edge fresh in my mind. I hammer videos all winter till the ice is off but don't forget to clean and lube your reels too. While it's still warm I wash my lures and tackle boxes to get all the oders out. It's also time to get the tackle room in order too. At the sametime I check my in-house stock on everything too.
It's also time to watch for sales and clearances too.
There's slot to do over the winter. But on espn I wish we had more fishing shows on tv. Shows like Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston, Hank Parker, the old Jerry McKinnis fishing shows. Jerry was the man who started it all. He was building one boat per year to fish for bass. This was life before the bass boat. I miss all this shows. Even the old black and white tv shows of gada bout gaddis aka The Flying Fisherman with his float plane. I was glued to the tv on every sundaynite watching him. I just wish we had fishing shows on primetime again. We need another espn channel with 24/7 fishing.

+1 Bill. I wish they had a channel that devoted 100% to fishing without any hunting or anything else. :-)

Not ESPN nor is it free but World Fishing Network is 100% fishing.

Raul reply :
Uhhhhhhh....................what´s "Winter" ?
Creekcrappie reply :
Alabama rig
Ryan Nichols reply :
I live in California, so i guess I'll still fishing in the winter, sorry guys. 
I watch enough videos during weeknights just waiting for the weekends. I can't imagine how crazy I'd go all winter!
This winter I want to learn lip-less cranks, jerk baits, and swim jigs.
Felix77 reply :
This season began with a goal to learn the drop shot. I ended up focusing on the mojo rig because of the conditions I fished most often.
Next is all about the jig ... namely those for flipping, pitching and swimming in and around grass.
alexandboi reply :
Swimbaits and jigs. I am pretty confident about jigs, but would just like to improve more.
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
Thanks Brian!!!!

Jaiden reply :
This spring and summer, I've pitched jigs, flipped jigs, and swam jigs. This winter I want to fish them slowly and on the bottom.

Gaddabout Gaddis! I remember him! He used to live up near Rangely, Maine! I'll be learning in general from glenn's videos and others online. In the spring I want to learn scuba diving, but we'll see.....glub

I want to learn what a 50" musky feels like.
I also want to learn what a DD bass feels like, but may need to wait till spring on that...

Enjoy them for they grow up before we know it. We have to teach them all about life with the respect and love for each other too. And don't forget to pass on the fishing knowledge too. God bless, bigbill
Your going to enjoy them now but wait till the grandkids come. My first grandson is interested in tractors, dirtbikes and quads at 3yo. He likes fishing too. My point is we enjoy or children but we get a repeat with the grandchildren too.

I think next summer when the weather heats up I'm going to target the great northern pike we have here. After catching the 29" to 32" chain pickerel going for its next sized cousin must be a hoot to have on the line. I have three heavy duty bait caster setups all ready to go. With a soft bag full of pike/Muskie lures too.

I been bass fishing at a local lake were I seen a really big nothern pike feeding in the shallows. This place is stocked with trout so this pike has plenty to eat. The trout fishermen haven't figured out where all the stocked trout are going. I caught a pickerel there but it didn't look like a chain pickerel with its markings. It's teeth were very large on the sides of its mouth it had rippers. Baby pike? The state put great northern pike in one big lake to control the over population of white perch. Well here we are many bodies of water down stream that all have great northern pike populations now. I'll give it a try it's suppose to warm up soon. I'm hoping the winter is a mild one and it goes by as fast as the summer did.
