who has taken casts into the snow in their yard during the winter... im one of them..
Guilty as charged ;D my neighbors think i'm nuts... :-/
I casted into a 1' deep pool of water that is sitting ontop of the ice that covers my pond.

Me too! Its the best time to practice accuracy
No one wants a rusty arm in the spring ;D
Quotemy neighbors think i'm nuts... :-/
me too!
I will admit it. :-/
I haven't done it this year YET but many times in the past.
i have been pitching a jig in the yard now for around a month!! but, today i got out and fished a local creek for smallmouth. no fish and i lost one of my favorite jigs and a s e x y shad wild shiner. but it felt good to actually cast into fish inhabited water, beats casting around dog poo in the backyard

;D Same here.

My neighbors are pretty used to it. But, I am really starting to hate when the folks walking their dogs go, "Catch anything??? ;D" That was never really all that witty to me. :
Too cold out, that's why I have a fish tank
I have an indoor rod to taunt my cat with.
Not me. When I jones I just mix up some 2 stroke for the auger. The whitefish on Winni are awesome this year!
I went ice fishing yestarday, brought a new baitcaster and was flippen and pitching into open holes inbetween running to flags. I think other people fishing around us thought I was nuts. But practice makes perfect!
Oh definitely count me in on this one. Last weekend I snuck out the side door to the garage to make a few casts without my wife laughing at me.
lol, have a couple of times. Trying to back in casting shape.

I'm not gonna lie, so I won't say that I don't cast in the snow 8-)
lol would have...only problem is that delaware has been for the most part snow free,,,i dont even the the pond has completely frozen over yet jut the edges at times ;D
Hi my names Brian... haha yea add me to that list.
Guilty as charged x4
Hey, I was just trying out the new Avids I got ... :-[
You are not gonna call the cops on me , are you ??? :-/
Does breaking though ice with your net and push-pole to put the boat in count? ;D Two weeks ago it was great just to get out!

I go out in the back yard every winter and walk around my property and flip/pitch to random objects, like a big leaf or a small clump of snow. My family things i am crazy but it really is good practice.
just bought a new bait caster so I have been practicing,,,, the worst is, is that Im sitting on my new boat in my back yard and my neighbors think Im nuts....lol

My roomate and I have 18 rods on display in the front hall. Sometimes (often) I just can't resist. I keep a practice plug handy for those momments.
QuoteToo cold out, that's why I have a fish tankI have an indoor rod to taunt my cat with.
I have one of those, but the cat is unimpressed and just looks at me like I'm stupid. It's funny because when I do practice in the yard (yes, often in the snow) he always shows up to "help".

I do it at least 3 or 4 times a week. I tie on a plastic worm and practice accuracy. Sunday the neighbor's cat keep chasing the worm on the way in. The neighbors love to come out and ask how the fish are bitin. I always tell them I can only catch catfish this time of the year!
Guilty,Guilty,Guilty. I go out on the deck and flip at objects sitting on the ice in the pool. When it starts to warm an the plug punches through the ice I then start aiming at those holes. My wife already knows I am nuts and the neighbors just scratch their heads.
yet to go out in the winter and throw around a bait but thought about it
but have thrown some plugs down in the basement where its warm and closer temp conditions to when I fish outside ;D
I am guity of that too. Practicing with a bait caster. Tossing it into the bucket. Passing garbage men asked me if I was catching anything. I told them just rock bass. :-[
been out casting too, practice makes perfect
