Winter blues.

[MuskieBait]

I just transition from one thing to another...year after year...there's never a "down time"...and I do all my prep before a trip.

If I come home from a saltwater trip though, I do tend to do an extra wash down of the gear.

I don't usually wait to clean out reels. If I feel something isn't right, I clean it as soon as I can. The longer you wait, the bigger the problem...especially with sand or salt.

I've never clean out my waders or my float suit. Are they supposed to be clean?

Plan, plot and dream...I do that almost every spare minute. It's not just a "down time" thing.
