11 Ways To Cure Your Cabin Fever This Winter

It’s officially cold outside. That officially sucks. While some of you are lucky enough to live where “cold” means 55 degrees (looking at you California and Florida), and some of you are bold enough to brave the elements and ice fish, the rest of us are stuck without fishing until the weather warms up.What are we supposed to do all this time? Our jobs? Arts & crafts?? TALK TO PEOPLE??? No thanks! Here are 10 winter-friendly fishing activities to cure your cabin fever until the snow melts!

1. Fish At Home

For some reason this product exists, so now in the winter you can fish from your favorite seat in the house!

2. Ice Fish

Maybe you're reading this and thinking "Fishing withdrawals in the winter?? Just ice fish!" I applaud your dedication.

3. Practice Your Trick Casts

Take part in our weekly #MTBTrickShot competition and win yourself a free box!

4. Take A Fishing Trip With Your Friends

It's not cold everywhere, right? Pack the poles in the car, grab your buddies, and head to a warmer state!

5. Watch Fishing YouTube Videos
