Good post CP. And I don't know how many times the fair weather fishermen have called us fools. Just fish Hefner from a float tube this time of year and you'll hear fool, idiot, dummy, stupid, etc. coming from the cars that are driving by. But winter is a GREAT time to be fishing, whether it's through the ice in Montana for trout, 'eyes, pike, jumbos, or burbot or in a boat or off a dock in Oklahoma for crappie or cats. The best part may be that there are no jet skis, boom boxes, or crazy drunks, just us "fools".
