Slow fishing day distractions

[fishamusmaximus]

I walk the shoreline looking for lures lost in the overhanging trees by summer boat anglers. Maples and oaks usually are the best producers. Evergreens you'll have to look for telltale line hanging down. Grab a long limb and hook one of the plug/lure hooks and pull. I've found quite a bit of lures up in the trees when it is slow fishing.

That's a good idea if you're set up next to the shoreline!

If I'm fishing with others, I like playing cribbage or poker....but if I'm alone, I'll take a nap in my beanbag chair.

I too enjoy looking for lures if im near the shore. Especially if I have a chance to recover some of my own

Today was a pretty slow day that was made a bit more interesting by some driftwood that was found on shore.  We made a balance beam out of our findings and had some Olympic-Style judging of the acrobatics that occurred.

Most of the routines lasted less than a couple of steps on a frosted plank, but we got in a nice trick or two.

It's a miracle that nobody was taken to the hospital.

I always bring a small Beans radio and tune into a talk show or Christian radio station to learn something new. It's never a waste of time to be outdoors.

I love huntin for lures on the shoreline when fishin is slow...even more so when I find the ones I lost myself haha

[Countyiceman]

I use to take a kite and the kids would fly it while waiting for our next flag.

[Slammin_Brookies!!]

Drink Beer, Cook Food, and set up a good old game of pack-basket ball toss!! Move Traps find the fish!

We know this guy is a fisherman

[bowhunt302]

if I am not catching, after many calculated changes to presentation, I am moving in search of active fish.

[Oldfart]

If the ice is thin and clear... I love to move to the muddy shallows by an inlet and look for turtles swimming around down there.
If the ice is thick... I pull out the lawn chair and a good cigar.

I love cribbage. Gotta be in a shack, pegging is tough with gloves on.
