I'm in new jersey at the moment,  and i've got my first born due any day now,  i'm thinking get in the truck now and head to maine so he's born in maine.  I plan on driving the 542 miles back to maine probably 2 or 3 times this season.  Definetly once so I can take my son on his first ice fishing trip  ;D  got to start them out young,
I picked up a second job on my off days from duty for some extra cash( the play money)  If I find some ice here in NJ,  then I'll go here b/c I need my fix.  I work w/ a guy from Wisconsin who is itching to go too.  So if there is Ice I'll do some traveling,  If I was back home, I wouldn't really have to go to far.  I could walk out back to the pond and fish, or drive 10 mins to my sisters and fish,  or drive 20mins to my parents and fish,  and probably every little pond or lake along the way and fish.  Winter time in maine,  alot of places to fish and not enough time to do it in.

im always traveling somewhere different. my kids live 5hrs from me so it gives me a excuse to try different places all over the state. after all why not make something good out of something bad?

it's an addiction, no matter how far, or how high the price of fuel, you'll do it for the fish...born to fish...
It's all about Karma.....
