read field & stream and where i'm from we are still doing ice fishing so haven't thought about getting geared up for next season yet.

Check or change reel line, sharpen or replace hooks, grease bearings on boat trailers, disassemble and clean reel and reel parts, check eyes on my rods, check spark plugs on boat engines, then give a shot of lube into the cylinder to lube dry rings, Start building new fish attractors and planing where I need to place new sets.

Now is the best time to start moving deer stands, clearing shooting lanes, starting new or breaking in food plots, building new stands.

I'm with 2pappa!
plus we work on the boat.

BOO I really have to change the oil and replace wiring...darn I really should put new florr mat and cooler holder and fix the live well...man I got to get to the barn..

I ice fish a little bit in the winter, but usually respool any reels that might need it, organize my tackle, and do an inventory on hardware I may need to pick up. Pretty much the same as matt and 2Poppa, dreaming of warmer weather and sitting in the boat!

I go online and read up on fishing in my area and what has been working for other people...other than that I organize my tackle box time and time again just itching to hit the lake/river

go through my tackle, and then wait till the day i plan on going for the first time and scramble to throw everything in the boat and make a mad dash to the lake, then im set for the season because my boat has enough gear in it to live for year.

hit up all my friends with boats and get all my rod and reels set up how i like them
