When do you stop fishing?

I fish year around, I personally look forward to the ice fishing season. Have had some of my best luck at this time. I have caught my biggest northern pike, rainbow, cutthroat and lake trout at this time. I have also had some of my best days as far as numbers go as well through the ice. I hope this year to make it back to the states in time to get some ice fishing in haven't missed a full season of ice fishing since 96-97 winter. I have been fortunate to fish Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Alaska, Washington and Utah through the ice and have caught fish in every one through the ice. Biggest pike and lake trout came from Alaska. Biggest rainbow from Montana and biggest cutthroat from Utah. Last year in Utah I did very well for perch and bluegill through the ice with an occasional trout and bass mixed in at my favorite lake there. My only real slow time is waiting between no ice and ice and back to no ice in the spring. In Alaska I was normally one of the first people on the ice around where I lived and I am not a real little guy, but I am careful haven't went through yet. Was close one year in Alaska though. The first day I fished one year we had an earthquake about 2 hours after I got off the ice and needless to say the ice I had been standing on earlier was on shore after the earthquake.
