Ice Fishing,

its a social way to fish.
more buds more brews more stogies.
and for me, usually more fish.

and a side note.

A beer while ice fishing tastes better than any other beer in the world.

of course i only fish farm ponds but its not fishing without a case of blue lights spilled out on the ice.

i was wondering that as well.

i saw a post from ODNR one year that said you should never eat a fish that gets run-off from golf courses.

the amount of chemicals that are used on that grass is staggering.

In my golf magazine it said you could not even put your cigar down on the grass its that bad.

but i guess it makes it way down into the water supply eventually and we all end of drinking it haha.

His entire blog is cool. some great pictures of ice forming

and an AMAZING section on ice safety, and ice safety with DOGS.
and really good advice on ice claws. a great read.

thanks for the post Ballard! +1

My guess small 1-5 acre ponds will be safe come the 25th in North Ohio.

So next weekend hopefully it will start.

Icefishing is one of my favorite things to do and 1/36th of my estimated life has passed by since Ive been out there. ... (feb 2011)

I think its time to sell my truck buy a Prius and move to Canada ....
