Up until a few months ago I never understood the allure of going fishing.
I tried it a few times when I was younger, and it bored me to tears every single time.
So when my buddy asked me to go ice fishing with him earlier this year, my first impulse was to say no. He kept on me about it, and finally I caved in and agreed to go with him, and I am so glad that I did! It’s hard to believe that sitting in a tiny little wooden shack on top of a frozen lake could be so much fun, but it really is. The main problem, of course, is the heating, because you need to keep yourself warm without putting too much heat on the ice. Don’t get me wrong this ice is 2 or 3 feet thick and it would take a little space heater several hours, maybe even days, to weaken that much ice. So it isn’t like having a heater out there puts me in any real danger, if anything the real danger is having no heating at all. I read about one guy who slept in a cot in his ice shack, and his heater went cold in the middle of the night. That guy never woke up, so you better believe that I am very careful about the heating sources I use while fishing. I have a rechargeable space heater that I like to use, and it can be charged up off my car battery too, which is a real help out here.
