Ice Ice Baby

Alright, stop- collaborate and listen, ice fishin's back and its an old invention.
That's right, ice fishing is back, and it's not just for Santa Claus and his elves. Even the cool kids like Caleb and I are doing it. While it didn't get cold enough to ice fish this past winter, the winter of 2007 provided totally awesome ice fishing.
We started out on Long Pond by drilling a hole with a drill that we bought from a totally sketchy guy in a parking lot in Pawcatuck. While it was a shady deal, the drill does the job.
We drill the hole and then set the bait in these adorable little traps. The bait we use is fish eggs. (are they salmon eggs?) Bright red and such. After a while, if you see a little flag go up, you might have a fish on the line! As seen here, on this fishing trip, Caleb and I totally snagged an ole' pumpkinseed!

Now, if you get too cold and you don't have any four-wheelers to ride of an ice cottage and fire to warm up, you can totally breakdance, as I am demonstrating in this picture.

Be careful while ice fishing. Make sure that you have AT least 4 inches of solid ice before shassaying out onto the floor!
