My Brother the Ice FishermanPosted Monday, February 8, 2010, at 11:04 AM
A while back I wrote a blog about Ice fishing and included a picture of my brother standing in front of his Ice shack Here is that picture
Apparently his local News paper thought he is pretty cool as they did a little story about him Here's the link http://portagedailyregister.com/news/loc... I think he is pretty cool too. I think its great that a senior citizen will go out and do things like this. I think he turns 66 this month..... Oh Oh I could be in trouble now if I am wrong on his birthday or for telling everyone how old I think he is. lol ! I remember those days growing up in Northern Wisconsin I didn't ice fish however I was very into ice skating, did a little figure skating but my favorite was speed skating and Hockey..... I sort of was a tom boy back in that time. lol !

That was a great story, thanks for sharing!
I'm with you, I don't like the wind,...and I can dress pretty darn warm, but that wind does try to sneak in your cloths.

I hate the wind ! I can take the snow and the rain but the wind thats a different story. My opinion is with the wind you can't fish, you can't sit outside, and you can't barbecue.....lol !
I am glad I am not the only one with the same question (lol). He does look happy. Maybe he only goes in if it is snowy, raining, etc. I like to be out in the winter myself. The only thing that will get me is wind with rain/snow. Once you get wet and cold...you are pretty much done. Winters here are mild and it sure beats the heat!

I was wondering the same thing and my husband also asked why is he fishing outside of his shack? I will have to ask him.
When I was a kid I used to skate on a lake...
Also back in the 80's here in the winter we had a cold spell where it froze over the cove out at strike and I have a picture of me standing out in the middle of the cove. lol ! I was fearless then...
Okay...I have to ask. If he has an "ice shack" to sit in and stay warm (or at least warmer)...why is he outside fishing and not "inside?" I had to ask. I am a warmer climate fisher person and do not like to play on ice covered lakes (right back to if it can go wrong...it will go wrong). So, I guess I do not understand the sport 100%. Clarification please. Many thanks.
Cute story Mar! Thank you. He has a very cute dog too!
