You have alcohol so at least your catching a buzz...

Story...went to a company Christmas party or something with my wife and met some of her co-workers. Next day she asks me what I thought of some of them. I told her I couldn’t fish with them. She was like WTF are you talking about. Explained what it means to be able to fish 12 plus hours with a buddy and someone you like out on a boat catching nothing. You better have something in common to talk about and like the bastard....To this day she asks me after meeting people if I could fish with them

Back on topic, looks like fun and I never ice fished but would love try it some day. Where I live the only winter fishing I’ve done is fishing the warm water discharges from power plants cooling turbines or whatever. A sauna for fish in the winter...
