Ice Fishing

Winter on Cable Lake usually winds down to staring into a hole in the ice and waiting. The annual Tamarack Tavern Ice Fishing contest was this saturday on Cable lake. The gizmo at the bottom of the picture is a fish finder, which practically will give you the serial number of the fish you are about to catch. We are in Jake's ice house.......



..........Necessary ingredients include a couple of drunken friends.........


....a steady supply of Renee's bananacran bread, a fillet knife (to cut the bread as no fish will be bothering us)............



....you need your dog and a Blondie (wait, that's Renee)............


............ HOLY SHIT!!.....A FISH!!........





....Renee is squealing, "Let me hold it!"............


....next thing you know, the sun is coming up. The contest is over. Your puny little fish did not win. But it is a beautiful morning to sit in the hot tub.........

My Grand Dad always said "If you cut the whole bigger the fish will be bigger!!" You might win next year with that one tip. Bob
