Nick and I decided to go ice fishing this last Saturday. When I say we I actually mean 'me' lol. I have to explain to those that don't know this but I hate being cold. Nick on the other hand loves winter and the coolness. However, we are a strange couple because we sleep with the window open and the heat turned down to 59 degrees every night. This obviously violates everything I have just said. So I have decided that if I can be bundled up in
either a blanket or tons of layers in this case I am ready to rock and roll. As I asked Nick if we could go ice fishing he seemed hesitant because he knows I hate the cold. As the day came closer and closer I was becoming anxious because I love to fish!! YAY! As we rolled out of bed at 6 am with both of us mumbling under our breath, we were ready. Once we arrived at Palisades Dam, I was crazy excited. We basically rolled down the side to the ice and set up camp. A couple actually fell through the ice on the edge and got their boots and legs wet. I felt really bad. Nick also got his feet wet, poor guy, so he was miserably cold. He didn't get much fishing in because he was trying to dry his socks and shoes with the little space heater in the warming hut. I on the other hand had my toes and fingers crossed because dang it, I needed a fish! haha I wanted fish for dinner so badly! I got two nibbles and I thought I was gonna rip the line out of the water without even rolling up my line! Besides getting wet and being cold we both had a great time enjoying the scenery. Two other guys caught a fish each, both a white rainbow averaging around 17 inches long (yeah crazy huh, you can imagine how jealous I was!). As I have already concluded I am getting stuff to go ice fishing on our own. Nick will be joining me when we hook him up with some sweet warm gear. Watch out fish, I have my eye on you! ;)
