Thought I would share a great winter sport we enjoy here in Nova Scotia, Canada.We spear silvery little fish known as smelts . They are really tasty when rolled in flour with salt & pepper, and fried in blistering hot oil till they are good and crispy. Mmmm :clap , I can't wait for the water to freeze and hit the ice. We use small shacks with a hole about 2 feet by 4 feet inside it . The smelts swim through with a little enticing using chum and we spear them as they dart through....This is a great way to kill time in the winter. I was out last week and there was only 3 inches of ice and didn't notice the tide had risen to the banks of the harbor, well, needless to say I did get wet feet trying to get off as I went through the ice into about 2 feet of water :censored . Here are some pics. from last winter.
Ive always viewed ice fishing as absolute hard core. I would need good booze to stay warm :rockon
That little box is about the size of a outhouse. Don't let cr0ck in there. LOL
caught smelts in lake huron on the shore in the spring. thay are very tasty. clean'em with scissors. ice fishing was not for me-toooo boring, no football to watch.
I tried ice fishing. Caught 20 pounds of ice!
