Ice Fishing!

I decided that I am going to start experiencing different things in life! I'm not going to pass up things I used to. I am having a blast hanging out and trying new things.

One of the recent new things was.. ice fishing!! I have a friend who was going with a group, and invited me to go.. okay so lets back up here. What do you think of when you think of ice fishing? Anything I have ever seen, you're sitting, on a bucket or a chair, over a hole in the ice. So I THOUGHT I dressed warm. I had new snow boots, wool socks, thermals, jeans, snow pants, then tank top, thermals, hoody, winter coat..oh WAIT, I forgot my coat. WHAT???? Really???



 
So anyway..My friend kept saying, if you're cold when you're fishing, you're not doing it right. what?!  Low and behold, here comes out a tent, and propane heaters. Wow. spoiled!  It was so cold when we first got there, the tips of my hair were turning white, and my nose hairs were like frozen together. I have never experienced that it was crazy!! I had remembered a beanie thank goodness. Well its a dang good thing we fish the cheating way because without my winter coat it would have been miserable! And brand new freaking snow boots with wool socks and my toes freaking hurt and were cold just from a few minutes on the ice.


 
 
 

 
 
 
SO, pretty awesome, cut a hole in the ice.. Put the tent over and it like blacked it out and you could actually see down into the bottom of the lake! We sat there with the poles for a few hours and then I got to actually see the fish bite the bait! I was like the only one out of everyone to catch a fish! I have been wanting to try cooking with fish more cuz its good for you.. so my friend showed me how to cook the fish, and it was really good! It was a rainbow trout! and.. it was Samarah's first time eating fish.. and she loved it! she ate a ton but kept calling it chicken.

Can't wait for the next new thing!
