Pork Rind,

You catch anything up there? The time i went there and ice fished it seemed like the dead sea. Hardly no weeds and miles of 8 ft. of water.

WOW!  Two months at least to go here.  Historically speaking.
Born to fish, forced to go to work and think about fishing and talk about fishing with coworkers.

the lake next to my house is completly frozen, its been four four days.
The nameless men who nameless rivers travel,
And in strange valleys greet strange deaths alone;
The grim, intrepid ones who would unravel
The mysteries that shroud the Polar Zone.
