What do you do to pass the time away when you are out on the ice and the fishin is slow?  Personally i just like being out there.

Nothing like a lunch break and a shanty nap to even out the day.

Put on my head phones and listen to music, at age 59 I don't care if I catch anything or not, I have had my day!

Start walking around and talking to other people, see if they are doing any better. Other wise start changing jigs and presentation.

I went down to the sporting goods store and got a new rod and reel for my wife.....pretty good trade, don't ya think?

Ketchup and grease instead of catch and release
