I would watch shows with envy, because fishing season closed in the fall here in Nova Scotia. I'm thinking around 6 or 7 years they gave us a winter season and I was hooked standing in the local tackle shop buying a auger, the next day my daughter pulled our first chain pickeral onto the ice and there was no going back
They closed fishing? Really---Is it still that way?
I got hooked the first time my boyfriend (now husband) took me ice fishing in 2004 on a small lake near Grand Rapids, MN. We had only been dating a short time. I pulled a 41 inch northern up through the ice, screamed, and ran about 20 feet away. I knew I was "hooked". We got engaged about a week later. Spent every penny we had on ice fishing gear and have no regrets. I will pick a day on the ice or in the woods with my husband over any night out with friends. It's almost scary how passionate we are about ice fishing, but I look at it as a healthy hobby and we're not sitting in the bar being stupid.
