1895
Though the ice was melted quite a bit, some folks can’t resist getting one more day of ice fishing in. I shot this from the shore with a long zoom since I didn’t want to step out on the ice. After all, I’m not getting hazardous duty pay.
ice fishing in paradise

Yeah . . . that looks nuts.
I went back the next day and there was no ice. I don’t know what happened to this guy. I wonder if he caught any fish!
Wow; that’s cutting it pretty close.
Yeah…a bit on the stupid side of a choice if you ask me. Did you check the news to see if anyone has been reported missing, Ken. 🙂
Thanks, Earl. All I can think of is that the ice fishermen know what they’re doing. At least more so than I. I didn’t check for missing persons, but I would have noticed the divers in the water.
Yeah, that’s a bit too much water around for me to trust that ice … getting a bit thin, there! 😀
I know. When you can see through the ice, it’s too thin to walk on.
Looks like he’s frozen to the spot. Let’s hope he got off before he got carried away on an ice floe
I’m just grateful that he wore a yellow slicker just for me.
I guess these folks are like golfers. 😉
Nice image, Ken!
. . . uh. . . I’ve never heard of a golfer falling through the fairway and needing rescuing. What kind of golf courses are out your way?
I don’t think they would rescue a golfer, even if he did fall through the fairway.
Wait a second! . . . they might rescue me; I’m a golfer. Well . . . someone who has golfed. Don’t golf much these days.
Of course you are the exception.
. . . worried, I am, of breaking through the fairway, and be left grounded.
Not to worry. Most modern fairways are heavily reinforced to prevent such occurrences from happening again.
Hahaha… Neither have I. But you never know…
I meant the mentality, of course. 😉
Frozen balls anybody! Not my idea of fun…
They are made of composite with a solid core . . . difficult to freeze; however, one does tend to lose a lot of them, but golfers are used to that.
What makes you think I was referring to golf? LOL. 😉
What other balls could a lady possibly be referring to?
😉
I always wondered where fish in the frozen foods section came from. Now I know. Can’t imagine there is much sport in dragging frozen fish through the ice.
Also, had I know fish balls have a solid core I never would have tried one. They looked so good breaded. Why didn’t my dentist warn me?
Anyone know the composition (and source) of fish fingers? The always seem to be frozen.
Fish fingers are comprised of actual fingers from ice fishermen Who were careless. There may be some actual fish in there but not likel, since I don’t think they catch many fish. Still, they taste good with a little tartar sauce.
I was worried that might be what they were. Given the numbers of fish fingers in the stores, there must be an awful lot of fisherman in colder climes that only have palms and thumbs at the ends of their arms. Why do they never show this in Ice Fishing Magazine and similar publications?
It’s the whole Soylent Green thing. And there is a huge money trail in the Frozen Fish Finger industry. If word got out about what “Fish” fingers really are, there would be world wide panic. I think it’s best to avoid that at all costs. Know what I mean?
