  1. Some ice fisherman is still looking for a catch today.

  2. What #icefishing can teach us about making #foraging decisions
    Humans are natural #foragers in even most extreme habitats, digging up tubers in tropics, gathering mushrooms, picking berries, hunting seals in Arctic, and fishing to meet our dietary needs. Human foraging is sufficiently complex scientists believe that meeting so many diverse challenges helped our species develop memory, navigational abilities, social learning skills and similar advanced cognitive functions.

  18. Several social media sources say: Ppl in Minnesota are deliberately putting Mexican flags on their cars so that CBP/DHS/ICE waste time chasing them.

    They're calling it ICE fishing.
    WTG!

  19. I know it's from #Wisconson, home of the #Packers, but I can't resist #Leinenkugel Snow Drift Vanilla Porter #beer when I'm #IceFishing.
    That and #IceHole Schnapps. Keeps me warm. Yeah, that's it.

  20. Not much going on... Yet.
    I prefer to #IceFish without these things. They make me impatient. But kids like them.

  22. I have a good view of the lake from my office, and I'm wondering what sort of brain damage causes people to drill a hole in the ice and sit on a bucket for a couple of hours in single-digit temperatures.
    There's only a couple of things I'd hate doing more than ice-fishing, and they involve plumbing.

  31. went #icefishing earlier today. Complete bust. The guys far away tho caught a lot and that's our usual spot. I think it would be only fair if they gave us half their catch!
