Ice Fishing Is Fun.

  I can hear you from here."C'mon Smoothstar, no it's not." Stay with me a minute. At first glance it might seem like staring into a hole. Yes, there is a certain amount of that, but there is so much more.
   I bought what looked like a brand new auger two summers ago (yard sale  baby). My wife asked why, "You don't ice fish." she said. I can damn well start. Eight bucks for a brand new auger was more than I could resist. Last february I got out on the ice, all thirty inches of it, and commenced to drilling. Wow, what a great workout.Twenty minutes of augering is like a couple of miles of running.One hole drilled, five to go. I won't go on and on. Call me if you want to hear the whole story.
  If you drink, buy those big cans of Fosters, A Fosters slush puppy at sunrise on a frozen lake staring into a hole  and you won't have to ask me why.
