My personal favorite times on the ice will involve the sounds of ice being made, the cracking of ice while it is relieving stress from making ice, and the sound of a sharp-bladed hand auger as it cuts through the SAFE ice!
Add to that the chance of hooking into a line-stripping PB fish, and you'll only understand a fraction of the various appeals of ice fishing.
I learned to love the winter when I skied and snowboarded, but as age took its toll on my knees, I decided decades back to try ice fishing as another winter past time. I haven't regretted it one bit!
Add to that the chance you will have to meet others that share a similar interest and the chance you will have to introduce someone else (a kid possibly) to this sport, and how can you lose?
