Cold, snowy, and wet rain here. Trying to get out for some rainbows and
search for crappie just as soon as the ice melts on my boat. I guess I
could go ice fishing, but I have a freezer full, and it's just as cheap to
buy it at the store. What bait does one use to catch ice, anyway?

A cotton ball soaked in distilled water stuck through a
number two hook. Doesn't matter if it is barbless. You
can use tap water if you aren't classy enough to have
distilled water around.

Toss on to the nearest ice flow and allow 2 minutes for the
cotton ball to freeze to the ice flow. Then set the hook ...

It is an awesome spectacle when they jump. :-)

The sun came out today, and my boat thawed. Time to get working on it, and
do some fishing. If it clears up, I'll go this week. I can put up with
most anything, but when it's windy, I'd just as soon watch rasslin'.

Lots of snow on the ground in Iowa and lakes almost ready for ice
fishing. I keep my sanity by planning my fishing trips for the spring
and woeking on my website. http://www.crazyfisherman.com
