I never could get into ice fishing. Did it as a kid and standing around freezing your butt just isn't as much fun as it looks.

Photographs by M.E. from Encino, United States

Lorraine, ice fishing is Greek to M.E. nevertheless it is a your "ok that's a good spot" is a great shot! (ice fishing or not...)

2 Mar 2008 11:24pm

@Photographs by M.E.: Lovely comment M.E. thank you, right now, right this moment, I totally wish it were Greek to me to ;)

Bonj from Jefferson City, United States

I am sure they are talking about where they should go for dinner instead of waiting around for the fish to bite. Of course the plus is that they don't have a problem keeping the beer cold. :-) Nice shot.

3 Mar 2008 12:15am

@Bonj: You are a very wise person, my bet is they're heading for McDonald's ;) thanks a lot!

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

I must say.....those two are addicts!!! Otherwise.....why stand on the ice for hours just to get some miserable fish?! Even fishes stay put in winter!

3 Mar 2008 12:19am

@Japanalia: I personally don't have a clue, but I hope they keep on doing it, it makes great photos ;) Thanks a lot Gabriela...

ManuelaR from Hainburg, Germany
