My ice fishing day!

ICE FISHING , MAN I'VE HAD MY FILL OF IT ALREADY ![mad]

FIRST I WENT TO THE SPORTING GOODS STORE , BOUGHT MYSELF ALL THE BASIC NECESSITYS , A SPUD , ICE DIPPER , AUGRE , ICE ROD , TIP UP AND A DANG ICE SHANTY . SPENT HOURS IN LINE TOO , CRISTMASS RUSH , WHERE' S THE RUSH , IT SHOULD BE CALLED THE X-MASS STAND AND WAIT .

STARTED SPUDDING AT FIRST LIGHT , SPUD A LITTLE , SCOOP SOME ICE , SPUD A LITTLE MORE , SCOOP A LITTLE MORE , HOUR AFTER HOUR . WELL I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH SPACE TO LAUNCH THE BOAT AND GO BACKWARDS OUT TO MY FAVORITE SPOT , TOSSED OUT THE SHANTY JUST TO WATCH IT SINK . I'M WRITTING A STROMGLY WOORDED LETTER TO THAT MANUFACTURER ABOUT THERE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT .

SO I TRIED THE TIP UP , IT FLAGGED AND THEN SPOOLED OUT AND WENT UNDER TOO , MUSTA BEEN A BIG FISH , LUCKELY I WAS USING THE ICE ROD AS A TROLLING ROD HAD THE TIP UP TIED ON LIKE A PLANER BOARD , NOT THAT I WAS TARGETING PLANER FISH , I NEVER COUGHT A PLANER FISH AND I'M NOT SURE OF PLANER SEASON AND THERE LIMITS . GOOD THING THE DNR DIDN'T SEE ME .

ANY WAY THE LINE BROKE SO ALL I HAD LEFT WAS THE AUGRE , SPUD AND ICE DIPPER , SO I FIGURED I'D DRILL ME A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT AND SEE IF I COULD REACH MY BOTTOM DWELLING GEAR WITH THE SPUD .

IT DSIDN'T WORK AS PLANNED . I LOST THE SPUD , THE ICE DIPPER WOULDN'T BAIL OUT ANY HOLE I COUD SEE AND MY BOAT SANK !

THERE I WAS LEFT WITH ALL THE GEAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE AND THE ICE HAD FROSE BACK UP , I WAS TRAPPED ! THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE .

I HOPE SPRING COMES SOON , OTHERWISE I'LL BE STUCK OUT HERE ALL WINTER !
