My Ice Fishing experience in US - Jan 2008
 
Hello ALL,

Not sure if we have a fishing kaki here in AF??:D

If yes I'm sure that you should be always searching for a good lobong for fishing? I like fishing since I'm in primary time, always hang around with a bunch of friends and DIY our fish rod and we can almost spend for a full day at those river nearby our kampung(village).

But I stopped on this hubby since after working until now. On Jan 2008, company sending couple of us to US for our new product transfer. That was a winter time in US and one of our US colleague, who's a fishing kaki and ask if we are interested in Ice Fishing!! haha.....We heard Ice Fishing before but never experience on it, so make up our mind and ON lah....fixed a date and he drive us to one of so called biggest lake in Minnesota for Ice Fishing.

Here are some of the pics that I took during the One whole day Fishing activity!!!

Enjoy and kindly share your comments if anyone having the same experience b4....

Mr Eric(my US colleague name) Fishing House - Was told DIY by him!!!
He personally put the fishing house in the lake in a week earlier. Picture was taken around 6am after we arrived.

We drill more (about 6 to 10) on this type of small hole outside of the fishing house.

It was the COLDEST winter according to them, u r right bro, but night time should be in between -20 to -27C....day time around 0 to -7C. He put a generator inside the house for heater and some lights. There is no stove inside the house. Let me dig further if I have more pics in the fishing house....

Sorry for stupid question, but how does one answer nature's big and small calls in this kind of temperature in the middle of a frozen lake?
