I’ve never understood the allure of ice fishing - for this exact reason. What a terrible way to die.

It’s actually alot of fun. There’s a real inner peace to being out there first thing in the morning when the world isn’t awake yet. Plus fresh perch through the ice is one of the tastiest fish you can have. But you really need to know and understand the ice conditions. Not everyone enjoys it.

I absolutely would enjoy the fishing part but can’t get over the terror of being on ice.

I can understand that. Very similar fear as to climbing a ladder. I used to hate it as a kid because I couldn’t catch anything. When I got older and learned to fish better, I could make money selling perch, and fill my freezer too. It’s easy to catch the fever and cast away common sense to get out there and try to fill a bucket. Humans are a complicated species.

The booming of ice flexing when it’s cold is so awesome
