When we got checked by the pickerel police at Catawba the warden said "That is the creepiest thing I have ever seen and you seem drunk".
Fishing has been less than stellar for me this year but I love being out there. Hunters are a minority, big water icefishermen are a statistical error. Glad Nathan finally convinced me to fish Saginaw Bay. Had tons of fun and got a decent ice fix, may try it one more time even if it is just to learn.
