“Ice Shack”
Some people say that ice fishing is boring, because they had to sit and fish in the cold. They would say they would rather be somewhere warm instead of fishing in the cold, and where they could make something eat whenever they would have the urge to eat. Having an ice shack makes fishing much more enjoyable, when I am able to be comfortable and not be cold or hungry. I personally own an ice shack to do those things in an ice shack. Having an ice shack is very helpful. I like that I can cook, eat, take off my jacket, and be comfortable while fishing. When I get in the shack I don’t have to walk far, nor do I have to set up anything for fishing.

When I get to the shack, I can feel the cold frost on the lock. I grab the handle of the door and enter my shack, smelling a sweet smell of burnt wood. I start getting the fire lit; I feel the heat of the fire on my cold hands. While I’m feeding the fire small kindle and bigger pieces of wood; I open the blinds on the window and get my pole and grubs and get ready to fish. I can hear the crackling of the wood as it is burning; I then throw a couple thicker pieces of wood in the stove. I sit down; drop my jig down with a wax worm. I turn on my Aqua Vu fish TV and angle it towards my jig. As I am fishing, I tend to hear the ice cracking. I then hold my pole and jig it up and down slowly, and watch the TV. I see the fish on the TV; it helps so much with catching fish. After the fish die down and aren’t biting as much, I made some brats, the brats tasted great. As dark approaches the fish don’t bite as much, so I had let the fire die down. I hung my pole up and proceeded to pack up my gear, and close the wooden door covering the holes. I shut the blinds and check the fire one last time before I leave. I grab the handle of the door and opened, feeling the brisk cold air rushing into the shack. I can feel the freezing temperature of the lock. I then left on the makeshift ice road to the

    The two types of ice that are encountered during flight are clear and rime. Clear ice is formed when the remaining liquid fragments of the water drop flows over the aircraft surface, constantly freezing as a smooth layer of solid ice. Forming occurs when droplets are bigger, such as in heavy rain or in thunderstorm clouds. Clear ice is solid, hard, heavy, and cohesive. Removing it by deicing equipment is very challenging.…

    The article ‘The Frozen Closet’ by Abigail Jones was a defiant statement made about figure skaters personally pertaining to male figure skaters. Jones stating, “The message is clear: When competing, being gay may not hurt you, but being straight helps”, was enough to grab any reader’s attention that was disconnected before hand. The author, Abigail, talks about how USFS(United States Figure Skating) is still closeted themselves yet Obama sends all homosexual competitors to compete in homophobic Russia. She has gathered enough first-hand encounters such as judges or former competitors with personal narratives of what has happened or safe to say still happening.…

    The Caney Fork River, in its precociousness, is not usually an early morning river and you don’t “have” to rise early to fish it. But this morning I wanted to avoid the “canoe hatch” – a seemingly endless chain of loud, alcohol guzzling paddlers with their beer coolers in tow. The quintessence of modern reality, the “canoe hatch” puts a damper on quality fishing experiences.…

Grieving is a strong, overwhelming feeling that is completely resistless; it is a universal state and a powerful personal experience.

Whether it is caused by the death of a loved one, the ending of a serious relationship, or even a job loss, grief causes a never-ending, emotional pain to an individual that cannot be controlled. The everlasting pain is also experienced when jumping into freezing water. The harsh and severe impact of the freezing water sends disturbing thrills to one's body.

    It was a cold snowy morning on the frozen shores of Lake Superior. I unloaded all of my ice fishing supplies from my truck and back my ATV out of the trailer. The ice was at least a foot thick by this time of year according to the people in town more than safe enough for the trip out on the lake. I gassed up my ATV and strapped down all my gear and headed out to my shanty. Trying to navigate in these conditions is very treacherous having only a general idea on the whereabouts of my shanty is would be difficult. Finally, the weather cleared for a few minutes allowing me to spot my shanty that was luckily still standing. I unlocked the door and fired up my ice drill which drilled through the ice like a hot knife through butter.I turned on my heater and waited for it to warm up which felt like an eternity in the frigid winter temperatures that hovered around zero and the biting wind outside made it almost unbearable. I waited for my father and his brothers to arrive with the…

    Fishing has become my favorite hobby in the last decade of my life. I have been fishing, specifically Lake Conroe, since the age of 9 and I have found myself on the Lake more and more these past years. I believe fishing to a social sport. We all know that fishing is relaxing being out in nature during the quiet hours of the morning. And we know that fishing can be exciting when you get to hook in to said fish. But what you may have not thought of is, fishing is a time when two or more people get to share a fun exciting experience when you are both working towards a goal together. Even when one may be teaching a “guppy” how to fish there is nothing like sharing the experience with them. The look in their eyes as they…
