Yup, I saw some shanties out on Lake Wingra today! Unfortunately, I made a pact with myself not to do any fishing until my thesis is finished. It's tough love on myself, I know, but it serves as good motivation.
Haha, that's right. It's important to be properly prepared when you're out on the ice, which means you need something with a little more kick than coffee or hot chocolate to warm you up.
I picked up some Oscar Blues Ten FIDY (F*** It, Do it Yourself) imperial stout to get me through the cold this year. As far as I know, it's the strongest beer that can be purchased in a can in the world (10% abv). I'm really looking forward to it! http://cache.thephoenix.com/secure/uploadedImages/The_Phoenix/Food/Sipping/Ten-Fidy-3INSIDE.jpg

can't wait to hear about your ice fishing experience...good luck Ben!
Hey Ben, it looked like my house Monday morning. Thanks, but I'll pass on the ice fishing. Good luck though.

4" of great, clear ice here on the ponds - a few guys are on them already. Maybe this weekend!

I'll be out there soon.
Ice fishing, that is when your drink starts to get warm, right?
Thanks for the words Ben, I too am glad that my boat was ok.
Cheers
