Ah yes a great Northern tradition ice fishing. Drill a hole in the ice and fish.

and sit and fish.

Others thought “It is cold and the wind howls. Let us build something to block the wind.”

Located next to Jimmy’s shack, who I am sure, will be my biggest customer.
It’s so convenient!
I can beat that old pirate’s prices and deliver right to your doorstep! Place your order to Gangplank on Ice and I will see to it personally!
How can you beat me in convenience I am 3 feet away from Jimmy? Ha ha ha.
The price does not seem to bother the good folk of the village.
*Counts the days earnings.
Run home little boy maybe Junie will give you some milk and cookies.
Outstanding photo parallels. Thank you Osric.
And thank *you* Captain Lupindo!
To further get you into the ice-fishing mood I present a clip from Grumpy Old Men.
In this great scene you get to see ice-fishing and a unique tour of the village.
