An ex ice fishing guide here in northern Minnesota
Have changed my ways this this year and am now teaching kids and adults how to ice fish yes it?s a busy life but I?m liking it..
During the summer months I work at maddens resort in the Brainerd lakes area as a grounds keeper trends to keep me in shape for ice fishing.. Each year I log well over 25,000 miles ether fishing or teaching people how to fish in Minnesota mostly the northern part but I do travel to southern Minnesota too. I grew up on the banks of the crow wing river just north of staples Mn on my parents farm which I now own ..

Yes sir, you certainly appear to be an outdoor marketers dream.

I use a jiggle stick my Dad had and a home built fishhouse with a homemade wood stove.

BUT! Now that I have a job at Cabela's that is all going to change.

Very cool Iceman. I'd like to see more blogs on MNO, just have to figure out the easiest way.

Now you know why i hate the citys so much.. :cowboy:

I lived out in the sticks over half my life. Even hungout at the Birds Nest on Borden Lake for about a year. (I dated Terri when she was a hottie about 15 years ago). The Burbs ain't that bad when you know were to go to escape.

I lived out in the sticks over half my life. /quote]


what about the other half of your life ?

[Big Slick]

The other half I took it easy. To much work to do living in the country. It seemed there was always something to fix, feed, or paint. Now it's steel sideing, no animals and a fairly new house that neads very little upkeep.  ::
Still have most of the toys but no-longer live on the lake with a 4 acre yard to mow and a 200 yard driveway to keep the snow off of.  ::cheers::

LIFE IS GOOD!

[iceman]

[Big Slick]
