i'ts a hour and a half ride over to bassass's house from mine and another half hour to the foote dam site or oscoda where i do the steelhead fishing , a trip like that demands an all day fishing " go for broke " attitude . there's ice all along the river bank wich will give you an idea on how cold the water is . ten minutes in cold running water without some protection is enough to give you the smirf feet let alone gell your blood and invite the old heart-a-stroke in your direction .
i'm talking the kind of cold that makes that trip up to the public outhouses a decision making trip , men's or has the cold made you qualify for the lady's facility ? lol !
not that i'm a die-hard fishing fanatic or anything like that , but once the shakes pass and the sinking of a fishing hook into my frosen fingers no longer hurts when pulling them out , i figure well it can't get much better than that . so i just keep on fishing untill a big old steelhead comes along to get the adrelin pumping .
i just can't picture myself warming up in the jeep knowing a record steelie just might swim by my spot while i'm waiting for the ice cycles to thaw off the moustache . i can't pass a fish like that up , cold or not .
not that i'm a die hard fishing fanatic or anything like that ...........
