[size 3]Ok you got your brand new digital camera for Christmas and you take it out with you on your ice fishing trip to get some chillingly shocking ice fishing reports, and a couple hours passes while sitting on the ice and here it comes the big pay off, what you were waiting for ... I giant pike! Latches on to your line, you get him up to the hole. You even manage to get its head out of the hole, and you find that his body is too big to pull up though the hole with out ripping your hands to shreds. [/size]
[size 3]You of course know that no one is going to believe you in a million years that you caught a mammoth fish so big you couldn’t get through the hole and you had to let it go. You remember you have that brand new digital camera; you grab it and start taking pictures from all sides to get the best shot. And while you are at it you take a couple pic's of your smaller fish laying on the ice.[/size]
[size 3]You let the pike go because you know you are never going to ever get him out with out killing him, and you were just catching him any way just so you could say you got one, a good day all in all. And what a fish tail! And the best thing of all is you have a pic to show every one the accounts of your exaggerations.[/size]
[size 3]You get home and you find that the camera dose not have any pictures in it. You know you put in brand new batteries before you went out on the lake. And the battery is still alive though a bit week when you get home to down load. [/size]
[size 3]Well here is what has happened. The battery lost most of its charge in the sub freezing temps. The camera demand mere juice to run its functions in sub freezing temps as well, so when you went to take your first pic and if you are lucky second or third pic the camera is done. The batteries are shot. [/size]
[size 3]Now you are looking at that camera like it is the biggest waist of time and is a piece of junk, and you wont even consider ever taking it out on another fishing trip with you because is just isn’t reliable.[/size]
[size 3]Guys if you read this tip before you venture in to Jacks Frost's back yard all is not lost, but if you have and are not sure you can trust it, there is still hope.[/size]
[size 3]Remember by dressing in layers, you have an inside shirt pocket under all that thermal baggage and if you did not buy some monstrosity of a camera you can keep in there and there for keep it worm and functioning through your entire fishing trip.[/size]
