Ice Fishing Tip of the Day

[davetclown]

with out a doubt, in 20 feet during wite out conditions you can get turnd around as much as 30 degrees. in an acre as much as 60 degreesand, and at 50 yards as much as 180 degrees. especscialy when you get varing winds and you are trying to use the wind to hold your barrings.

for any one who dose not beleive this, the should take the test them selves.

find a community foot ball feild, stand in the middle of the goal post and attempt to walk to the other goal post compleatly blind folded on a colm over cast day.

be sure to take some one with you to keep you out of harms way. I have ran this particular excercize numorus times with the 4-H both leaders, and youths. and this is a great camp event. you will be amaized where you will end up.

here is another excersize, place a flag where you are ice fishing. take one look at your place of destination, then only look at the the ground in front of your feet untill you reach shore. trun around and look back at your path and see just how badly you varied off and just how fast you started heading in the wrong direction.

the results of these test will only be a fraction of what can happen during fog and white out conditions.

great tip AL... thanks, that is one for the books for sure...
