It’s almost ice fishing time
Ice fishing is one of the things we Northern sportsmen eagerly anticipate. Some of the lakes are starting to freeze over and a lot of the small ponds and shallower lakes have an inch or two of ice. The larger and more wind swept lakes won’t be ready for ice fishing for a few weeks but first ice, ice fishing is the best there is.
If ou’re new to ice fishing then check out the articles on this fishing site. There are 4 or 5 ice fishing articles for you to look at and some ice fishing tips and tricks to help you catch more fish. You can find it at this ice fishing page.
I particularly liked the article about ice fishing for northern pike and the technique the guy used with the smelt and the Dr. Juice Northern scent. Lol, it’s one of those nuggets of pure gold that you can find on the net now and then.
There are a lot of things to be aware of if you are new to ice fishing and there are some different safety issues than you have in the summer time. I never started driving on the ice until at least a week after the first idiot did. I’m also not the last to drive on the ice. When it starts warming up I’m done on the ice, I don’t care what others do.
Eastern SD has some of the best winter fishing around and if you’re going to be in that area I suggest you give it a try. If it’s your first time I’d also recommend hiring a guide so you can get some first hand safety tips and learn the techniques of catching fish through the ice. It’s a good time and it’s perfect for families.
Easy ground beef recipes to cut the high cost of food
Ground beef is a perfect cost cutter. I found this easy ground beef recipes site and it doesn’t have a lot of recipes but it does have some very good and very easy ground beef recipes.
I know times are tight for you, they are for me too. I cut back on driving to save money, I started eating at home more and I started buying lots more ground beef because it’s cheap and I got tired of chicken.
The next thing that happened was I got tired fo homemade cheeseburgers and frys or meatloaf and baked potatoes. There are a ton of things you cn make from ground beef but the problem is I didn’t know how to make any of them or even if the ones I found would taste good.
So I tried this hamburger potato casserole and it was excellent. However I did discover one problem, it needs way more salt than the recipe calls for. I’ll remember that for the next time I make it.
Politics and the economy got you depressed
The nastiness of the politics of this election and the economy can cause a major depression if you let it stress you out to much. If you think you are even close to depressed you should check out these signs of major depression.
If you’re tired of watching all the mud slinging and dirty politics at least that stress will be gone tomorrow. Only one more day to the election. I’m tired of watching supposedly adult men and women act like two year olds. That’s depressing all by itself. Just thinking about having a president who has temper tantrums, lies for their own personal power gains and distorts the truth to gain power is not someone we need as president.
It’s depressing to think the two choices we have both act like little kids rather than adults. Name calling, lies and innuendo should not be part of picking a leader for our great country. I don’t see anyone who exhibits those tendencies as being capable to lead us to a better place. That’s depressing.
Then there’s the economy. That’s even more depressing than the people we have lying to us about what they are going to do and lying about the other candidate. Personally I’m not going to vote for Obama or McCain.
