OK so what's the attraction...

Go out in sub-zero cold, Give yourself a heart attack drilling and
dipping a hole in the ice, set up your shelter that is almost as
insulated as a T-Shirt, Then sit there with a tiny pole trying to catch
fish that didn't want to bite when it was good weather...

Looked over the local lakes/ponds and saw a total of 2 shanties. Ice
isn't very good yet. Lot's of open water though.

None. I raise domesticated ice at home. Makes better quality rum and cokes
in my opinion too.

Never tried ice fishing but I bass fish year round - been out many
times when I had to dip my rod in the water to melt ice in the guides.
I would rather be fishing than sitting at home fussing about the
weather!

I do go fishing for ice in my fridge when I want a scotch on the
rocks.

In my younger days, I did a lot of ice fishing. It was more a "social"
event than actual fishing though. Now days, I fish for pleasure, and
that doesn't involve any kind of "pain"!
