I saw some people fishing the other day in 16 degree Fahrenheit (-9 Celsius) weather at 4:30AM. They were not ice fishing with a little hut, but standing at the base of a bridge with no shelter or campfire. People are at that bridge fishing regularly when it is cold but that was the coldest temp I have seen so far. Why is it so appealing to them?
We lived in the boonies, my mother is from NYC… she hated it, my dad is from the sticks of PA and loved it. My mother also had an abuse father and older brother, which is how she disciplined her children, more abuse.
