Shanties On The Lake

A fish probably goes home and lies about all the bait he stole.

  1. The accommodations! Friends of ours have an ice fishing shack outfitted with a 21inch tv,a game console, a heater, and an underwater camera so they don’t even have to pay attention to the fishing line!

    1. All the comforts of home out in the cold!😁 I had no idea that they used underwater cameras. There were about fifty shanties out on the ice and only two guys were sitting outside fishing in the freezing weather.🙂

      1. Yes, I remember it was big controversy when the underwater cameras became available. There was concern that the cameras would allow people to catch hundreds of fish. What really happened? Not much has changed. I hear people complain that they can sit and watch many fish swim near them but the cameras do not convince the fish to take the bait 🙂

      2. I’m glad to hear that not much has changed when using the new technology. It doesn’t matter when I go fishing if I can see the fish or not, since they almost always steal the bait.🙂

      3. They have the camera’s rigged to the tv. You can see when a fish comes close to the line in a small corner of the screen. It’s something to see 😊

      4. Playing video games while watching the fish on the screen – now I understand how they can stay out there for hours!😁

    1. Thank you!🙂 I was glad I had my iPhone as a backup camera that day. When I saw the eagles at the park I had to change my camera lens and by the time I reached the lake it was too cold to switch lenses. The phone captured the scene better than my camera.🙂

  5. Stunning photo. I did get lost in translation though, and think shanties were old fashioned sea-songs. Duh! :-/ silly me.
