On Saturday my wife and I went "ice fishing" with two other couples at a "couples ice fishing retreat." None of us had ever "ice fished" before so we were kinda nervous as it was a large group of experienced "ice fisherpersons" putting on the whole "ice fishing" party. We showed up at the "lake" and there were numerous little "huts" with some "huts" looking much nicer than other "huts" but no one seemed to have "hut-envy" or anything. We had a welcoming person who showed us around. She showed us the coolers where the beer was, the "fishing gear" we could use because we didn't bring our own, she showed us the spot where you could go "warm up" together and finally, she showed us where everyone goes to "clean the fish." In fact, she showed us (and the entire group) what exactly a person could do to "catch more fish!" She didn't have the nicest "hut" but boy, could she really "get the fish jumping into her lap" with her technique!
The six of us began pretty much observing how "experienced fishermen" prepare for a long stretch of "fishing." Some of the other "fishermen" would walk by our hut and even seemed to be sizing us up to see if we had what it takes to join them because as you know, "fishing" is an activity that takes some skills.
After several visits to the "beer cooler" we made our way to the group "fish cleaning" spot to see what was going on. There were about 10 other couples who were just crazily "counting their fish," "gutting the fish," and just everything you could imagine and they were all enjoying it like crazy. My wife is a little more squeamish than I but it sure didn't take long for us to get into it and do our thang with our "fish." It really was a party atmosphere where you wouldn't normally expect one.
I gotta say, I expected to enjoy the whole experience before we went but not as much as I did! Even my squeamish wife had a really good time (except for the one knob who wouldn't stop watching her "scaling technique"). But even that wasn't much trouble. I really hope her and I can go again.
Hey honey? My birthday is coming up in March, whadda ya say?
