Ice fishing

I'm definitely no outdoorsman, but a part of me has always wanted to try ice fishing. Something about it just sounds like lots of fun, as long as you're doing it with the right people. (Like fellow Cyclones!)
My dad and I have been going up to Grand Marais, Minnesota ever since I was 10. We go up for opening weekend of Trout season, which this year is on January 15th.
for the last 10 years, we've just gone out with a sled of supplies and a bucket to sit on, and set up in the middle of the lake for 8 hours a day, usually a 3-4 day trip. Last year, it was -45 below with the wind both days we were out there, and because of the wind, we weren't able to stay put on the ice for much longer than a few minutes at a time (we use tip-ups and sit on shore).
This year, we bought an ice hut, and are going for 4 days of fishing.

Thanks - that's Lake Superior in the background. We convinced a guy who was driving by to take a picture... although he was a little reluctant to get out of his car, lol.
I can't even fathom how it could be fun to sit and fish for 8 hours a day for 4 days in -45 degree wind chill...
pretty much straight out from the beach in the middle... maybe a little east of that.
I would like to go fishing and catch a fish stick. That would be convenient. I could easily get a job at Mrs. Paul’s.
You know how those McDonald's ads always say, "Participation may vary"? Well, I wanna open a McDonald's and not participate in anything! People will come in and say, "Hey man, can I get a Big Mac?" "NOPE! We got spaghetti! And blankets."
I used to enjoy Tilapia until a guy told me over lunch this summer (yes, I was eating Tilapia) that their main source of food is other fish's feces.
