Ice Heaven


Author's Note: This piece is a personal narrative/ experience about ice fishing and how much I love it. I wanted to show what it’s like to be ice fishing and why I like it. In this piece I wanted to show good description words and sentence fluency.

As the temperature drops and the ice beings to glass the lake, hundreds of people head out onto the ice looking to strike it rich with big fish. As you look out onto the  ice and the shanties dot the lake. With the smell of a tailgate party in the air nothing beats a day on the ice.

In the sport of ice fishing there isn’t much skill needed at all, but that is some of the fun of it. When we finish drilling the holes and set up the tip ups, we tend to go in by the shacks and enjoy the fun of ice fishing. Such as riding the four wheeler around the lake in search for a good time. We also like to play intense games of tack football, no matter what we're doing we always have fun.

While the tackle football games we play and four wheel rides we take are quite fun, you may wonder why we sit out on the ice for hours upon hours. When the flag goes up and somebody yells tip up,  there is no better thrill.

Ice fishing is more than something to do or waste your time on.  It’s a blast and I will always remember the fun times I’ve had on the ice. I wouldn't trade the memories for anything.
