Freeze up already!

I am frustrated to see people out there fishing with their boats, they have a huge advantage in fishing, as for my friend and I as broke teens fish off the banks. My friend and I fished for an average of three days a week for the whole summer. We started to figure out fishing patterns and where their next favorable drop offs are. I just can't wait until winter; because I’ll be able to fish in places where other people will be able to with their boats. I'll be walking on ice, pick pocketing all of the giant fish we've been desired to catch. Lake Palo, Iowa, has been known to have some of the largest muskies of Iowa, with several potentional state records, and my friend and I are planning to obsessively go ice-fishing there. We're down with vexlars, aqua-vu, frabil tents, spring bobbers, propane cans, and so forth. We will be able to get geared up to catch these monsters. The lake itself would seem like a spot where only panfish would live, because of the murky waters and several largemouths, like a farm pond. However, it has bunch of striped bass in there, and they behave as "big minnows" for these monster muskies to feed on. So they grow to a certain size and are almost unheard of, because they have so many places to roam in this giant man-made lake. There are hidden structures out there, and I can hint to you Iowans that there is a bridge underwater in that lake, there is a giant drop-off, so the bridge is settled lateral to the ground. Cornering up fish there would be great, like a quarry structure, the fish will be lined up by the wall, until they see a minnow submerging along the bridge, any fish of any size bigger than the minnow is defiantly likely to inhale it. Back to the musky, there is a giant one out there, I don't know specifically where, but I can tell you that the D.N.R stunned them to put these Palo fish on charts and study the statistics of these fish growths, population, and set rules on possession limits, size limit, e.g. The D.N.R apparently stunned a muskie that was well over 56 inches. (Bigger than some flat screen TVs!) I have, however, heard of a story, more like folklore to me, but it took place in Itasca County, Minnesota. It started out with a stormy weather, as the storm passed over, a boat plane soared over the lake, and something that appeared to be a crocodile caught his eye as it sways by the channel, and they flew closer to it and realized that it was a muskie! Apparently this muskie was literally the size of a pondtune floater, which meant this fish was way off charts, measuring up to ten feet, if not more. So that fish there would be considered an off the charts species, almost impossible to imagine. Of course, they never caught the stunned fish, but hundreds of people gathered up to try to find it on the shore assuming that the fish was dead, but was never seen as it submerged back into the waters. Afterwards, resorts sprung up on the lakeside view of this lake, and people pass on the story that has been carried on until this very day, which is 40 years since it happened.
