[bottom-bouncer]

i work for a small excavating company. somehow the boss keeps finding us work. I haveno lfe other than weekends so that is when I get out it works thugh becase my fiance lies to fish and hunt with me. I thought for sure I was going to get laid off at christmas but no such luck still working and it doesnt look good for a lay off. I know some of you in the trades think im crazy for wanting a lay-off but after awhile 50 to 80 hrs a week gets old.I hd dreams ofliving in the fish house tis winter..

[squeeb27]

Residential Construction mainly siding. Mostly only get out on the weekends and maybe one night a week. But the next house that I'm working on is on the lake that if icefish and it will take about a month to do. So I will be able go as much as my wife will let since we have a 15month old and a 2 week old at home.

[slab master]

I am a union bricklayer. it slows down a little bit during the winter months wich gives me time to do a lot of ice fishing.

[Lve2fsh]

United States Postal Service maintenance man 23 years and counting.

Been out the last 2 weekends but have to stay home this one. Closest place to ice fish (for trout)is 200 miles but prefer to go 300 to some better lakes. Always make a 1200 round trip on presidents day for 4 days, hoping to make that one twice this year but the cost of diesel is killing me. The long trip is for big trout and yellow perch.

[WTN4ICE]

I drive for a wholesale liquor distributor on the road M-W every week.Liquor seems to be a recession proof industry as I have had steady work for the past 20 years. Drinkers drink weather they lost the farm or won the lottery.I try to fish Thurs- Sat but with family and grandkids it dosen't always work.

[WyoChris]

In the Army - I only get to ice fish when I come back home for 2 weeks over the holidays

WyoChris, thanks for your service.

I am a video game producer, have been for about 15 years or so. Remember Deer Hunter long ago? That series was my baby I should be a biologist, and was a mosquito research biologist/assistant for about 5 years before gaming took over.

I fish or hunt every weekend, and ideally fish another evening or two during the week, and I do get to duck hunt before work in Oct.
