To kick start Year 2015, we did completely new thing in the very beginning of 2015. We went ice fishing!

To be honest, none of us had done this before. But it did not matter. Nothing would stop us from having fun in this winter!  3 rookies went to the Old Port, purchased the fishing license which provided us the permission to fish and started setting up our own fishing equipment.

We rented a  small tent which came with a small heater inside so that we won’t get frozen. But the heathr was so small, we almost got killed by the coldness especially Joy who was apparently the weakest among our gang.  

Technically speaking, the most difficult part of fishing is to hook the bait.  The baits were so slick that no one was willing to attach the bait to the fishing hook!  We screamed, yelled, laughed and finally the only decent adult had to stand out to do it.  Thank Joy, she did it in the very beginning. Luckily she brought a pair of gloves which were really helpful for hooking the bait!  Qiuyu stepped up afterwards and took care of the bait-hooking. We set up fishing rods both inside and outside the tent and we went back and forth between the tent to check if there were some silly fish came to bite. It turned out that we checked too often and too loud, all fish was scarred away.  We waited in the ten, singing, listening to the music, chatting, fooling around———-    All the fish was quiet and did not come near.  I guess they enjoyed the time with us but they cherished their lives more.    By the end of the day, we got nothing. But it was fine, we had such a great time and we planned to come back next winter. Our little friend Jonathan turned out a very friendly and helpful buddy. he was so funny and we had such a good time.

Here is a little video which recorded one of our best moments.

新年伊始,做点啥来纪念新年呢?冰钓!没人干过这个活,但这不妨碍我们在二月的某个周五接上朋友J 同学 杀向老港。老港的 河面上的冰仍然很坚固,感谢今年漫长严酷的寒冬!

在这没有钓鱼证是不可以钓鱼的,但好在只要付钱就能搞到证,拿到证的时候也还蛮激动的。我们拿到手的设备有:鱼竿,桶,鱼饵,还有一个小帐蓬,以保证我们不会冻死。但帐篷里只有一个小暖风扇,也跟快冻死没啥差别了。

我们在帐篷内外都设了鱼竿,来回跑检查。不过我们可能跑的太频繁了,鱼都吓跑了。反正一整天过去了,我们在帐篷里吃饭,聊天,听音乐,唱歌,做了这么多事情,所有的鱼都静静等待,总也不靠过来。

没关系,大家都很开心。最重要的是,秋宇同学和他的小伙伴度过了美好的一天。
