		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t go &#34;regular fishing&#34; because there is ice on all the lakes in my area.&#160; The ice in this area is not safe as it is unpredictable on its thickness.&#160; And, I am unable to range far from home, i.e., to travel or vacation is very expensive.&#160; You might say that I am a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the winter months I don&#8217;t fish.&#160; Many people like to get on the ice and I say bravo.&#160; I used to ice fish when I was younger and it was fun.&#160; Me and my friends at that time usually had erected a shed on the ice made from&#160; 2&#215;4&#8217;s&#160; and frame of about 8&#8242; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week and last weekend were up and down as far as bass fishing was concerned.&#160; The weather played a big part.&#160; Some days were calm and the fishing was good and when the wind was up the fishing was very slow.&#160; The barometer was not steady and that played an important part as well.&#160; [...]]]></description>
