A Trip to the Dark Side

There is a very interesting story in this month’s issue of NEBRASKAland.  It is a story that Jeff Kurrus wrote.  Let me tell you a little bit about Jeff. . . .

Jeff is a Tennessee boy, hard-core fisherman, but he had a whole new world to experience once he moved to Nebraska.  I had done some “stuff” over the phone with Jeff before he moved here and started working for NEBRASKAland.  Naturally, as soon as he got here, he looked me up.  We talk fishing often.

As you can imagine, Jeff was not much of an ice-angler before he moved north to Nebraska.  Eventually, he decided he had to start exploring this dark obsession that many of us have during the winter.  I consulted with him frequently along his path to the “dark side”.  He is hooked now, and his story about the process is a good one, especially if you too are considering starting down the path to ice fishing addiction.  Read it, learn from it, but I am warning you. . . !
