Ice fishing

A spoonplug is a form of fishing lure. It was invented in 1946 by Elwood L. “Buck” Perry, then a physics and math teacher in Hickory, North Carolina. Perry combined science with a logical approach to fishing to create a “total fishing system.” He decided to teach people to fish instead of teaching math or physics. He is credited as being the father of structure fishing and was later inducted into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame.

Buck used a total fishing system of understanding lakes types, water color, weather, tools and controls, and structure and mapping to make the system work.

Quotes

Perry’s motto or most famous quote is “knowledge is key to success”.

Artisan fishing is a term sometimes used to describe small scale commercial or subsistence fishing practises, particularly using traditional techniques such as rod and tackle, arrows and harpoons, throw nets and drag nets, etc. It does not usually cover the concept of fishing for sport, and might be used when talking about the pressures between large scale modern commercial fishing practises and traditional methods, or when aid programs are targeted specifically at fishing at or near subsistence levels.

Artisan fishing is a beneficial practice because it is more dependable, less costly, and less intrusive than most contemporary fishery techniques. Unfortunately, it is subject to difficulties in the export process due to inadequate budgeting on refrigeration and other preservation techniques. However, the most important goal of artisan fishing is domestic consumption, as it’s usually implemented in poor coastal areas where there’s little access to land-based farming and native residents are dependent on the local artisan fisheries’ harvest for their food.

An ice rise is a clearly defined elevation of the otherwise totally flat ice shelf, typically dome-shaped and rising 100 to 200 meters above the surrounding ice shelf. An ice rise forms where the ice shelf touches the rocky seabed because of an elevation that does not reach sea level. Otherwise it would be an island instead of an ice rise, by definition. The appearance of an island within and totally covered by the ice shelf, and an ice rise may the same, and the difference may be established by elaborate measurements only. The ice shelf flows over this obstacle, which is completely covered by ice, with no rock exposed, thereby forming an ice rise. The resulting tension forms crevasses around the ice rise. Although ice rises are typically located within the ice shelf area, they can partially face the open sea.

Ice rises are found only on the ice shelves of Antarctica, mostly on Ronne Ice Shelf. The largest ice rises exceed dimensions of 50 by 200 km, or 10 000 km² in area. Some ice rises are incorrectly called islands, but also a few totally ice-covered islands within an ice shelf are also called ice rises, most notably Berkner Island and Lyddan Island.

Ice rises, grouped by ice shelf, clockwise starting in East Antarctica:

• Brunt Ice Shelf
  • McDonald Ice Rumples

• Shackleton Ice Shelf
  • Green Ice Rises (the northernmost ice rise, at 66°21′S)
  • Harrisson Ice Rises

• Ross Ice Shelf
  • Crary Ice Rise (the southermost ice rise, at 82°56′S)

• Crosson Ice Shelf
  • Davis Ice Rise

• Bach Ice Shelf
  • Burgess Ice Rise
  • Dvořák Ice Rise
  • Ives Ice Rise

• George VI Ice Shelf
  • Martin Ice Rise

• Wilkins Ice Shelf
  • Petrie Ice Rises
  • Schaus Ice Rises
  • Vere Ice Rise

• Wordie Ice Shelf
  • Buffer Ice Rise
  • Coker Ice Rise
  • Linchpin Ice Rise
  • Miller Ice Rise
  • Napier Ice Rise
  • Reynolds Ice Rise
  • Wade Ice Rise

• Müller Ice Shelf
  • Humphreys Ice Rise

• Larsen Ice Shelf
  • Bawden Ice Rise
  • Gipps Ice Rise
  • Tharp Ice Rise

• Ronne Ice Shelf
  • Korff Ice Rise
  • Henry Ice Rise
  • Fowler Ice Rise
  • Skytrain Ice Rise
  • Doake Ice Rumples
  • Dott Ice Rise
  • Fletcher Ice Rise
  • Hemmen Ice Rise
  • Kealey Ice Rise

Henry and Korff Ice Rises are the largest ice rises, with areas of roughly 1 500 to 1 600 km².
