Ice fishing, Ice Cream Jones

August 22, 2008 2:44 pm

Ice Cream Jones was a cartoon character and spokesperson for the Ice Cream Cones breakfast cereal, made by General Mills.

In television commercials he would declare (in song), “My name’s Ice Cream Jones / and I’m going to deliver my ice cream cones. / A crispy crunchy cereal for breakfast / with the great taste .. of ice cream cones!

The cereal was discontinued in 1987 along with Mr. Jones. The Cereal re-appeared in the early 00’s for a limited time.

Ice fishing, Icemaker

August 22, 2008 7:06 am

An icemaker is a device often found inside a freezer that is used to make ice. Ice machine usually refers to a standalone appliance that it built for making large quantities of ice. Commercial ice cube makers improve the quality of ice by using moving water. Basically the faster the water moves the better the ice quality. Air and undissolved solids will be washed away to such an extent that in horizontal evaporator machines the water has 98% of the solids removed resulting in very hard virtually pure ice. In vertical evaporators the ice is softer, more so if there are actual individual cube cells.

Ice fishing, Artisan fishing

August 22, 2008 6:43 am

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.
