If you own a Buddy heater, you may know that you can easily cook delicious food such as ham and cheese sandwiches directly on your lil’ buddy right inside of your shelter.
As it turns out, the cooking meat and slowly melting cheese using this method produces a powerful and irresistible aroma that seeps directly into your fishing holes, and down into the surface of the water.
It starts slowly at first, but even if you have not marked a single fish the entire day, the Crappies and even the occasional Walleye will start to appear on your flasher just as your ham is starting to get crisp, with burnt edges, and perfectly melted cheese.
As your toasted sandwich buns with melted butter reach perfection, the fish will begin to arrive in greater numbers as the powerful aroma reaches its strongest state.
The number of fish on your flasher will peak dramatically just as you are assembling your ham sandwich with your hands, while simultaneously and furiously jigging two rods with your knees and elbows in a majestic display of multi-tasking.
At this stage you will get a nibble.
Carelessly throw your piping hot ham and cheese sandwich on the ice, and you will hopefully catch at least one of the fish appearing on your flasher. More than likely, you will not. But the fish were there.
At this point, you may pick up your cold, ice-soaked ham and cheese sandwich and wonder what may have been.
