Nice fishing lads.

No offence and im not poo pooing anyone but winter, night fishing and boozing dont mix, its seems you already witnessed this. Hypothermia is a serious and very nasty reality.

i have to agree with marty here. i dont think its safe. especially off of a pier where you would have a long fall and very deep water.
