How cold networking is like ice fishing

So my exercise in cold networking got me thinking about another winter pursuit here in Michigan: ice fishing. Although I've never gone ice fishing before, it's easy to see how cold networking is a lot like ice fishing:

1. Get up early in the morning.
2. Know your prey.
3. Be prepared for cold conditions.
4. Have plenty of bait.
5. Scout out your location.
6. Drill with precision.
7. Move to prevent your feet from freezing
8. Chip away at the ice to clear the opening.
9. Keep casting -- eventually you'll get a bite.
10. Reel in every bite, it may just be the big one!
