Bottom fishing is the act of fishing the bottom of a body of water. A common rig for fishing on the bottom is a weight tied to the end of the line, and a hook about an inch up line from it. Bottom fishing can be both done from boats and from coasts. Bottom fishing can produce many fish, but is most productive at getting sucker fish, bream, catfish, and crappie (in the right conditions). Specialized fishing rods called donkas are also commonly used for bottom fishing.
Ice cream cake is either ice cream in the shape of a cake or ice cream and cake layered together to make a single form. The idea of ice cream cake came from desserts composed of cream and cookies or cake called trifles, which first turned up in the Renaissance. Ice cream cake can be used for birthday cakes.
Victorians made desserts called bombes, which consisted of ice cream and fruit in fancy molds. Sometimes these desserts were lined with cake or biscuits. Ice cream cake recipes dating to the 1870s have also been found.
Today, ice cream cakes are made in many ice cream stores and in many different varieties, including tin roof pie.

Ice Follies also featured novelty acts such as Frick and Frack and Richard Dwyer, who was billed as “Mr. Debonair”.
Ice Follies was featured in a film, The Ice Follies of 1939, MGM’s answer to the popular Sonja Henie films of the time.

Sport fishing is a term (often used interchangeably with game fishing) that describes recreational fishing where the primary reward is the challenge of finding and catching the fish rather than the culinary or financial value of the fish’s flesh. The distinction is not completely rigid - in many cases, sport fishers will also eat their catch. The philosophies and tactics used for sport fishing, however, are usually sufficiently different from “food fishing” to make the distinction clear enough.
Sport fishing methods vary according to the area being fished, the species being targeted, the personal strategies of the angler, and the resources available, ranging from fly fishing, ostensibly invented in Great Britain, to the high-tech methods used to chase Marlin and tuna or the bottom bouncing methods that where perfected on the Fraser river of British Columbia, Canada for chinook and sockeye. In virtually every case, however, the fishing is done with hook, line, rod and reel rather than with nets or other aids.
In the past, sport fishers, even if they did not eat their catch, almost always killed them to bring them to shore to be weighed or for preservation as trophies. Fishers’ desire to avoid criticism from animal welfare groups and to conserve the fishery have resulted in many sport fishers releasing their catch alive, sometimes after fitting them with identifying tags and recording their details so as to aid fisheries research (known as tag and release).
Sport fishing competitions give competitors (individuals if the fishing occurs from land, usually teams where conducted from boats) a specified time and area from which they are to catch fish. Scores are awarded for each fish caught, the points depending on the fish’s weight and species, and then, sometimes, divided by the strength of the fishing line used (so catching fish on thinner, weaker line scores additional points). In tag and release competitions, a flat score per fish, divided by the line strength, is awarded for each species caught.
Handlining is one of the oldest forms of fishing and is still common. The method consists of a single fishing line with a weight and one or more lure-like hooks are attached. The line is jigged or moved up and down in a series of short movements, most often close to the sea floor. The motion attracts the fish, which are normally caught while trying to eat the lure but also as they move close to the jigged lure. The line is then hauled onboard and the fish removed. Handlining are most often used to catch groundfish and squid but also other species are sometimes caught, including pelagic zone species.
