ICE HOLES

The Lodge

On Location with ICE HOLES Series Creator Steve Marsel

Shot on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire.

This photograph taken on location on the set of National Geographic Channel’s ICE HOLES by Series Creator & Executive Producer Steve Marsel  Saturday, January 18th, 2014 on Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith, New Hampshire.   This was taken during the filming of ICE HOLES Episode 101- “King of the Lake”. This is a big “shout-out” to Peter Muse, “Captain Bob” Myshrall, and James Taylor at the Lodge!  The Lodge is arguably the best looking “Bob-house” on the east coast.   I owe a great debt to these three gentlemen.  They gave me some of the best material I could have ever dreamed for while I was shooting the original “sizzle reel” for ICE HOLES, the called “On Thick ICE”.  It was their willingness to help along with their generosity of support and trust that helped get the project off the ground.  I am very appreciative of their efforts and will always be indebted to them.   ICE HOLES airs Fridays on National Geographic Channel.

Wade & Alex – On Set with the Crew

Shot on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire.

This photograph taken on location on the set of National Geographic Channel’s ICE HOLES by Series Creator & Executive Producer Steve Marsel  Saturday, January 18th, 2014 on Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith, New Hampshire.   This was taken during the filming of ICE HOLES Episode 101- “King of the Lake”. Although Wade Bigelow & Alex Plummer didn’t know each other much before filming of ICE HOLES, they became fast friends. They are both easy-going “free” spirits who know the value of having a good time and make it a priority every day.  Their exuberance for life is apparent and it’s infectious.  It comes across to everyone they come in contact with. Although their roles in the series was to connect with a younger audience, their shenanigans play a huge role in the success of the series.   ICE HOLES airs Fridays on National Geographic Channel.

The Great Rotary Ice Fishing Derby Meredith is one of the biggest winter events in New Hampshire. Presented by the Meredith Rotary Club, this event brings ice fisherman from across the country to Meredith for a weekend of fun, fishing, and seeing what your tolerance for cold and frostbite is.

Todd & Wob – Having a  “Private” conversation

Shot on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire.

This photograph taken on location on the set of National Geographic Channel’s ICE HOLES by Series Creator & Executive Producer Steve Marsel  Saturday, January 11th, 2014 on Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith, New Hampshire.   This was taken during the filming of ICE HOLES Episode 101- “King of the Lake”. Todd Downing & Rick “Wob” Warbin  having a “private” conversation. There is basically no such thing as a “private” conversation while on set.  Everything is fair-game for content to film and record.  There’s a fair amount of truth in that statement!  Working in theses conditions everyday in the freezing cold takes a special kind of person.  There’s no getting way from it.  You are followed everywhere,  Every interaction is potentially part of the story.    It’s not easy on the guys, but there two are patient, and cooperative.  They’re “usually” – very professional!   ICE HOLES airs Fridays on National Geographic Channel.

Wade & Alex – Clowning Around

Shot on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire.

This photograph taken on location on the set of National Geographic Channel’s ICE HOLES by Series Creator & Executive Producer Steve Marsel  Saturday, January 11th, 2014 on Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith, New Hampshire.   This was taken during the filming of ICE HOLES Episode 101- “King of the Lake”. This was the morning after some unusually warm weather for January, here we see Wade Bigelow & Alex Plummer in a light moment.  Catching these guys in a light moment was not a rarity!   They’re both up-beat, and generally always in a “good mood”.  They explain this by telling whomever asks “it’s noon somewhere!”  There’s a fair amount of truth in that statement!  Working in the freezing cold from 8:00am to dark every day takes a special kind of person.  It’s not all grins and giggles.  These guys have heart, they work hard, and they are funny as all get-out!!  ICE HOLES airs Fridays on National Geographic Channel.
