Ice Fishing Wrap-Up

The past month has been crazy with ice fishing action for all species.  Walleye season wrapped up last night and with some awesome action and BIG fish!  My buddy Dave Bennett cracked a 10 pounder which was the big fish of the season.  I'm putting the ice gear away today to get ready to start shed hunting.

I'll let the photo's do the talking.

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW....

Sunset Country has been hit with an above average amount of snow so far this winter and we got peppered again this past weekend.  Ice fishing has been good, but conditions are tough on the ice right now, with deep snow and slush making travel difficult.  Hopefully we get a little break from the flurries so everything packs up a bit tighter. 

Saturday was blizzard day but we went fishing anyways.  Our crew consisted of Dave Bennett, Scott Dingwall and Matt Basaraba.  I got stuck about 10 times and had to get help from the boys on each occassion.  I also lost steering on my machine (accident) but Dave got me fixed up so I could make it home.  I earned the nickname "sled-head" at the end of the day. 

All for 8 crappies....
