Just been ice fishing - cool pics

Well that is an experience that I will never have down here in the south. So cool.
I LOVE fishing. Also.

Ice fishing is in full swing here in MN too!
Luckily we are in the midst of lakes, so we have 2 houses out, within 10-15 miles of home.
I don't go out much - the guys smoke and it's just too much when in a fish house. But, they are catching lots of sunnies and crappies, and hubby does all the cleaning and frying too. They've done tipups for northerns as well , caught a couple nice ones. Our cat is named Tipup...the guys named him. He is mostly white, but a black tail...looks like a tipup flag when he walks around w/ his tail in the air
I've got 2 quarts of sunny and crappie fillets in my fridge now...bet they are on the menu for supper tonight!

hmmm . . .bagful of fish. Like sandwich bag size? But you did say you got your fishing supplies replenished--that's good. There is nothing I like better than finding a tube of maggots hatching out to flies in the back of the fridge! Hope those big bottles of medicine helped your ladies (who knew you had a harem?) get over their colds.

The fish were between 11lb and 1.5lb The 11lb was a Pike.
live bait was minnow not maggot

lol, too cold for me~ I'd have to stick with the ladies brigade!

Wow the fishing house you were in is really nice . Most of the ice fishing I eve done is just on a bucket sitting on the ice . Looks like you had a great trip !

YUM. There is nothing better than fresh Walleye fillets.
