Ice fish, baby!

It was in 60s monday so packed up ice fishing stuff and jumped in river next to house. I hate fishing late ice, to wet and always looking for bad spots. Time to start getting ready for turkey then bear season, and couple weeks of spring spawn runs.

Where is this? I Live in Carbon County, so I went out Sunday near Saratoga. Very, very little open water. Never rigged up. I should have gone up to Casper area, but I love my local waters. Were they on scuds? Stone flies?

I was able to get all the kids out for a day of chasing tipups in 60 degree weather last Saturday. Hopefully there’s enough ice left for another trip this weekend but kinda iffy.

Great fish! I love getting to take my kiddos out. It's great to see others getting their kids involved and such great catches!

We made one last short trip on the ice this afternoon. The ice by shore is bad. I’m done for the season. Good way to end though.

Been thinking about this lately.

Still plenty of ice in northern Minnesota.

It felt good to get outside again. However, my normally obsessive nature towards ice fishing is MIA. Hopefully a few trips under my belt will jumpstart it.

Attended our annual pike spearing get together in NELP. High pressure had the fish in an unwilling to participate mood but had a goid time with friends.
Off to meet a few friends at LBDN this weekend and hopefully spear some big pike!

I drove 2 hours north to get out for the first time Monday. The bite was slow. Didn't catch anything picture worthy.

I got shown up again……….

Not a good pic of this Kokanee, but I’d reeled up to maybe 3’ below the ice in 11’ of water to help my wife get a fish out. Almost lost the rod. I know almost 0 about Kokanee, but I was always told you gotta piss them off to make them bite.
