More Ice Fishing

We didn't get out last weekend because we went to the Sportsmen's Show to drool over boats instead. I also drove to Scarborough with Louis to pick up his new dog Shelby who came with us yesterday.

We spent most of Saturday out there, from around 8:00am 'til around 6:00 or 6:30pm. It got a little blizzardy a couple of times but it stayed very mild all day. The minnow bucket never even formed a crust of ice. The wind and blowing snow was a bit much for Shelby though. She spent a good chunk of the day sleeping on the couch or hiding in Louis' jacket.

We caught a couple small Pike and a handful of decent Crappie but didn't keep anything. All in all it was a great day.

The shacks have to come off the river and Walleye season closes on the 15th so we've only got one weekend left. Hopefully we'll get one more trip in. If not, we'll have to wait for Spring. Maybe we'll have to try Crappie fishing this year just to keep busy until Bass and Walleye open back up.

Anyway, here are a few pics.
