January in the Snow

January 9 -

Carrie, Cam and I left for the cottage in the newly fixed dually. Bob and I just purchased a new Frabill ice shelter and I was eager to use it. We ended up getting up north a bit later than I had wanted but Cam was good none the less the entire way.

Saturday we got up to -10 or so. I bundled up and headed out to finish putting the ice shelter together as Bob was not able to finish it before we left. That turned into a nightmare at -10 as I was trying to work with plastic. I ended up finishing it in the garage with the torpedo heating blowing on me. That worked pretty well. After Cam's nap, we loaded up the truck and headed for the "honey hole" (see previous post). We ended up killing the gills. We went home with 28 keepers and about 45 or so caught in about 2.5 hours. Cam was great playing out on the ice and in the new ice shanty for that time.

The rest of the night consisted of cleaning fish and drinking at the cottage.

Sunday we loaded up and headed home. A good weekend of fishing for sure.
