Pics From Ice Fishing - Day 2

We got the tip-ups out and then stood around and had a couple beers.






There were some remnants of a fire where we were setup so Paul started building a fire of his own. Eventually everyone joined in with the process until we had a pretty good fire blasting. It gave us something to do while waiting for the tip-ups to pop, and gave us somewhere to stand if we got cold.



We all learned what we were supposed to be doing from Geoff as he was the one who had (by far) the most ice-fishing experience in the group. We dubbed him our guide, even though he had never fished anywhere in this area in his life. We just wanted someone to blame when we didn't catch anything. Luckily we did catch a couple and everyone had a good time. We are going to try and make this a yearly event and next time we might even get enough for one of us to eat a meal.





A storm came blowing in over the lake, but Geoff and Paul had picked our location carefully so we were sheltered from the wind.






Good Times...








Drying out the wood before we can burn it







That fire building was hard work

Yes, I'm positive the ice can support the truck... Well, pretty sure anyway







I smell walleye in the air... they're close, very close








I know you're down there you walleyes








I knew it!
Finally we caught one... now lets get out of here and get a burger.
