Little fun on the ice
« on: January 25, 2016, 07:37:34 am »
I took my wife out ice fishing Saturday. She has always loved ice fishing, she can take or leave soft water fishing. Mostly leave  :). I strapped some ice cleats on her Arctic Sports so she wouldn't fall, and we were off! If she broke a bone it wouldn't heal. We caught maybe 45 fish and kept 23. We fried them up a few hours after we got home. Sooooo good.

Nice mess of fish.  What is the one you are holding?  Glad you got to spend some time on the ice together.

Nothing like a bit of bonding time on the ice.

Lots of names Clint. We call them crappies or specks up here. Its a white crappie to be official. The other in the photo is a black crappie. Tastes all the same in hot oil.

I do to Ed. We easily fed 3 of us with these fish. 46 filets is a lot! We could have kept a lot more, but back and neck can only take so much fish cleaning.

Not sure the point of the deer blind in the middle of the lake, but that's a nice tub full of crappie n gills! Makes my mouth water thinking about the fryin, and my back hurt thinking bout the cleaning.

That aint no deer blind man! That's an ice shelter. I've been ice fishing consistently since I was about 10. I've had all the frozen toes, fingers, nose and fishing holes I need for a lifetime. Just cut the wind and driving snow out and you can fish anytime, mostly comfortable.
