Made it out fishing last week, here is a pic of the view.  A little different than you guys down south.

Nice.  Too bad you have to deal with all those Jet Skis. 

Oh yeah.  How 'bout some pics of the fish?

Started getting hits, but my 5 year old got cold (wind picked up) and he was mad at me for not bringing the shelter, so we had to leave early. Last time I don't bring the shelter with the boys.

Last year I took the shelter every time we went.  95% of the time it stayed in the pickup.  Those shelters are sure nice when the wind picks up (as long as they are anchored).

What's that "wavy" appearance on the ice about?  How thick was the ice?  It does look like the landscape of some distant planet.

I received an ice shelter for an early Christmas present.  I'm sure I'll use it when is really windly and cold but I move around a lot with my flasher unit (to find the active fish) so unless I find a spot that produces well, I don't know how much I'll remain in the shelter.

I don't know what kind of temps you've been having,  but up here there isn't too many times in a winter when you're not in a permanent shack or portable.  Middle of the day tip-up fishing I guess.

Wind chills have been below zero pretty steady lately and we just got over 2 feet of snow in less than a week.

The wavy appearance is from snow drifts that melted down and refroze.  We had quite a bit of snow, then it warmed up and rained for over a week.  We in this pic there was 6 inches, when i went on Thursday, there was 4-5 inches.  But it has gotten cold again, things are freezing up good, some snow this this morning.
