Ice fishing dreams.....

Good Evening you all...It is a crisp - 10 here is the North...Well ice fishing here is coming to a close on Saturday...It is now the 3rd Saturday of March ...Used to be the 31st...But we can still fish for perch until the end of the month...But the lunkers as my hubby would say (the pickerel) have to be catch and release...So a photo is going to have to do if a really big one is caught after the 15th...lol..Well Will and Nandor( our good friends from church) went out on Callander Bay yesterday and caught a pike and a few perch..Tonight we had friends over and they caught 5 perch..No big pickerel..The neighbor hut last night caught a 7 lb pickerel...So that's my fishing update for all those who care....lol...Not sure what we are going to do when the ice melts....Maybe our basement will get done....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....Hunting season is a while yet....At least we have a break...lol..I do enjoy all the northern activities as well..And having two little boys who I can see already are going to follow in their fathers footsteps for loving the outdoors ..I do not have a choice but to join them in the fun..I am looking forward to Spring..Well Summer for that matter...Because we are going to be a little muddy around here this Spring as all our grass was dug up last year for the basement and its going to be MUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!..The boys will LOVE it...Not MOM...lol..And we have to get through black fly season as well before its truly summer...But I will take the weather on the + side that is for sure....Well I got my new camera and now just have to learn how to operate it...Will post some pics soon...Well until next time...
