...plenty of ice fishing

So, we have been doing a lot of ice fishing this winter. You probably already know that if you read this blog on a regular basis. It has been great fun and a good way to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Our latest adventure was yesterday afternoon under beautiful weather conditions. We started fishing at noon and didn't quit until 6:00 PM. Our friend Karen joined us and we all had a great time basking in the sun and watching fish through the holes we drilled. We even caught several of them.

We may get out for another ice fishing trip, but the end of the ice fishing season is near. The temps will be warming and the snow will melt. Other activities such as hiking, biking, and camping will take over. The summer frenzy will commence and ice fishing will become a distant memory. That will be alright, because we have done...plenty of ice fishing.
