Ice Fishing Eh?

Headed north for a long weekend. Less snow in Ontario than Pittsburgh!?!?!
Brought along some ice gear hoping to get some time on Sturgeon Lake
Drilled a thousand holes...And sat and waited. Even Andrea tried her luck.
Spent a few hours drilling holes and trying spots in front of the house. So we decided to warm up a little then head to the other side of the lake, where summer weeds, and other ice fishermen indicated our luck might change. After a 3KM walk and drilling a few holes it was time to get serious! After a few minutes, boom! well sorta.
Andrea hooked one, but it got stuck to the bottom of the ice hole... bad bounce. That about ended her day and she headed for the house.
Mr. Warlow was bound and determined to catch a fish on his homemade jigging stick. Eventually a curious Perch took his offerings! Made sure to stretch it out a little for the picture!
The girls said to be home before the sun goes down, and we sure stretched that...
