Ice Fishing Is ON

Today Z and I decided we couldn't wait any longer, it was a good ice fishing day so off to Red Lake we went. Ben at Ben's bait said he had a group the day before that had great luck on pike and eyes. When we got to Red we looked out and saw alot of open water, DAMN....we forgot the boat again. I hate when that HAPPENS!! We saw some other fishermen out on the ice so away we went. When we drilled our first holes we were in 4 feet of water and we didn't dare to try to get deeper because the open water was only 50 feet away. We then walked around the group hoping the water was deeper up the shore line....it was by maybe a foot.

We set up and started watching the group we walked around catch big pike after big pike. We talked to them and found out the party was set up by Bear Paw Guide Service and what a nice bunch of fishermen and guides. We are definately going to contact them this winter because they fish everyday and say they're on fish every day. Today they were and we watched and had fun doing so. Check out Bear paw Guide service at www.bearpawguides.com I know I'm going to. I'm also going to link to their service on my blog, it makes it easier for me to keep in touch with them too.

I hope you enjoy the pictures from today. Look back soon the season is just starting and real ice should be here soon. HEHE!!
