A couple of weeks ago when the first nice days hit, I decided to go ice fishing. It was great… even though I locked my keys and phone in the car, walked about six miles when I thought it was maybe half a mile. Things look much different on a lake. It was a nice walk, it was like being stranded in a white desert. It was a bit surreal. When I got back to the car I fished for a while and started on my tan for the summer while catching some tiny Perch. The day was not ruined by long walks or tiny fish.

    I got to give the electric ice auger my grandpa made out of an old car starter and washing machine parts. He was probably the first person to ever make one! Not sure about this one but he made one just like this about 20 years ago! Now I can drive my car out and sit on the ice, listen to music and catch some fish… well… little fish. Pictures below!
