Not to rain on ND's thread but........
I was on the same lake over the weekend. I was about 8 or so miles from him as the crow flies. ND's house is a little fancier than mine but as long as a person has somewhere to stay warm & spend the weekend.
I forgot mustard and we had to leave early as ketchup just won't cut it.
Catching was slow for us but the bear cub caught his first fish. I set the hook then he reeled it in.

Let me see if I can load some pics.

Yes I'm still wearing my pajama pants. I put them on after drilling the holes in 40" of ice & took them off before I packed up to go home. It's a rough life on the frozen water....


Do not feed the bear!

White Bear sometimes treads on thin ice...
