We are really into winter now. It hasn't been above freezing for a couple of weeks now. This morning it is 2 outside. It is 51 in Jonesie's Digs but it will get warmer as the fire in the stove warm's up the Digs.
Saturday I tried my hand at ice fishing for the first time this year. I was going to see my mother and wanted to take her some fresh fish. At the lake a few people had been out but stayed close to the shore. Well, someone had to be first to go out further into the lake. So I kept drilling holes as I went out further. Keep in mind that I am very grateful for the gas ice auger. When I got out as far as I dared, I set up the shack and discovered that in fact there was 3 to 4 inches of ice.
Fishing went well as I caught the largest crappies of my life. I caught 6 of them that were 10 to 12 inches. I caught 2 nice bluegills and 2 bass. I had 3 flags on tip ups and caught one small bass.
I then went to see my mother's and we had fresh fish for dinner that evening.
