Inland lake ice fishing trip.

We spent a couple of days in the Minocqua WI area. Ice fishing, reading, eating out and of course a little quilting for the ladies.

The fishing was fun..... with some new experiences. My wife caught her first fish through the ice a Northern Pike.

The perch were  biting... but slow and light. The three day trip ended with a nice walleye catch at 10:00 P.M. on Saturday night.  Hey Skip the fish measured > than 17 inches.

The weather wasn't the best on Thursday and Friday but by Saturday night it was miserable.... windy and snow mixed with rain. The wind was from the East all day long.

Wind from the West, fish bite the best.
Wind from the East, fish bite the least.
Wind from the North, do not go forth. 
Wind from the South blows bait in their mouth.

Trip home was not fun. The snow and rain mix made the roads sloppy.

This guy on the left snowbank is not having a good day either.

A dining out tip. If you are in the Minocqua / Woodruff / St. Germain WI area try eating at McGregor's Blink Bonnie for a great steak. Arrive early limited seating.
