2013 Early Ice. Chequamegon Bay.



New ice fishing shelter. 


Early ice fishing. Some are driving vehicles. I prefer a little more ice. For now this is my way on and off ice. If the cold weather holds out we should be driving by next week. It is shaping up to be a great season. For now the bay has 9 to 12" of ice with little or no snow cover.



Setup and fishing.




This was a great early ice fishing day.  It has been a couple of years since the "brothers-in-laws" have been ice fishing together. Hopefully we will get to do this more often. 




Ice fishing isn't only about catching fish. It's about enjoying the day and the company. Having fun is always in the cards.

It doesn't get much better than this. A great way to end a day out on Chequamegon Bay. And yes we did catch some fish.
