Well I'm going to say that winter has wound down and spring is upon us. Last ice usually means for good fishing and this year was no different. My kids and some friends of ours fished Halls Lake for what I'm sure will be the last time this year, at least on the hard water. The bluegill bite was steady all afternoon, however we had to do quite a bit of sorting to separate the nice one's from small one's. My daughter caught the biggest of the day which made for a nice ending to s good ice fishing season.
This past weekend, with temps breaking 60 degrees, we truly made the most of last ice. The north end of Coldwater Lake is all open while the south end still has ice on it. As we sat in our lawn chairs in shorts watching tip-ups, the neighbors to the north were cruising around in their pontoon. Pure Michigan....

That's just crazy that while you guys were on the ice, your northern neighbors were riding in their pontoons. They always say; if you don't like the weather in Michigan, wait ten minutes. Haha.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! That's the best kind of ice fishing. Congrats to your daughter for the biggest catch of the day! Blue gills are the best!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great way to end the ice season and enjoy the warm temperatures preparing for summer.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about spring is the warmer temperatures while still enjoying the ice and snow. I personally enjoyed skiing in 40 degree weather recently. Congrats on the haul this winter it was a blast following your blog!
ReplyDeleteYour Daughter looks very proud of her catch. That is an awesome picture on the bottom is truly pure Michigan for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is really amazing that you were willing to go on the ice despite the temperature, ive always loved the snow and ice in warm weather.

ReplyDeleteLike the post Mark, looks like quite the time. Ice fishing would be more of a passion of mine, if you could do it in the summer lol No I like to get out there, growing up my parents weren't that into it which is probably why I'm not more of a ice fisherman. I have enjoyed doing it with friends though and probably will continue to do so. And ill tell you what, there's a lot worse ways to spend your Saturday.
