Hey!!!
I want to tell you all about a fun couple of days Bob & I had ice fishing.
We
went up north to Fletchers
Pond in Hillman. We rented
a shanty, I knew you could
do that but never had. I
have my own portable but
did not want to drag it
up north. The cost of the
shanty was $25.00 per day!
They take you out and light
a propane heater for you.
The hole
is cut big enough to bring
big fish through and they
even have fishing reels
attached to the inside of
the shanty to fish with,
then they come back out
to bring you back in.
Man!!! What a way to go. We spent about $30.00 for bait, made a couple of sandwiches and took some snacks and pops to last the day. It was one of the best days that I've had in a long time.
We caught some nice blue gill and lost some BIG pike! We just were not ready for the big ones.
Lot's of action!
Fishing,
bait, and motel for 2 days
was under $200.00, not including
gasoline.
Suggestions:
I brought an auger for tip-ups,
your own ice fishing poles,
a small light of some kind
for inside for tying baits
and DON'T FORGET THE COOLER!!!
Good luck have fun!
In a week or so Bob and I are going to try our luck up in Higgins Lake for smelt...on hook and line!!! When we get back we will tell you all about it.
Tight
lines everybody!
