We got a fun crew together yesterday before the storm rolled through and had the whole lake to ourselves.
Snow cover conditions made it tough to trailer all the way north, so we stayed closer to the ramp and set up camp there. Kapt and Frank had quads to help with the gear.
Kapt's shanty was base camp.
88-year-old young Bill was part of the crew! We all want to be like Bill.
Youngest anglers Tyler and Brandown with Bill.
Frank keeping his tradition of doing breakfast for the crew.
Of course, never a shortage of food and drinks.
Dave with some awesome homemade Italian soupy sausage, venison sausages and pretzels he brough from RI.
Always something cooking up in Kapt's shanty.
Thanks to Kapt. and Hooker for a great smorgasbord of libations! And Bill brought his own homemade wine to share.
Why have one TV, when you can have two?
Why have a small speaker, when you can have a big one?
No big fish on the day, though. Tip ups where very quiet. No pike caught.
Guys putting in time jigging got a mix of fish.
Mike with the first fish of the day jigging. #pikebait
Scotty avoided the skunk with a tip-up perch.
Sorry, I didn't get more pics of fish the guys were getting jigging and on tip-ups.
Nice to get in another day on the ice before this latest dump of snow with a great crew!
Field & Stream reposted the pic of Bill I posted on my ice-fishing Instagram page (@icefishing_nation). Bill, you have to start looking for sponsorhips now.
What a great time as usual, The flashing speaker was the hit as well as the food. Mitch I have a few pictures I'll send for the thread, Till next year... Cheers!!

Well done men! I like the table of Booze and the TV's. And Wild Bill made it out!
I dont think I have ice fished since the last outing I went to when we made fresh pizza! Good old days. 34 days till haddock fishing starts!!
