Fishing at Whitemouth Lake

Well I got the entire family packed up on Saturday (Feb. 4th) and we headed out to Whitemouth Lake for a fishing trip and quick visit to our land (outhouse mainly)
  A hydro buddy with his two sons were already out on the ice at another friend's ice shack.  It was about -3c and just a great day to be out on the ice.  They apparently killed a few days ago but we weren't as lucky.  I caught a big jackfish but Naomi caught her first fish "ice fishing fish" ever. 

 Four of the live minnows were not used and are now living in "Friendly's" old aquarium and Emma is so excited to have new fish. She didn't even care that her line didn't catch anything, she said "as long as we had fun, right?" They survived three days now so we'll see how it goes.

I fried up that lone pickerel on Sunday night in the same batter as the Christmas fish fry and suddenly Naomi is asking about how much ice augers cost, and maybe building an ice shack. (!?!?)  my plan worked perfectly :)
