| Here's a big pickerel I jigged up through the ice a few weeks ago. It's been the best ice fishing year in over a decade! |
I'm sure many of you are sick of winter at this point and looking forward to spring. But, I just love winter and the snowier and colder the better.
I have really enjoyed this winter. I did a lot of skiing. It's not over yet and I plan to go till April. I've logged in over 50 days on the slopes thusfar and I'm hoping to go at least another 15 days. I've been able to do this with friends, my sons and my two oldest grandkids. I also got to go ice fishing many times this winter, maybe more than the last five winters combined. The last time I went (last week) I was cutting through 12 inches of ice with my brand new electric auger. The ice fishing has been super productive for multiple species of fish. I've only been jigging, but that has been real good. I've also been able to do this with all my sons and even some of the grandkids.
So, while I am also looking forward to spring around the corner and getting back to salt and freshwater open water fishing, I will savor those last few weeks of winter. It has been a winter to remember!
