Ice Fishing "Raggie" style!

 There was an ice fishing derby over the weekend on a lake that is near our house.  Decided to go over  & visit with everybody that was fishing--Was a nice day--probably in the high 20's & not much wind!

Lots of people out on the ice--because of all the rain we've had there was no snow on the ice, so walking wasn't easy--of course Alan left his crampons at home in his truck--my boots were fine.....
Lots of tip ups with American flags...
A nice 6 1/2 lb. bass-- it was the eventual winner.
Auger for cutting the holes in the ice--it was about 18" thick!
Sleds are must haves for carrying all the essentials....like food & booze!


Only a few tents and no little houses--this is not like Minnesota!
The winner & his fish...

And what would a tournament be without some interesting prizes........
Rob, the winner & his wreath & Dan, the organizer of the fun afternoon!

The winner & his trophy!  And a few photos of the festivities.......
And  last but not least a 30 pack of camouflage Busch......

It makes me cold just looking at these photos. But it looks like everyone was enjoying the day.

After the cold, snowy, windy days we have had, when the temp is in the 30's it's great to be outside. I'm not big on spending alot of time on the ice, but it's fun to go & visit & then go inside where it's warm!
