Ice Fishing 2019
Day 2
Mirror Lake, Thornton,NH
Around 20F
Getting set up and ready
First Fish perch
A little colder today, heavier coats for some
A bald eagle was circling and even grabbed a snack from the middle of the lake. Someone had left a good sized perch maybe the day before or earlier that morning laying on the ice. Free lunch for the eagle.
Learning
Fishing in a hole
Using the sonar which has a series of flashing bars on it that we are learning to read. It can tell you depth, what the bottom is like, where your lure is and if there is anything sniffing the bait.
The three main reasons people ice fish.
1. Being outdoors-check
2. Being with friends-check
3. Catching fish to eat-not so much today
still hoping but no luck all day
Only one of these guys pulled anything up all day. It was rough out there.
Resting after all that not catching might help
Even the traps didn't go off
When the fish aren't biting we build snow forts!!
Exhausted by all that sitting around looking in a hole. Dreaming about tomorrow and all the fish they will catch.
