This past Sunday we finally gathered for an outing on the ice. I've been working on this for a while and I'm sure it helped that Mother Nature promised a day of fine weather. Patrick, Matt and first time nimrod Bird loaded up the family truckster and headed up to Rock Pond for a (late) morning of fishing. There was immediate action while the workers were digging holes and the maimed nimrod seized the opportunity to reap the benefits of his horrid back gash by snatching the triggered tip-ups and landing two bass. The rest of the day proved slow with high-points involving watching Bird chase a wayward bucket lid to the far end of the pond and Patrick making his own pond uncomfortably near Matt's person. After getting off the ice a hot meal awaited us at the homestead. It was a fun day and I'm looking forward to doing it again very soon.
