Took the troop up north for a little Ice Time this past weekend. Got them out on the Ice for about 4 hours on Saturday....wind was brutal....solid 25-30 mph all afternoon. Flags were non-existent but they did manage to jig up a few perch on the rod.

They loved the underwater camera....did 2 holes side by side and they goofed on the fish chasing the jig....
