A Little Scout Ice-Fishing....
 

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.

Ice pick races were the trick when it got slow.....

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

We also did up a nice Dutch Oven Apple Crisp for a snack.....but I didn''t get to the camera in time :hee:

Great Weekend in all, we fished, we ate, we played some cards....don't get much better than that.
