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.



He we are drilling up a few holes....let each kid take a shot w/ the power auger.





Cooking up some Sloppy Joes for lunch.





One of the Kids taking a break and waiting for flags



Showing one of the kids how to do a little jigging.



Success.......



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....





got to see a helicopter land on the ice....

After we cleared out we went back to the Homestead....



Got some grub going.....if anything we don't ever starve.





Dutch Oven Lasagna anybody.......





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

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

Frigid weather be damned! Looks like a good time with the boys Kev. I like the ice pick races.

Thumbs up

Looks like you guys had a great time. I really enjoyed Scouting when I was a kid, I'd encourage any parent to get their sons involved.
