More Ice Fishing

Ice Fishing in Henderson Harbor
Nate and I recently went up to his Uncle Mark's camp in Northern NY and did some ice fishing with him and his daughter Sara. We love going up there, it's always such a fun time. Yukon loves going up there too cause Mark's dog, Zeke is Yukon's BEST friend and they love running around outside exploring together. We're always so appreciative that we have a nice place to go and stay for a quick weekend getaway. Thanks Mark! Such a cute picture.....

Yukon's so happy to be up at camp.... look at that smile! Mark and his first fish! All the freezing paid off....


I was happy when I got my first fish of the day...a Perch (they are very yummy by the way...nicknamed "poor mans shrimp")



One of our tip-up flags went off and Nate started working on pulling the fish in and he says, "Oh my gosh it's huge" So of course I panic and start getting all excited! I was yelling at everyone to bring "stuff" over to help assist Nate. I guess I must have thought it was the size of a shark? Ha Ha




Sara is running back to Nate with the scooper so that he can get the floating ice out of the water and have a better view of the fish.





All the running around, yelling and excitement paid off! It's a 38 inch Northern Pike...way to go Nate!!






Yukon is totally inspecting the fish out... he's wondering what his Daddy just pulled out of the water! He is so funny.....







Sara with her BIG catch... another perch!








Here are Sara and Zeke trying to warm up in the hut....









I think Yukon is ready for a nap.....










After a full day of ice fishing, everyone was very tired. We all went to bed at 8pm! What a great time we had....
