Ice Fishin' it's what we do in Min-ne-sooo-ta

Goin' up Nort! Where da ice is tick and the fish jump in da boat....aaah, if dere weren't ice!!!

It has now become a tradition, roughed Minnesota men spending manly time with their boys up Nort, surviving out on the Lake of the Woods. Well, not quite. The boys hang out on the ice in a snug little ice house and and the dads head to shore to Terra fir ma to the snug condo (doublewide).

I know, I know it looks like they left them in the frozen tundra! But the boys wanted it that way, really!

The boys play cards and fish all night, swap stories and make memories. I think that is what the men are doing as well. Both trailer and fish house need to have a methane gas monitors, because if there were an open flame they might blow a hole in the ice!!


Getting ready to head out to the fish houses!

Packed to the gills!


Little Levi in his "nest!"





Yes, this is the frozen tundra, 2.5 miles out on Lake of the Woods in Northern Minnesota.
