Ice Castle Weekend in Mayville: Day 2

On Monday Jake, Miika, Jessica and I headed out to Dewittville Bay, or what our good friend Jim would refer to as "Livak's pond".  There was about 10" of fresh snow on the ice so the walking was not near as treacherous as the day before. 


We walked almost a mile out where we set up base camp in about 14 feet of water.  The ice was about 4 inches thinker than it was in Mayville the day before.  The ice was a good 14 inches thick here.

On the ice we caught much bigger perch than in Mayville, but not very many.  About 12 is how many we caught.

It was great to see how you Americans fish in winter. It seems similar as here in Finland although we don't have a warm tent. :)

It's nice to see how you fish in the winter. Looks like in Finland although we don't use warm tents :)
