My First Ice Fishing Attempt.

Scince the end of deer season I have had nothing outdoorsy to do. So I decided last weekend to take up ice fishing. I went on down to bass pro, bought an auger and some lures, drilled a hole in my favorite lake, and got crackin. I caught some perch and a nice bass to top it all off.
