Yesterday, we took the grandkids for one last ice fishing trip for this season.  Again, it was an attempt to catch a tagged fish up at Rockport Res.  The weather was wonderful, partly cloudy and even had some sun come out late in the afternoon.  It was a beautiful day to be out in nature.

The fishing was great too, it was the bites and catching that sort of sucked.  Weasel was the only one who caught a fish.  He had two bites, Conner had a couple of bites, Cody had a bite and my Lazy Lipper launched twice during the day, but no hook ups.

Still a great day for us and the kids to be out.

Now it is time to get ready for trapping!  Tomorrow you will find me on my toy, putting around the swamps and laying out some steel!  Only about 6 weeks left of the trapping season.  Bob has about 100 rats already caught and his head start is what he likes.  If all goes well, I should have 100 caught by this time next week.

Rat prices are up like they have been the last couple of years and we should do alright when we sell.

Later!
