Hey everyone!
I just wanted to let everyone know that this weekend is the CopperDog150. For those of you who aren't familiar the CopperDog150 is a pro and recreational circuit for sled dog mushers. It is a great race in a great area. I definitely would encourage you all to come out and enjoy the fun!

There are also still some volunteer slots open, so if you want to come and hang out, meet great people, and see some really amazing dogs please come out. The weather should be pretty awesome, too.

First Fish of the Season

On Thursday, my girlfriend and her little sister went out to enjoy some of the first ice fishing this year. We traveled to a little lake north of Calumet. There was good ice and we got set up quickly, shortly after four p.m. Her little sister was set up with a perch rig and we went out to set up a few tip-ups. Not long after, her little sister was letting out whoops and hollars and we looked back to see her pole doubled over the hole. She had hooked something and was very excited. I ran back and helped her to pull a 16" pike through the hole. It was a big fish for her and it was great to see her so excited. We caught another similar sized pike on a tip-up just before we left for the evening. It was a great first day.

We returned the next day but were unsuccessful. There must have been some sort of low pressure moving in because there were no bites at all.

Hopefully we can get out again soon. The ice should be firmed up again with the return of this colder weather.

Enjoy and get out fishing.
