Pat and I went up to Spirit Lake fishing today; the fishing \ud83c\udfa3 was subpar but Pat's smile on the first catch of the day was perfect \ud83d\udc4c\ud83c\udffe

This was our first time using the Jason Mitchell ice house and it was very comfortable

We got and I tapped out about 3 hours ago; but this man loves fishing

Day 2: Back on the ice, bright and early. I was actually ready to go before Pat (just thought that should be documented \ud83d\ude0b). Hopefully we'll see more action today than yesterday!

Spirit Lake before Dawn

The sky this morning was beautiful; here's a view from the shack

Pat measured the ice to be 18 inches

But that wasn't enough for this dude. Bummer man.

We ended the trip with 4 perch and a beautiful sunset.

And one unobstructed

I caught the first fish of the day! This lucky perch got to see another day ☺

Another trip in the books ☺
