Visit from my brother

This is a bit of a late post. My older brother was in Wisconsin last weekend for some skiing, and was able to spend a night at my place Friday and go ice fishing with me the next morning. I took him to the triangle hoping it would be a sure thing. No such luck, we didn't get a single bite. We did, however, have a lot of fun with my roommate's new camera. There were bluegill everywhere you turned, about a foot off the bottom. It was encouraging to know that the fish were down there, because without the camera, we wouldn't have known if it was a slow day, or if we had picked a bad spot, or if we were fishing at the wrong depth, or if we were just terrible fishermen. Turns out it was just a slow day. You'll have that. Besides the bluegill, we saw a couple largemouth, one perch, and 3 or 4 big muskies swim by. One of the muskies swam so close to the camera that the side of his head took up the entire monitor. That was cool!
