    Tonight was what my dreams are all about. Alex and I hit the ice around 3pm this afternoon and had fish going as soon the the first jig made it down the hole, only 1/2 way down to be honest…… Crappies and lots of them. Alex drove us out to our spot, we drilled two holes, put up the shack and caught fish hand over fist until dark. It was a great evening with nice gills and big crappies. The bite was just starting to kick into high gear, it was just prior to dark and Alex tells me “Dad….I have to poop A few minutes later, and one cold little boy, we were back in the shack putting the hammer down on the fish. I have been trying to teach Alex how to use the flasher and the spring bobber. He did a little better tonight all on his own, its funny watching! The bite did slow down big time after dark and Alex really wanted to drive again, to be honest, I think that is the best part of these trips for him, either way, we had a great time together this afternoon on the ice. This is what life is all about
