This trip was definately ice fishing in style. I caught three that day, my guide caught 5, three inside the shanty and 2 outside on the tipups. It was great fun. They actually have a annual festival on the ice there call Tip Up Town where they have crazy activities like the polar bear dip (yes, they jump into a 12 X 12 hole cut in the ice in swim suits.) They set up a town on the ice and have snowmobile races and family events. They elect a mayor that presides over the activities. The parking lot is on the lake also. It's so weird to see the vehicles lined up on the water. So what else is there to do in northern Michigan in January? I once saw a extended cab pickup that went through and just the back wheels were left above the ice. Guess he was too close to the artisian springs that feed the lake. Hi Kjam.

If I could sit in a heated shanty and wait for a flag to come out of the water, I might not mind ice fishing. I had no idea that his method was even available. How many fish did you catch on the trip? What a wonderful experience for you. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I always thought you had to sit out in the cold on the ice and fish.
