I had a few hours this afternoon, and mommy was under the weather, so daddy got to take his "little fisher(wo)man" on an outing. We went up to Scofield . I found a sledding hill nearby for additional entertainment. These trips are great fun for both daddy and daughter but serious fishing is markedly reduced. Nevertheless, Scofield still cooperated for us. The bite was steady on mealworms, and they cleaned me out of a container. I didn't count but we caught lots of the smaller planters and some bigger ones in about 2 1/2 hours of part fishing, part sledding, part play. Kept a 15 and a 16er for dinner and released a couple close to them in size, including a nice cutt. Ice was 12 inches, water 15 feet. I was informed at 4:00 it was "time to go home to mommy" so we left. Good luck to all this weekend, and merry Christmas to all also.

] Seriously though, I hope to have days like that with her when she's about 3 or 4. Do you have an ice shack, or was she a good little trooper out on the open ice??
