What a day for ice fishing

That is if you're in the UP. There are still trollers fishing the mouth of the Saginaw River near Bay City. No ice fishing here but a day on the boat was greatly enjoyed. I did get some tanning time in for about an hour then the guide wanted to move again. All I have to show are some tan lines from my glasses and the straps from my bibs. After the move the wind picked up so tanning was out of the question. We did stay warm, however, by just using the windshield on the Lindberg Flash's Crestliner. The wall of bone wind blocker was set up but we never needed to put up the tarp on it. It's a nice design that keeps you still fishing in nasty wind.
You can see from the photo the bones are 1+1/4" pvc and they fit nicely into the rod holders. The tarp is secured inside the boat and weights are attached to the outside by the grommets. You know what they say about fishing, if it's nice out the fish don't bite , if it's nasty they won't stop biting. Thanks Mike for your idea and for your idea you win a free pass to the Ultimate Fishing Show this weekend.
