A day of fun @ Snyders !

Well the 1st icefest at Snyders went off pretty **** well today ! Fishing could have been better, but that's fishing. I don't know if the company could have been better, what a great group of guys. Got to meet a few new people and see some i haven't seen since last summer.
 
Blitz got a keeper crappie only 10 mins into the day , thought that was great sign ... NOT !
Should have got a pic of that, because that was the only one !! DOH !!
 
Guys had extra gear, bait, food and drink, everybody was sharing and playing nice together.
First off i want to thank Jimmy for opening up his house/yard to all of us  ... makes it nice to just walk right off your yard onto the ice. And having the fire pit right there rocks !!!
 
We had soooo much good food and Perch "the chef" does a great job. If i were to spend to much time around you, i'd be the size of a house, LOL !
 
Weather took a real nice turn in the afternoon, lighter wind and lots of sun. Had a lot of laughs and great conversations with all.
 
Enjoy the pics ...

Pretty cool shot, check out that sky !!

We found out tying off the shanties when not in use was important

 
Nice and sunny ... Jeff is that your whip up going off AGAIN ?!??!

 
 
The crew

 

 
 
Me with my one and only today

 
 
My buddy Chris joined us ... wasn't out there 10 mins and landed this on a tip up

 
These were awesome !!!

 
 

 
 
The end !

    Great pics guys and of course, another great time. Can't wait for the summer bash. I don't get a lot of time to fish open water, but I WILL make time in August.

    Thanks to all of you guys for coming out Saturday and being so darn cool...
     
    Special thanks to Brian and Steve for arranging a healthy supply of firewood, it just ain't a party at my house without a few dozen pallets ablaze in the front yard!  Every scrap was gone by the time I cleaned up!
     
    And thanks to Perch of keeping us all full of such great food...  AMAZING, as usual, my friend!
     
    And, of course, thanks to EVERYONE for sharing a lot of laughs and even some sunshine out there!
     
    Comic highlight of the afternoon HAS to be the sight of a two-man shanty being chased across the lake by two guys on skates with hockey sticks.  There was some impressive wrangling going on out there to get 'er back under control! 
     
    Great to see so many old friends and make a few new ones too.  Thanks again for a great time.
     
    Here's a few more shots...

    It was sad to see everyone leave:
     

     
    As the hardwater season winds down, it is exciting to think about the open water season ahead and more fun times with all you great anglers...  August isn't that far away, right?

    Sorry if I was a little banged up as the day wore on...
     
    I thought I was drinking Diet Pepsi all day... 
     
    Suzi reminded me later that it was beer...  Whoops...
     
    Sunday was tough... 
     
    I hope I didn't offend any of the new guys.  Or any old friends either.  You guys are awesome...
