Was heading to my favorite spot 2 houses down and watched my lab Rocky fall in so I turned around and decided to get my chisel....checked the ice on the way to the spot, but it was too sketchy....so I just set right in front of the house....here are some pics
It's a little sloppy out there now!!

Looks like you got the set-up. Watch football and fish. Is there seriously anything better?

Couple of nice fish.  I fished this afternoon infront of the camp.  It was real slow today, I only had 4 flags.  About 4pm I had a good fish on up close in about 3' of water that ran out about 150' of line.  I lost it at the hole, it had the colors of a brown, it was nice one.  Looked over towards your way and didn't see you out, then again with the house right there I'd be sitting inside in the man chair as well.  It definetly still looks open over towards you, it was real slushy over near me, with all the snow and then the water ontop of the ice it made some spots have 6" of slush with the snow.  Still a good 6-8" on my yellow perch honey hole.  Nice fish,  they're still in there just few and far between.

Ah Yes Life is good on the lake lol...Love relaxing out to my parents house.  Nothing like fishing from the living room.  They live on Schoodic Lake.  I am itching to get on that but it hasn't quite skimmed over yet.
