Rewarding weekend

Loaded up my ice fishing gear and essentials for the cold weather 

and headed to Bay Lake, MN for the weekend.

 Arrival at 6:06 pm at the Lonesome Pine bar and grill. 

Was treated to an amazing supper with snails as the appetizers!

 Amanda and her fiance Matt, giving instructions for spearing. 

I had a gorgeous view from my quiet cabin the next morning

 

 Rides to the lake anyone?! Polaris style

 Some screenshots of the other speared Pike!

 So excited for this gal! She got one right before we had to go!

 

 

 

 

This is the view you have looking down about 12-15 ft of water to the bottom of the lake, patiently waiting for the Northerns to swim through so you can stab 'em good!

SUNRISE, begging me to stay. 💚

 More spearing! It was so awesome to get on the ice again, with some great like-minded gals!

Got my first one this year! #slayin

 Supper at the Lonesome Pine was a superb chicken cordon blue, 

steak(grilled to perfection) steamed broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes!

 Made it to Jane and Kent's late Sunday evening to a bed fit for a Queen and 

some amazing soup with fresh & hot popovers with a cinnamon honey butter!

 We went out to Northwoods Pub below the amazing Grand View Lodge. 

 We enjoying looking around outside where they have these neat igloos for people to rent out and socialize in during the winter! Drinks, food and games are included in a 100$ fee for a couple hours.

It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend and the visiting and hospitality was so sweet and precious. They sent me home with a thermos of hot coffee for the long drive home.
