    Mark Martin & Large Walleye

    My friend, Mark Martin—walleye tournament pro and fishing educator—stopped by my log home in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula one morning a few weeks ago. He was on his way to his Lake Superior cabin located on the state’s Keweenaw Peninsula.

    Snow Flake

    I sit staring out the window at the falling snow, knowing that eventually I will have to go outside and jump on the tractor to plow, and then man the snow shovel. There are a few February activities that put a grin on my chin – plowing and shoveling not being one of them. Great ice fishing is one of my most cherished winter activities.

My pillow in the morning makes me wonder if my wife’s lap dog was getting me back for denial of treats. First ice is here!
