Whent out of Adrians on Friday, got set up about 3 in the afternoon an figured this time of day better go shallow, hit 16 feet an drilled, thought that if I caught anything it would be big. Only fish my son an I caught was 27"cher Man was that a thrill, as much as I icefish thats my personal best through a hole. Pictures an a release. Sat. I proceeded to dig out my sleeper from Twin Island an my son sat an monitered the rattle reels an filled out on walleyes by noon, had some slow time an peeled off the skirting an chiped out the tires an stuff, nick kept fishing for fun an everytime I went outside he caught a fish, when i would come in he'd say " dad get out so I catch a fish " Man did we have a good time. We or I should say he caught 30 plus walleyes from 15 to 19.5 Did dads heart good. He's a slightly autistic with aspergers syndrom an his interest are very narrow but intense an fishing is'nt one of them. The Good Lord really shone on us that day. He did'nt baulk on any of the effort that it takes to go icefishing an was as average as any kid out icefishing.I wont forget that day ever. Sun. brought clouds an snow an we picked up two an went in at eleven to pack up an leave. This weekend we are him an I are taking his buddy upfor onelast sleeper weekend an I hope the fish are on.

We went out (group of 5) on Adrian's road on the 16th and 17th. My buddy and I were in one portable, and three others in another. Friday, we were in about 26 fow and got set up about 1 pm, caught a few fish, couple walleys and sauger. We had heard that there was a pretty good bite in around 14-16 towards the evening so about 6 pm we moved into about 14 fow, between 6 and 9 got one eye at 14.5". Went back out early saturday morning and got to 27 fow and it was good action pretty much all day. We did keep a limit each and I got a fat 11.5" perch. Check out the photo sharing forum for some photos of the fish. We will deffinately be back up there next year, planning to make it an annual trip.

Thanks for sharing your good time and special moments with your son. I also had a special needs child stay with us for a while (we were foster parents), and I recognize that you have to cherish those moments that are special in between the hard times.
