A good trip is when me and the others i go with have a good time! Ice fishing with my boy is my escape from day to day life. Call it healing, spiritual, enjoyment, or what ever term suites you. I need time away from the city. I love to be on the ice at sunrise, it is my favorite time of day. A cold, calm, still morning right at day light is beautiful. I some times loose track of that, but fishing with friends and my kids is what makes most trips. Fishing is a cat and mouse game just when you think you have it all figured out, the fish prove to you that you do not know it all. That is another aspect that keeps drawing you back. Large Lake trout can hand you butt to you a lot. They are far the toughest fish to consistently catch. I love to hate them.
