It's amazing how kids have such a tough time getting out of bed at 7:00 in the morning to get ready for school, but on weekends or snow days, getting up at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning to go ice fishing is a cinch! Buddies Brad and Kyle, above, both age 9, had their alarm set for 4:30 a.m., and the two headed out with Dad and his friends to hit the lake, and try their luck at ice fishing. Chattering a mile a minute with excitement, the two packed their backpacks with lunch and snacks to take along. Like any good fisherman, they are a bit reluctant to share their best fishing locations, but the 2008 ice fishing season hasn't been the greatest for them. Still, they're up early and give it their all. As the season progresses, we'll continue to add photos and ice fishing reports and conditions, below. You are welcomed to call the Chamber office at 231.587.5500 at any time for an update. Just ask for Tim or Bradley - they'll let you know where, if anywhere, the fish are biting in Antrim County and the surrounding areas.
