my first time mackinaw fishing. All i can say is WOW!! I had a blast. I know these are not very big macks but they were a blast to catch thru the ice.
the hole outing was a blast between 3 of us we landed 12 macks all about the same size. At the end of the trip i got a real lesson in ice fishing NEVER LEAVE YOUR POLE UNATTENDED i had started loading up all my junk and when i turned my back i heard a clatter when i turned back to see my pole it was dissapearing down the hole with a splash[

oh-well the outing was a blast and loosing my pole was worth a good laugh to everyone
