What is the best way to eat tacos? Well, first have a good friend visit you for the weekend. Make sure the friend knows how to ice fish, and make sure he is good at filleting fish. Then make fish tacos, and you are in for a good weekend.
It was so great to get out on Cranberry Pond to do some ice fishing with Dom. We had a fun time, and the fishing was good. Our tip-ups kept us busy, and when it was warm we had good luck jigging. The the cold wind came up, and we understood better the meaning of Jack London's words in "To Build a Fire". We managed to keep ten perch, and threw back twice as many. Even my rustic "Tiki Tip-up" produced a few nice ones.
Locals were out on the ice, fishing, playing hockey, and running their snowmobiles. Not that I thought there was enough ice to snowmobile, but that's why I don't own one of those things.
We also kicked backed and watched some movies, and got to the UR basketball games. Tony and Cait had us over for some late night chatter, and we had brunch with Eric and Julie. It was a great weekend, and especially great to catch up with Dom.
So remember, if you want fish tacos, make sure you invite Dom first.

I got this story straight from Dom himself when he walked into St. Lawrence Chocolates in Potsdam. He had business in Winthrop of all places.
Glad you guys had fun fishing.
