More Burbot action...Warren is loving it!

Here's a shot of Warren helping dad clear slush from one of the holes, to start off. Lots more to follow below from the last couple outings.  Man it sure is fun to have him along on all these trips. :)

Well, since the eels have passed things seem to come in pulses, but there is still a steady run of burbot being pulled up on the set lines, as well as by manaq (Yupi'k word for ice fishing).  One fellow from the village landed 11 jigging through the ice just two nights ago.  We didn't come home with 11 last night, but the lines did get two more.  Another nice pair introduced themselves, and the whole family had another enjoyable outing.  Also, Jason got hold of a 35" er since that last post, so figured it was time for some update pics.  Here's a shot of that beast with Warren checking him out:

So, as I was saying, it has been great to have W along on these outings, and when Abram's dinner bell schedule permits, it is also a blessing to have him and Sarah with us as well.  Last night was another fun trip.  Here are some shots from it:

Warren spends his down time shoveling the Yukon while we are clearing holes :)




But as soon as we get the holes ice and slush free, he is ready to go...
















Posing with the evening's haul....

Good times!! :)
