Luis and Brittany Nunez, with daughter Arabella, share a family Valentine’s Day moment on Long Lake on Sunday.
ALPENA On a chilly Valentine’s Day, few anglers were trying their luck on the ice of Northeast Michigan’s largest lakes during the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ annual February free fishing weekend.
Her family had been on Long Lake ice an hour and a half with no fish to show for it, Alpena resident Brittany Nunez said around noon on Sunday.
“Hey, shh, it happens,” said her husband, Luis Nunez, with a wave of a gloved hand outside the family’s red popup fishing shanty.
