Good Afternoon in eastern CT

[Jigging Nomad]

Tried to get on Coventry Lake this afternoon.  There was ice, but not quite enough to be safe, maybe 2".  

Found another nearby pond and drilled a bunch of holes in 5 to 7' of water.  Had 4" of solid ice.  Air temp was about 25 and it was breezy.  Jigged up 20 bluegill and 1 pumpkinseed in about 3 hours on diamond eye jigs tipped with waxworms.  From 3:15 to 4:15 the bite was great.  Nothing real big, but some beautifully colored gills.    Once people saw me out there, it wasn't long before a hockey game broke out.  

Nice to get out and enjoy the afternoon.
