Title: Martin Meadow Pond 3/2
Post by: Brendog9 on Mar 04, 2024, 09:20 AM
Stayed up in Bethlehem and hit Mart Meadow on Saturday from about 10-3:30 with a group.

We caught six rainbows, five jigging and one on a tip up. Biggest rainbow was 1.14 and then the rest in the .75-one pound range.

I also finally checked off jigging up a smallmouth through the ice, never done that before so I was pumped. Decent sized, 1.54 pounds. We also saw a bald eagle which never gets old.

Conditions were great most of the day, which was good because I left my jacket at the house. Hardly any wind and about a foot of ice. We decided to pack up around 3:30 because of the rain which turned out to be a great call. It started to rain pretty good around 4 as we were leaving.

I think that's a wrap for this season unfortunately. I started putting everything away when I got home, time to get everything ready for freshwater.

No I didn't there were a couple of other groups out there but didn't get a chance to talk to anyone.

Sounds like a successful outing -- what were you using for bait on the tip-up?

Small shiners. They were so lively, great bait.
