Title: What song does she sing?
Post by: Dschofield91 on Feb 20, 2018, 06:31 PM
Had the day off and a bucket full of shiners so of course north I went after dropping the fiancé off at work. Returned to one of my usual ponds, same one as yesterday and fished 9am-2:45. Decided on a whim to try a spot I had never tried before. Off to a great start with 3 flag, 3 fish by the time my 5th tilt was in the water. It was pretty foggy when I set up so I didn’t spread out too far. I had the whole pond to myself most of the day except for the bald eagle that stopped by. Action was steady all day usually with two flags at a time. I had 20 flags, landed 12 bass and 4 pickerel. All the pickerel were in the 2lb range but on the shorter side, the bass varied from dink to 4lbs5oz. Most of the bass were over 1.5lbs. I decide to pick up when I did because the ice was getting pretty soft. 5.5” of ice that I poked through with two hits of the chisel. So, what song does the fat lady sing?

Nice job getting out there. I saw the two big birds in one of your pictures fly over me this afternoon. You probably weren't to far away.

She sings "The Lament of the Ice Fisherman". By now, her version is much polished through repetition.

Whatever song she sings, she's bellowing it out at the top of her lungs!

Or she will be if you check the extended forecast for the eastern half of the state.  :o

I will probably be open water fishing by next weekend, unless I head up north again...
