So today I went to Mount Tom with my father and brother. Left bright and early to make the long trip north. Hit the ice about 6:45 and was fishing by 7:00. Got one flag close to the beach right after all the tilts were in and true to my name broke the line off on a nice fish after a couple good runs of the line(12 lb leader). After that it was really really slow.... we got 5 flags on the day and caught 2 pickeral that were just under 8" each. Around 12:00 we had a visit from the Game Warden, they walked all the way across the lake to us, kinda felt bad as the ice was really slippery as the ice started to melt a little. They were nice guys and after a check of our licesnes they were on the way back across the lake. So the sausage and eggs were great and I have had my fill of Mount Tom. By the way there was 7-8" of ice and there is a derby there on Sunday. Hope you have a good time, I am sticking to a local pond Sunday.
