My younger son and I fished Fish Pond from 2 to 4 PM this afternoon.
Mostly sunny, but cold (10 to 15 degrees). About 6 inches of ice.
We set up 7 tip ups, one deadstick, and two jigs.
Action was slow overall.
I had a couple flags on one tip up, but whatever it was barely mouthed the bait, so I switched out the tip up in that hole for a jig, and caught the first fish of the day - - a small perch.
My son had a flag on one of his tip ups, but whatever it was ("long and white" according to him) got away at the hole.
My son then caught a 13" bass and an 11" bull head (which was what he had been targeting on his tip ups further out) on a jig close to shore.
I managed to land one more fish (a small sun fish) on a jig - - and that was it for the day.
I talked to a few of the other guys out on the ice, and their experience seemed about the same as ours.
