I fished Bridges Pond in Williamstown today from about 10 AM to 2 PM.
It started out sunny/blue skies, but gradually clouded over. Temps were around 20 degrees, and breezy.
There was about 10 inches of skating rink smooth ice.
Around 10:30 AM, I had a flag, but whatever it was seemed rather lacksadaisical, and got away (with my shiner) when I tried to set the hook.
A little before 11 AM, I jigged up my first (of 15) sunfish for the day.
About 11 AM, I was joined by a father and his pre-teen son, but they only stuck around for an hour or so, and then decided to try somewhere else - - for which I suggested Fish Pond in North Adams - - since they weren't getting any flags.
Finally, a little before 2 PM, I had another flag (on the same tip up). The line was running, and I ended up hauling in a 14" bass.
A few minutes later, I caught one last sunfish, and decided to call it quits early.
