Second Weekend
« on: Dec 10, 2018, 09:22 AM »
Got out for my second weekend of fishing. Hit the hard water the Saturday after thanksgiving but we only managed about a dozen trout less than 12 inches.

Decided to target bass this weekend in the Becket area. Saturday was uneventful but we found a solid 9 inches of ice along with countless tiny pickerel and slime darts. Highlight of the day was using one of the tiny perch and catching a bigger perch on a tip up. Didn’t know they go for bait that big.

Sunday was a shorter adventure w my buddy, girlfriend and our four legged friend Royce. We didn’t get to the pond until about 1 but managed to catch half a dozen largemouth, a smallie at about 1.5lbs, some perch and one slab crappie. The highlight of the day is when my friend hooked into a 4+lber on the jig rod.

He def isn't built for the ice.  Between his jacket, boots and a blanket he can manage but never for a full day.  He has hair and not fur so after about 3-4 hours he is usually shivering

Thanks guys!  It sure feels great to be out so early.  Hopefully some pike waters can lock up soon.  One was questionable this weekend.  Prob could have fished it close to shore but I wasn't in a gambling mood.
