I ice fished Mausert's Pond in Clarksburg from 10:30 AM to 2 PM.
It was 39 and foggy when I arrived and 57 degrees and mostly sunny when I left.
There was 5 or 6 inches of snow (mushy when I arrived and slushy when I left) over 14 inches of ice on the Pond.
Over the course of the 3.5 hours that I was there, I caught six pickerel (biggest 21") and three perch (biggest 11").
I also had something big slam my jig and snap the line - - although not as big as the one that did the same thing at Cheshire Pond yesterday.
Then I left to run an errandi for an hour before heading to Fish Pond (a/k/a Windsor Lake) in North Adams, which I scouted for about an hour - - and did some half-hearted jigging in the open or partly frozen holes that I could find and chop out.
When I was at Fish Pond, it was full sun - - in fact, I got a bit of a "redneck tan" - - and a bit windier, with temps of about 60 degrees when I arrived and 64 when I left
Unlike Mausert's Pond, Fish Pond only has about 8 inches of ice on it in most spots (a bit more toward the middle), with about 3 inches of standing water on top, and some spots have the dreaded "toilet bowl" effect of swirling scummy water flowing into open holes.
I talked to a few of the guys who were fishing there, and only one mentioned catching anything (one perch and one crappie) there today.
