South Shore ice 1/21

[Brendog9]

After some scouting on Friday in Plymouth I wasn’t too hopeful about ice. I checked out a bog pond in Plympton my brother and I use to fish at growing up and found 3-3.5” of black ice with a fine coating of snow on top.

Fishing started off slow, then starting a few pecks jigging and had some marks on the flasher. I wound up catching three bluegill in a row and found out quickly it was loaded. I stopped counting but had to have caught 20+. Also caught one bass jigging.

The highlight of the day was seeing my Jaw Jacker pop after putting a big shiner and the rod was pumping. After a great fight I wound up with a beautiful bass. I’m kicking myself for not getting a picture or having my scale in my pocket (too far away). The bass had to be in the 3-4 pound range. Huge head, long and had beautiful colors.

What were you jigging with?  I was in marshfield on a little mill pond and had fish coming in on the flasher on a shad dart and wondering if they were bluegill, I figure if they were perch I would have got one

A tiny jig head tipped with a piece of a dilly. They'd tap it a few times then finally they'd get hooked.

Too bad we have the warm up coming this week. I thought about calling out of work today to cash in one more time.

I took today off myself. I fished all weekend but I didn't want to risk two absolutely freezing cold windy days being my entire season. Today calls for 35 degrees and almost no wind and I'm going to enjoy every last second of it just in case it's the last time.

I'm working from home today and hoping I get a chance to sneak away for an hour to do some jigging.

I tried to move my schedule around to get down the cape this morning for trout but couldn’t do it, I fear this is it for us
