Got to "Secret Spot" #1... HAHAHA Five vehicles and like 8 fisherpeople..Maybe 10 acres... Famed in Song And Fable and Youtube fish guy videos...  Went down the road a little ways and couldn't get on. Small pond on the way home has changed!!!

Nice fish, how much ice you find?

About 5 inches... Part of the pond didn't look safe. The bigger lakes and ponds near bye were open water.

Good job.  With the weather due later this week you may have taken advantage of your last chance for a while.

Cook the bacon, GOOD BACON, about 2/3 done so it is still very pliable. Wrap the scallops as firmly as you can then toothpick them in place. Bake at 350 (preheated) for about 12minutes. That's it. I have melted cheese on them once in a while... ( I note here, the scallops were day boat bought directly from the fisherman they day they were caught. If you can, get "dry" scallops. Most scallops that get to retail markets have been soaked at least overnight where they gain 10 to >20% water weight. They shrink when cooked and generally suck....  )

Yeah, probably. I won't be back there. No one where I went on the way home. It was nice, quiet and the fish have grown!

It gets hit hard unfortunately

Those crappies are some BRUTES ! I am jealous, they are my favorite fish to catch and eat. Adirondack ice was shot yesterday. They had ice to get on about 10 days ago but any decent place to fish is toast now.

Went back once more. Close to home!!!  Slow bite. Piles of bait on screen!! May go back once more before the big lakes harden up. Thinking whitefish!!! It'll be a while, no matter what ...

Some good eats!!!

Otter in town!!
