I hit the Pond with two buddies for a few hours late this AM.
There was about 4 inches of black ice. Most of the time it was cloudy, with temps in the upper 30's, and an intermittent stiff breeze. We left around 2 PM when it started to rain.
All together, we caught 5 pickerel (on the 4 tipups and 8 leftover shiners that I brought) and about 20 perch (on jigs) (with about 8 worth keeping). All in all, a decent if not spectacular day out.
Lunch featured Italian-sausage-patties-with-cheddar "cheese burgers," salad, turkey & pumpkin soup, green apples, sriracha-covered peas and wasabi-covered peanuts and chocolate chip cookies, washed down with chocolate swizzle-nog and coffee.
