The rain has finally opened the the majority of my pond. There is still a section of ice floating in the middle. I walked out on the dock today and saw a good number of slabs and several decent bass swimming in the shallows. I decided to get some food and see if they would eat. I was really surprised to see how active they were. They ate every piece of food I threw out there. I was amazed at how crystal clear the water was. I may be one of the few that had enough ice this year! Now it's time to fatten those fish up!
