I did a bunch of fishing this weekend. I was up in the hills on Friday and then further west on Saturday. There was 8-9 inches on the higher elevation pond on Friday and about 7 saturday. Friday was a mix of slime darts and perch, neither with any size. Saturday we did much better and got some good sized pickerel and 4lber and 3.7lb bass. The two biggest we've got so far this year.
4lber
3.7lber
I took Sunday off and then fished Congamond today. There was 5 inches of black ice which was notable less than the places I fished Friday and Saturday but it was good ice and there were a lot of people out fishing and ice skating. We ended up with 3 bass, two in the high 2s, a dink on the jig rod and we each jigged up more than 30 pan fish but they were all relatively small.
I'm glad I did some fishing closer to home since I think I'll be driving further west for the coming weeks. The forecast doesn't look promising.
