First trip
« on: Dec 27, 2022, 11:19 AM »
Finally on the ice again! The bite wasn't the best but it was a great day to be fishing. I got to see the next party over catch a 38" pike so that was awesome.

Nice pair of calico bass!
I live in the midwest now but have fond memories of fishing in New England as a kid.

Nice crappie!  I got out yesterday from like 11-330 as well.  We landed about 2 dozen stunted bass a pound or under and landed about another dozen good sized gills on the jig rod.  It was what I was expecting but nice to dust of the gear on a beautiful afternoon.

Sounds like that pond is bass heavy. You need to keep some of them.

Yeah it could definitely benefit from some selective harvest.

Nice way to start the season and I was hoping for a few crappies but settled for a bunch of perch to fry. Nice for all to get on the ice and enjoy before it melts and have to start over again to be safe
