ice fishing in nc??
« on: Dec 10, 2006, 01:31 PM »
whoohoo!! as i was headed for shearon harris saturday morning i noticed the ponds were all covered in ice. the water at harris was liquid we caught 4 bass one about 3 pounds..

on the return home i noticed that some guy had drilled a hole in the middle of a 4 acre pond and was snatching crappie out of the hole hand over fist..we just had to stop and ask how the fishing was ;D-being both of us are wise a$$es-my partner declined to wander out on the ice -redneck- i walk out very gentilly.  there was 3" of the hard stuff the guy was jigging with a crappie jig. as i walked off i kept wondering if my partner in crime had a crappie rod in his boat..

been awhile since my fat butt was out on the stiff h2o. man i got da itch now. :( problem is it got up to 70 today it was 16 saturday morning..

I also live in Wake County NC and I only saw a tiny pond yesterday, more like a puddle, skimmed over. I find it hard to believe that any body of water formed 3 inches of ice over night here, let alone be able to walk on it, but maybe it did. Where was this pond?  Never the less it was darn cold this weekend, nice wasn't it??  ;D
