 |
|
I went and bought three new tip-ups that were better made than the ones I already have, so I took them and my jigging rod down to a local pond yesterday morning to try them out.
I was only using my three new tip ups and one hole for jigging. I stayed only an hour (I planned it to be a quick trip I work nights and went directly after work). Within the first 10 mins I saw a flag fly and hooked into a nice, chunky 2.6lb largemouth (weighed on my new digital scale). Biggest bass through the ice this year for me so far.
I was on the shore looking for potential lures left behind when I saw another one of my tip ups shake, I turned to head towards it and the flag popped. By the time I got there however my bait had been robbed.
The sun started to really rise and the ice started to settle like crazy and being alone that spooked me good, so I decided an hour was enough.
I plan to get back out there with a few more tip ups and a buddy, but I want to check a topo map of the pond so I know where the streams feed into it, try to avoid weak ice. I have a pic of the largie, but I have to add a few pics to my CTFishtalk album before I can post it, so I'll get to it later.

No, this time I wasn't at Silver, it is a small and I believe unnamed pond a town over from where I live.
The last time I was on Silver the ice was 6" or so in the spot I was at with about an inch of water in places on top. I am unsure about now, though I may be back there sometime over the weekend.
Good luck!

Pdcrack- Thanks for the hook up with the link. None of the other pics I've posted on this site from that same camera came out that way so I was a little surprised. haha
And yea man, it's not THAT big.

Tips on getting smaller pics...
Save the pic to your PC.
Open it, and edit its dimensions. Yours camera is probably deafulting to 1300 X 1600 or something. bring her down to 200X200, then stick her up there. |
