Sunday I rode my bike to check out the conditions at Twin Brooks. Arrived around 2:30.
The main pond had a large area of solid white ice with the rest being very skim ice. There was a small area of open water.
The larger pond was about 1/4 open while the rest was very skim ice.
The pond by the gazebo was mostly covered with very skim ice.
The last pond on the right had a good amount of open water where Booth Hill Brook feeds in.
I hit all 4 ponds sticking with a Helsinki shad HJ-6 and also throwing a white chatterbait jig. Never had a single hit of follower.
Couldn't fish the funeral home due to very skim ice covering it.
Decided to go to the Pequonnock at the Wonderland of Ice. Hit my 2 usual spots with the HJ-6 and a pearl white 1/8oz inline spinner. Beat the skunk by catching an 8" largemouth on the HJ-6.
Threw the HJ-6 at the lower tidal area at Glenwood Park but niente.
