What a difference makes in just two days here in New England as we went from a cold 20 degrees on Friday to mid 40’s today and raining now. The ice is holding up very well yet in the areas that we were fishing and the 8 inches of snow that was there Friday is now 2 inches deep. Mush easier walking today and dragging a sled but with the warm temps I was able to down size my equipment and brought the minimum things along. I wanted to fish a new area on the same lake but as I was walking towards that area the slush was taking over and one of my steps was very spongy and made me back up and not go forward any more. So I went back to the flat and worked the drop off again and was very well rewarded with good fish once again. Actually today the bass were very active and caught a number of them along with some sunfish, crappies and big perch again. The fish were mostly caught from 4-7 feet of water with the deeper waters void today as well. Three baits were the choices today with them all catching about the same number of fish, the white LOBY BAITS MOUSI, purple LOBY BAITS BUGGI and of course T.H.E. JIG in the white/chartreuse pattern did very well and the bass really liked T.H.E. JIG today. Basically fished 17 different holes that I would work each hole a couple of minutes and then move onto the next one until one of the holes had some activity in it. Most of the time I could catch a fish out of a hole and then there wasn’t any fish left and the hole would go dead. With the mild temps made for a very relaxing afternoon and was very surprised as there wasn’t anyone else out there until about the time I left a couple came out with their tip-ups. Think it is time to move onto another lake and see what we can find and I am looking forward to exploring a bunch of different bodies of waters this year. The next couple of days are going to be busy with the holiday but towards the end of the week we will be back out there and catching them again as long as the mild temps this week doesn’t do any bad things to our ice...
