Fishing report January 20 2009

With the cold weather finally settling in my favorite big crappie pond is ready and decided to give it a try today. Of course over the weekend we had about a foot of snow that came down and no wind so that is piled up on top of the ice. Now we have the extra weight on the ice and what this is doing is starting to weigh down the ice and anywhere that the water can come through, there is slush forming under the snow. Good pair of boots that are waterproof are going to be a must otherwise you will be having wet feet fairly quickly. This is going to be the norm for a while as there is a warming trend coming and going to produce more water as the snow settles.
