You definitely picked a good day to get out.
At least you had some action and avoided the skunk.
Good luck at Black pond, the weather might be just a little colder. |

I was the same way until I started jigging. Now I find myself constantly drilling holes all over the place in search of that hot spot.
So that keeps me plenty busy.
Good luck in the derby at Crystal. Have you ice fished that place much?? It's never been very kind to me ice fishing, a few but that's it. |
