phil, your quest for a ten pounder isnt an impossible feat for an avid angler, a buddy of mine got a 9 3/4 pounder in a pond in the hartford area! it can be done!  |

try nose hooking a big golden pond shiner or bluegill and throwing it in like you would a lure, slowly retrieve it and let the shiner sit for a second in likely spots! BIG BASS ONLY!  |

Hey, Dan. I'm not yet ready to start fishing with live bait in open water. Not that I have anything against it, but it's just not for me. At least not yet.
I just picked up an eight inch Nils hand auger from Cabela's. I'll definitely be live-lining shiners under the ice this Winter.

| when i saw the first picture you put up of the cove with the submerged trees i knew it would be a great place for bass and probably some pike, i might try that place in the spring when the bass are pre-spawn. |
