Konolds Pond 01/24
Message:
TurtleKiss (aka Kira) and I met up with asianfisher (aka Billy), who took us to fish Konolds Pond, which is, unfortunately, a private, restricted access pond. It was sunny, almost completely windless and in the 20s when we got on the ice. Kira and Billy planned to just use tip-ups and I planned to just jig. Quite frankly, it was a gorgeous day to be on the ice. Although we had planned for an earlier start, Kira and Billy didn't begin setting their tip-ups until about 12:30 pm: [img:2afc31b7bf]http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/7232/konoldspond002cropped.jpg[/img:2afc31b7bf] [img:2afc31b7bf]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/1913/konoldspond012cropped.jpg[/img:2afc31b7bf] [img:2afc31b7bf]http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/2590/konoldspond006cropped.jpg[/img:2afc31b7bf] I drilled a dozen holes and never found a depth of more than three feet. And with about 14 inches of ice cover, there was less than two feet of water under the ice. Billy did manage to find me some water that was seven or eight feet deep, but those holes were more than a quarter mile away from where he and Kira had set their tip-ups. I got totally and completely skunked with the jig. I didn't get a single nibble. But Billy and Kira got about a half dozen largemouth bass on their tip ups, the best of which weighed three pounds, four ounces. Since I was so far away from them for most of the time we were on the ice, I didn't get many fish photos. But I got this one: [img:2afc31b7bf]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9762/konoldspond016corrected.jpg[/img:2afc31b7bf] Konolds Pond is in a gorgeous setting, with the mountain and cliff face behind it. I tried to get Billy to strike a "chillin'" pose in front of it, but he couldn't keep a straight face: [img:2afc31b7bf]http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3617/konoldspond025cropped.jpg[/img:2afc31b7bf] [img:2afc31b7bf]http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/6205/konoldspond029cropped.jpg[/img:2afc31b7bf] My son called and reminded me that I had to be home for my daughter's Winter Band Concert, so I had to take off around 5:00 pm. But it was still so nice out that Kira and Billy decided to stay. Plus, Billy's Uncle Johnny had shown up at about 4:45 pm, anyway, so I left them on the ice as the sun went down: [img:2afc31b7bf]http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/9951/konoldspond033cropped.jpg[/img:2afc31b7bf] It was a fun time, but I either have to start using tip-ups or find me a pond that's better suited to jigging. Hey, Kira, did you find your eight pound bass after I left?
