Black Pond 02/26
Message:
I got on the ice around 1:00 pm. The parking lot at the bottom of the hill next to the boat launch ramp was accessible. It wasn't very cold and there was very little wind. I talked with a couple of guys who were just off the right side of the boat launch ramp and were ice fishing for the first time. They had set a couple of tip-ups and were jigging with the butt end of a spinning rod and reel, and a live shiner. I gave them a perch eye jig and some waxies. Hopefully, they caught something. Although asianfisher (aka Billy) and I had some luck just to the left of the ramp the last time that we were there, I hiked down to the southeast tip of the pond and set five tip-ups. I drilled 10 holes and jigged the other five. Unfortunately, I got no nibbles on my jig and no flags. Around 2:00 pm, I saw the DEP guy, Matt, heading toward me over the ice. He surveyed me for the second time this year. I'm one up on you already, Kira! :o Shortly after Matt took off, I saw another guy heading toward me who was not Billy. When he got close, I saw that it was Billy's father, Bill. He stopped by to say, "Hi!", after picking up a nice All-Star Spinning rod and Pflueger President spinning reel at a flea market for only $40. At about 3:30 pm, I gave up on the southeast end of the pond and moved everything back toward the ramp, just off the east shore where the shoreline bends and a creek trickles into the pond. There's also a steep dropoff close to shore there. I drilled eight holes, but couldn't shake the skunk. Billy finally showed up on ice skates and his dad took off. Billy spent more time skating than jigging, but managed to jig up a small sunny in the 10 minutes that he did. Unfortunately, I ended up with the skunk. We got off the ice just before darkness fell.
