We went to Huntington Saturday w/ Lightfoot & DeYoungFisherman, and enjoyed a beautiful day on the ice. It got warmer than we'd have liked, and the snow on top got quite slushy. But the blue skies were gorgeous. Not too many on the pond with us. [9 degrees when we arrived, 41 when we left.]
But we sure caught the tigers! And one small cutt. Our finders were fish-filled all morning and right through the afternoon. As fish came through, it was as if one school was active and the next were not. Hot & cold, but one of us always on them. Sizes ran only 13 - 14 inches, but as I said plenty of them. We switched up so often to try different sizes and colors it almost got ridiculous. But once we hit on something it was dynamite for the next hour. Pink, white, and chartreuse all had their moments for us, on a variety of small jigs.
Got some really great footage recorded from DeYoungFisherman's Aqua-Vu! Numbers of fish fighting for your jig, flying up off the bottom to attack ... it was great to bring it home to watch.
