GRIZZ

Still got jars, 20/25 years old

Got onto Peters Pond last year Matt, 3 times. Non stop action, all day long. Like you said, only 3" of ice

Congrats

When it comes to fish with teeth.....I never leave home without the Bogas. Well worth the $100 bucks!

It's one of my favorite times of the year for smallies. Jigging smallies through the ice can be hot at first ice. Depending how hard you want to work at it? I've had days of 30-40.....even more back in the day! On the Cape in Massachusetts, freeze up is a blessing if we get it. Choice of lures are these Gold-silver kastmasters are good to. Anybody like to hook up this year drop me a PM

............. ......... ...... Just a few choices

.... good post Masshole Mike

One of my choices Bouncing these off the bottom, on a slow retrieve is deadly during the cold period

2 Custom made Perch Monsterjacks.... $80 apiece! Here's the Bluegill that you can get for $60

HANDS DOWN

All do respect, a 5lb smallie is easier to catch and land then a 5lb largemouth....

Wet, rainy, and you still managed use a camera ;D Nice fish!

The morring was a little wet We manage to land few fish... I landed this nice smallie on a slammer And this largemouth Friend Rich with 4 nice fish Brian with his best 2 fish One of the 2 baits that seem to work

2 Presentations... for smallies Slow swimming the jig is a good choice, at times, deadly. Slow draging, and stopping the jig once in awhile on the bottom is a must. Here are some fly's that I drag on the bottom during the night "Bunny leech" Adding weight to these fly's, like a small splitshot is key at times.

Knew you were kidding when you said you "never caught a smallie"

Very nice

Boy does that place bring back memories... Bow lake back in the 70's had some nice smallies in it at one time. If you every get a chance, take a swim there and check out the smallies with a snorkel mask on.Use to feed the smallies out of my hands with live worms when I was a young lad of 7/8 years old. The place still have all the docks on it??? Because thats were WE USE TOO FIND THEM Good luck

Dan is a very good fisherman, swimbait, no swimbait 8-)

0 for 3 with the sustain 2500 fd, that's a bummer :-[ It is a nice reel 8-)

No Sir... Fall of 07 And if I remember wright? This small Japanese bait was doing the job on the Cape that day. Do you know the Cape? Maybe you know the body of water? They say the place has eights in it
