Yesterday, after 4 days of 40º plus weather, I went out to the local pond to get a few casts in. I wound up catching four bass and a huge pickeril within an hour. Let the games begin!

Congrats! I'm jealous! But spawn is almost here!!!!

Your ponds aren't iced over? Maybe I should get the jersey license.

Nice work

I live on the boarder of the Jersey Shore & South Jersey, so we get a lot of rain. This winter 75% of the days were 33º & up, generally our lakes & ponds dont ice over, we get some thin ice that forms near the banks, but nothing major. I usually start freshwater fishing between mid February to early March. If the weather holds ill be taking the boat out this weekend, first tourney is March 30th!!

Cool! What did you catch them on?
