Yo Freddy, As usual, thanks for the help my friend.
Yo Guys & Gals,I am again in that state of limbo twixt fishing from the boat and cutting holes in the ice. Put the boat and trailer up on blocks, covered and winterized it.Not having much luck shore fishing. A few feeble attempts have left me more prone to raking leaves and winterizing the camp in anticipation of winters onslaught.While I can’t say the Pond was very productive this summer, I did manage several trips to Henderson , Chaumont, Oneida, Cayuga and Clayton fishing holes to keep the freezer full of perch.As my large progeny, neighbors and old fishing buds depend on an occasional bag of perch it has been incumbent of me to travel further from the hearth than usual to keep the larder full.Add to that, the Pond was not too hospital for perch fishing this summer with extremely low water conditions as is the case even now, entering the winter months. I’m curious how this will translate to our fish stock for the coming ice season.I guess I will have to be content restocking the jigs, finding some of the newest and greatest fishing lures, getting the Polaris tuned and ready for the ice and maybe just maybe look at a new two man shanty. Ah well, the cycle renews itself again with a few new wrinkles every year. The joy of seeing old fishing friends and making new ones looms with fresh anticipation.It’s time to put this thread to bed for the winter. Hope you will all join me over on Iceshanty.Boggey
