Forced to hit the ice
 

Maaaan, I wasn't ready for this. Checked out a few ponds this morning to find them capped over :(...I was forced to find some some save hard water....Fishing wasn't bad and nothing on the tip-ups, but the jigging was good a few bass and some Jumbo perch...had about 6 over a pound. I guess it fills the spot....Here comes the ice.

I love catching fat winter perch....and no they were all released to grow bigger, I don't eat fish...some of you Cape guys must be drooling...lol

we should see some good ice by MLK day down cape.USUALLY.

Nice perch! We went to ministers in eastham yesterday.... about 4-5 inches of ice.. some small perch and pickerel.. no bass :( Really looking forward to the larger ponds freezing over

I got this perch about a month ago in Brewster.. not a good pic but nice fish... I was excited about it lol

That fish this time of the year would be a slob......That place has a state record perch in it....same place I took my world record from....congrats

I use to fish that pond before I reached my teens.

I wish I was out jigging,,,,, I have been craving perch jigged up through the ice for a while,,,,,

Yellow perch is one of the tastiest fish IMO.
Those are some very nice fish. I got to try ice fishing one of these days.

There are a couple of ponds on the Cape that are ice-fishable. We got out there today for a few hours and got a couple yellow perch... and a half dozen or so pickerel. Might try again tomorrow if we are not digging out of the snow!
