We went out yesterday - was pretty cold. One of the guys (friend of a friend) showed up w/his quad as we a mile walk on the ice to the spot we were going to fish. The quad made things much easier.
I had a 25" Pike. Was bringing it out of the hole and the line broke. He was kicking on the surface and I reached in and grabbed him. Somehow was able to hold on. Got him out and a friend took 2 pictures then the Pike shook and he slipped out of my hands right into the hole. It looked like he dove right into the hole. We all thought that was the funniest thing. Easy come, easy go.
The guys brought Moose jerky, venison chops and venison sausage.
If anyone brings their kids, some of us will bring skates and skate with them if the ice isn't too bad (couldn't have skated with them yesterday). Kids love ice fishing but if it is slow and there is nothing else to do, they can get bored easy.
Ice was 14" but this warm spell will shut things down on a lot of ponds in Ct.
