Keep in mind that we didn't have a "January thaw" this season, so this could be a proverbial "pull-the-rug-out-from-under-your-feet" trick by mother nature. We could get socked by more snow and cold temps before spring actually arrives!

Its going super fast and will continue too. Especially with tomorrows winds, that's the worst. I can't wait till its all gone. My cape ponds need a break.

Had a banner day today not far from my house. Most of the ponds in my area still have 15" or so of good ice. Easy to get around on too as the snow melted and re froze. Probably another 1-2 weeks left up this way. Good pre spawn bite happening right now.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
