    Default It begins!

    First open water fish of 2011. Only caught this and a bass about 14" but there was still ice on half the pond. Pond has an aerator and wind was hitting it. Most are a good week off yet.



    It's a start.

    Like a cool drink of water to a man in the desert. Bro, it must have felt great!

    Got out today finally as well. Caught a few gills, all way smaller than your crappie, though. The ice is finally pretty much gone here.
    If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.

    Hopefully we will have ice out by the end of this week.

    Very nice fishing. Now if I could only break away I have got to send some line flying.

    I caught his twin last night at a pond not far from me.
