Jan 7th Johns Pond
air temp 51 water temp an amazing 40-41 me and dave dunked the boat in @ about 9 am wind was lite at the time but we knew that was only tempary by 10-10:30 the wind was blowing a steady 10 mph w/gusts of 20mph. the smart people were useing marker bouys over there honey holes. within 15 minuts of getting started fishing I felt a nice tug and pulled up and set the hook and called to dave to grab the net and brought up a 3.5 smallie. for the next couple of hrs. we baged 6 small pearch then dave hooked up with a nice rainbow troute about 1-1/2 lb. all said we got 6 in the boat it was tough fishing with the wind as soon as we got on top of a group of fish the wind would take us off. fishing in january !! i,ll take it." i dont think the seasons over yet"
beautiful smallie! it's crazy we're still getting out on the water this time of year. Looks like it's all iced up in my neck of the woods, sucks!
