got out on the local pond yesterday. was cloudy and cold in the am. cleared and warmed up nicely in the afternoon. bite was slow all day. i managed 4 fish. seemed i would get one, then nothing for an hour and a half and then i would get another. i started by getting a nice suprise with a 25 inch channel cat that was fat as hell on the tip up and roach. little later i got a hit that i missed and let the jiggin rap fall right back down there and got the largie to hit it again. little later i got a snake on the tip up. then before the sun went down i jigged up a decent northern on the jiggin rap. i only missed two or three hits in between. did miss one solid doink. lots of follows that would just disappear. i thought the bite would be better once the weather cleared but it stayed slow. here are the pics.
