Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Being careful of wishes

So I was hoping to get the boss out on the ice with me today. To my delight she agreed. That is, until she cleaned my clock catching fish. Lots of BG in the 8 to 10" range. And then a really beefy LMB. Of course, she recalled my sad tale of the LMB that I was unable to get topside a few days before. Humble pie is delicious this time of year.. 😉

So yesterday I went back out. I offered to take The Queen along with me again, but it wasn't quite as nice of weather, so she declined. It took me a bit, but I started to figure out the bass. I confess, a few are pretty short, but I was impressed with their moxie. I took my time playing the last one, and finally got her head turned up the hole before the jig popped out. I hope the ice is building for the northern members of the Pond Boss family. And standing invite to any southern members. If you are going to be in my area, PM me and I'll get you some hard water time.

Bill, I feed Optimal in the warm months, 50/50 mix of bluegill pellets and bass pellets. I only have the feeder set for 2 seconds throw, twice daily. That's about two bags per month. I've worked on improving BG bedding areas to pump up their reproduction a bit.

We have about 6" of ice currently. I started fishing on Dec 31st with 3 to 4 inches good clear ice.

Impressive fish DrLuke!
