south valley Fishing Report
Epic Day
so our plan was to fish a new pond. we bushed whacked our way through woods. the ice looked sketchy but we wanted to check it anyways. i had the rope ready while my buddy ventured out. while standing in the marshy shoreline. the ice gave way and fell in.
we didnt fish this pond.
we packed up hit a new pond. THANK GOD WE DID! had 15 traps outs. 4 inches of ice. we smoked em.
5 minutes in not even set up the spread yet, i had 2 flags 1 screaming run but it drop the bait.
15 minutes in we had 5 fish. all bass. this area slowed. so we had the spread out even more. across the pond.
my buddy kept his traps in the first area, while my other buddy and i spread out across the pond.
i hooked into A SLOB! i set one way out with the biggest shiner i had. flag went up. SCREAMING!!! i grab the line. fish is in a log. i feel the fish thumping but my line was stuck. after 10 minutes it drops the bait. i was pumped more then sad. cuz that was an awesome fish.
tons more flags. at noon. the bite died down. i was hungry so i went to get lunch and beers. i get a text saying you hooked into a monster. i hurry back, they didnt land the fish, i pick it up, its stuck in the same damn stump! AHHH!!!! i felt the fish, but it was stuck. i broke the line on that. chaffed off! the 30lbs dracon ice line broke!
i had a flag up, i was running to it, my buddy yells over says you got another. he asked if he could get it, he lands a 5lbser. while i lost my fish.
chasing flags all day. 6 dozen shiners. 40 fish caught. all bass and 2 huge perch, no pickerel or crappies. we lost 40 fish to

@bloomagoo. thanks bud.
this is just the start,i got a feeling that this season will be one of my best ever.
last season had its good side, i now got my prioritys straight, i became a better more effiicent fishermen, and i now know what ponds i need to spend more time at and what ponds are just small fish spots. -
That truly is an epic day. You deserved one after the warm season you had. Who knew it took freezing temps to find a bite.
