Sadly stuck between seasons down here in SOVT. Had a fair year ice fishing but it was somewhat disappointing. Some cold and windy days kept me home a few weekends and other obligations got in the way of making any trips. Good fishing lately came to an abrupt halt this weekend after the latest round of lousy weather. Still some ice, none real good, and lots of sketchy spots here and most everywhere from reports I have heard. Time to transition to spring. I wonāt be in a big hurry because I believe it will be sometime before everything comes together. Looking forward to fishing with my wife again this year. She is really excited about it! Hereās some moments from this winter. Not the biggest but considering 4# test and 24ā rod in the hands of a novice icefisherman, not too bad. Hereās a hefty pike, 40.5ā, released šš Some very nice crappie made for some good eating. The biggest were released. Introduced a great young kid to the Master Angler program. Will be fishing with him this spring to get a pin. He has two more species to go after getting three qualifying species in one dayš± Hereās current ice conditions in Hinsdale NH. Better yet hereās current open water conditions!š

Sounds like a decent season. Things were looking good down here. Even had most of the lawn raking done. Then we got 15" of freaking heavy snow. Lost half of it yesterday to melting but also had some large branches come down in the wind. So got more to do now.

Short season for us, a few diehards still out there, not a good idea. Nice pics! Hopefully the mud will dry up quickly with the head start it got in February. And I can get the boat out earlier rather than later.

I think today was it for the last of the ice fisherman. I saw guys out on Hunts last weekend too right where the ice was rotten in February. My last day out there I said no way Iād go back but it did refreeze pretty good but I never trust late ice. Been a long layoff but itās almost over. May shore fish this weekend. Your favorite spring spot is looking good!š
