Ice Fishing
Been a while since I've been on the blog. I was busy with the fall striper run in CT and never got any panfish to hit locally before ice started to finally form.
Have been out on the ice 4 times since it became reliable in CT.
Jigged up a number of calicoes with a chrome blue Rapala Jigging Rap W-2 rigged with no extra bait while at Dog Pond.
Have been to a quarry in Wilton twice recently and jigged up a number of 8" bulls and a few yellows all with a pearl white Rapala Jigging Shad Rap WSR-3 with no extra bait. Biggest yellow was a chubby 10" pregnant female.
Never got into any fall bite at the private lake because they lowered the water level just before Sandy.

At least you got out on the ice a few times, and with success. Good job!
