Mary's Pond - First Skunk Of The Year

And ... the last ! If skunk is defined as no fish. Decided that I had to give it a shot one more time today. However, in spite of the Air Temp in the high 40's ... I assure you the wind made it feel decidedly cooler ... and the water was positively cold ! How cold ? Dunno ... no thermometer, but walked downslope from the parking area to find sheet ice out about 80 feet, and about an inch thick. [trying to post a pic] Angled down the shore to 'open water' ... i.e. where the wind was totally hammering it. Had to be over 20 mph ... still, I prefer windy days, so what the heck ... waded in anyway. I managed it for an hour ... as chunks of sheet ice continually thumped my thighs. Finally called it when the sheets became larger ... first a couple feet across and then one about the width of my dining room. Yeah ... time to go. Actually working the lure was a challenge as it was battered and buffeted by the dinner plate size sheets. I took a 2 min vid, but have no idea how to post it ... So ... no fish = skunk, but I'm giving me points for trying. Hanging up the waders for the year. Well, unless we get another thaw !!?
