Slow day on my 1 acre pond Saturday with snow front coming and East wind. I did catch my best perch ever at 13 1/2 inches.

Ice is 7 inches on my pond now! Been fishing a lot, but very slow. Missed some hits, probably dinks. I will keep at it. With the snow covering the pond and more snow coming tonight, I turned on my aerator to add oxygen. Just have to stay away from the open water!

Looks like 1 more day to fish this year. I still have 6-7 inches under the snow. I caught my best bass and perch this year and fished more hours than ever. 13 1/2 inch perch and yesterday I caught a 14 1/2 inch largemouth! Been a good year for sure.

That’s great!   Hopefully next winter will yield even more time and bigger fish!

I have been adding PVC brush/ structures to the pond this year. I put in 14 porcupine structures when it was built in 2015. Am adding 14 more underwater ''trees'' and smaller bushes..
