Wood Duck is open sunrise to sunset all year. Parking for about 1/2 dozen vehicles. 18" minimum on Largemouth; 10 total keepers for 'gills.
Arrived in the afternoon. Guy coming off had no fish. Another stayed in the middle then left after a while. Two more arrived when I was setting up but only stayed in the middle for an hour or so then left.
I set up over 7" of good ice starting on the south end and moved straight across the pond to the north. Marked just a few fish but that was likely me while I learn my way around my electronic fishing buddy.
Picked up one iffy bass in 7FOW (1# mono, tiger jig, crappie nibble) and only one keeper 'gill in 12FOW near the north end (~8" on the same rig). The bite was getting better as the sun set.
Nice to finally get out.
