Glastonbury Ice Fishing
Went icefishing in Glastonbury for Pike, Pickeral, Perch, Pumpkinseed, and Golden Pond Shiners. We went out at six A.M. with a bucket full of fresh bait (including a dozen golden pond shiners, a half dozen small arkansaws shiners, a dozen nightcrawlers, and 100 spikes), some tip ups, four jig rods, some tackle, and our auger. Suprisingly when we got to the marina there was already a lot of open holes so we set some tip ups and jig rods and waited for the bite to start. The skunk was pulled out of the bag when our first flag shot up. I quickly set the hook and brought up a decent sixed yellow perch. I reset the tip up and waited some more. Throughout the rest of the trip we caught more perch, sunfish, pumpkinseed, and johnny roaches. They were hitting on small minnows and jigs tipped with either a minnow or nightcrawlers.
Was a decent day to get out.
Did that last warm spell do much damage to the ice??
It is like a golden pond shiner
Nice trip and welcome to Fish Finders. I give up, what's a johnny roach?
