We are on a roll with the ice fishing as my sons and I have been
jigging multiple ponds in both MA and RI and catching. And, the results have been the same with big numbers of crappie, yellow perch, bass and pickerel. We've also had some real braggin' size fish. All these fish are falling for small gold Kastmasters spiced with a real meal worm or an artificial plastic maggot. The plastic maggots seem to be just as effective as the real meal worms.
With the cold weather forecast to continue we just might have the ice till the end of the month. This weekend we hit multiple places that had anywhere from 8 to 10 inches of ice. So far, I have done more ice fishing in 2025 than the last 5 years combined!
