On the way home from the Connecticut River we stopped at Whitney Pond, an ice fishing favorite of ours. Thinking it was a little more protected than the river, we launched on the railroad path. The wind was just as bad. With me on the motor, I couldn’t keep the boat straight. The wind was blowing us everywhere. In the first 10 minutes we were taking some cover from the wind in a small cove when I landed this beauty using a Mepps #5 Aglia Squirrel Tail. It only weighed in at 3.12 but was a nice fish for a bad day. It was my only fish of the day. After battling the wind for another 15 minutes we tossed anchor and fished shiners on the bottom. Andy landed a nice Yellow Perch with a shiner. We lasted maybe another 30 minutes and headed home.
