When will the Ice come ? When this happens just switch gears back to early spring conditions and wet a line. 53 degrees outside after a 22 degree night and early morning skim ice. I had waited and targeted the Round Top fishing area's for a nice Brookie at Big Round Top and a skinny Rainbow at the man made Little Round Top and after watching a very healthy otter chowing down decided to take ride up to Wallum Lake for a bigger fresh water fish before first Ice. Wallum Lake is the last lake to freeze in Rhode Island and Rhode Island fishing rules apply. Two trout any size till Feb. 28th then it shuts down till the 2nd Saturday in April for the annual traditonal Trout Season opening day.
Massachusetts is year round fishing for trout but not here.

Water temp was 37 degrees and both States stock this body of drinking water for the hospital. My oldest son Wayne K. Barber took his G-3 bass boat out of the heated garage with the sudden warm day to target some Small Mouth Bass in thirty to thirty five feet of water. Yes vertical jigging for bass and the sure fire drop-shot method.

I concentrated on fishing and long casting from the shoreline with a little bigger PK Lures and different colors. Tremendous results for two straight hours. Rainbows and Browns, some holdovers and some fresh. Most were smashing it on the drop or the first lift.

Pat O'Grady would be proud of the demonstration of his fish catching lures being put to the test in Rhode Island. I attracted a crowd and handed a few to the other fishers who were savvy enough to see a new field trial lure company that really works in there back yard.

Steve Laplante from Auburn Mass. and his partner have been fishing every weekend non-stop and will fish from the shoreline to first Ice.
The third member left at lunch time with his limit and one pole was set with a bell and another had a new style alarm that I witnessed and it worked to perfection, Fresh water or Salt water this will be added to my tackle box for sure.
Pat O'Grady started designing this lures in the early 90's and selling them in 1994 and some of his last year customers have increased this years orders by 30% as a testament to a lure that really catch's fish, not fishermen.
 Nice firepit and were dressed for the elements
