February picked up where January left off, with tons of ice action from every corner of New England. What has really impressed me, is the variety of species that have been landed; pike, pickerel, largemouth and smallmouth bass, yellow perch, white perch, walleye, musky, crappie, sunfish, many species of trout and more! March can go either way as far as ice fishing goes, but any ice time we get past the end of February will just be gravy.
