I hope to see some more good pictures to see what im missing good luck guys and be safe.

[CNY Tim]

Todd - Dude it pains me to even post these pics from tomorrow's outing so for sanity purposes I will not post any, it only makes sense.

Tyler's after school thing got cancelled Frank so we can fish till the cow's come home again, Yeah!!!!

[CNY Tim]

Raining pretty good here... Franky don't forget the waders. Gonna be running plastics hard tomorrow,see you in the morning...

[CNY Lee]

Nice fish...

Just wanted to let everyone know that BB is still on the early morning bite and the sunfish,gills and crappies are HUGE. You have to get there right at first light.

[CNY Tim]

Tank, Frank, Billy and I made the second to the last ice trip of the season and Tank and Billy slammed limit perch and allcaught some super sunfish, gills, smallies, largemouth's and Bruno even caught a whitefish too

Unbelievable action accept for a stretch from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m... That was Billy's last trip of the season and it was good one to put a fork in it...

Tyler sorry about tomorrow but will definitely do it again next season. Tank were going back just so you know, call me later. Talked to Thunderman and he was catching some Oneida Lake slobasaurus's and they were smacking the big stuff. Well here's the guys and the fish...

Soupy getting on and yes Frank is short

Here's a nice 19" smallmouth

Tank witha couple of beauties..

Mixed bag

Tale of the tape...

Billy way to go, catch ya next season

Frankie with another smallie..

Frankie made a mess..

[Thunderman]

Tim now is when I wished I had a camera.I had a great time on the big O I ended up with 14 pig stripers which made a five gallon bucket a little over half full they were SLOBS . didnt mark a ton of fish but every one I did mark I caught or lost on the way up.These fish were slamming it when they came on the LX-5 they were not wasting time they pummeled it.I see you and the boys had a good time those are some nice fish guys WAY TO GO those smallies must have been a blast on the old ice rod .Tommorow will probably be the last of my ice season and im flipping a coin to decide where im going maybe some one can help me out.

Glad he's okay and yes, you gotta know your ice!! Wear a flotation vest, have those picks handy and fish with other folks this time of year for safety sake. There's still lots of solid ice up in the Adirondacks and places like Lake George but you still have to know the ice conditions and be careful in late March!

[Thunderman]

Tim are you guys headed back out this morning?

[CNYFrank]

Yes we are . . .almost ready to go . . . breakfast??

[CNY Tim]

We sure did have a great time catching panfish today. Franky and Todd were in attendance and after we arrived Manning showed up and went deep for the perch along with Bruno. Getting on the ice was great stayed on top easily, but coming off was a different story I punched through about 2-3 times on the way off and Todd did the same and sat down before the final few feet to take a break Should of had the camera out for that one. ENYTyler called while we were at McDonalds and of course Bud and him whacked some nice crappies out east so I'm looking forward to seeing them. Anyhow here's the pics of the nice hooey grandies we caught, enjoy... Pretty decent action and all fish released...

[Thunderman]

Nice pictures Tim those gills had shoulders didnt they It was nice fishing with you and franky today I had a great time . Its all over for the hard water for me I ran into some heavy rain today going home.I had a good time fishing with you guys this season cant wait for some more good times on open and hard water.A couple more weeks Well you know what happens FISH ON keep in touch guys talk to ya later. TODD

[ENYTYLER]

Great job guys!!! Nice pictures, hope every one had a good time this weekend it seems all but over for us.Buddy and i had as good a day as you can get.Walking on was nice and tight not a cloud in the sky no wind at all picture perfect morning.We went out to find the usual suspects but found NOTHING AT ALL,so bud did the usual and drilled about 80 holes everywhere and we started looking, catching a bunch along the way until bud drilled a few more holes and then yeeeehaaaaa,we found 2 trees in thirty foot of water and pulled the last 26 fish OUT OF THE SAME HOLE that we needed to limit out at 50 in less than 30 minutes laughing like crazy.It just doesnt get any better. In between the madness bud pulled a nice wally out to our pleasant suprise right under the tree and the crappies,cool.We couldn't have asked for the season to end any better than today just fantastic.Here are some pictures of our day enjoy.

[CNY Tim]

You betcha Todd!

Tyler and Bud your finish to the season was finest finish in the state for Craps I'm sure.. Holy Smokes 30 min. After that the good Lord can take me with a smile on my face. If Bud ever registers he will be known as slab driller, perfect for him Tyler, don't you think... I see you partook of my favorite refreshment on the ice today You weren't fishing my friend you were catching and on Frankies favorite spoon, go figure...

Well done...

[CNYFrank]

The only thing missing in those pics was a grill with brats!! Good to have Bud and his drilling ability!! So when is he buying a gas auger??

[CNY Tim]

Frank the boys wanted to know if I was buying a new power auger next year so they could confiscate mine while I wasn't looking You should have seen Bud he was at it again Great time had by Thunderman, ENY Tyler, Bud and myself. All fish were CPR'd today to fight another day. Todd was in to the crappies nice over a downed tree and schooled em well. I picked a few but found some nice sunfish as well. We fished two lakes today and the second reminded me alot of the small side of Morraine. Plenty of fish but mostly small except for the bass. Want to thank Bud and Tyler for going at it with us for a final ice excursion of the season and want to say that the lakes we fished today had the best black ice and the best shore ice we have scene, there's something to say about those upper elevation lake. Cold and cough is still kicking my butt but the thought of one last day on the ice before I called it quits was priority 1 and I glad I fished it with good friends. Enjoy the pics there's quite a few mostly featuring Todd he was on fire.. Way to go!

My first crappie of the day..

What you got there Bud?

Nice double Todd

Nice sunnie..

Nice chunk Todd

Got a sweet one here..

Close up..

Bass too...

Pretty..

Here's Tyler...

And the final pic from me of the 2006-2007 ice season was Tyler with the bass.

It wasn't the best of seasons but we finished strong and I met new friends and fished new lakes and I'll do it again next season. You guys be safe and see ya on the open water, stay in touch.

[Thunderman]

I want to thank Tyler,Bud and Tim for escorting me to a beautiful fishing spot and a sweet spot that is .Tyler and Bud it was very nice meeting you guys I hope you guys get a chance to come up to fish with us open water and ice.Its nice meeting new Friends and you guys are great people.Be safe down there and stay on top.TODD

[ICE_ADDICT]

NICE pictures guys!!Looks like everyone enjoyed some excellent last ice action...I did as well,went to Silver lake saturday and sunday and enjoyed some beautiful weather and fast action.Ice was great until leaving sunday at around 2:00 top layer went real fast,and it had only been sunny for about an hour and a half!!I took home 25 nice perch Saturday and 25 more sunday,all fish between 10" and 12".

It's kind of bitter sweet this last ice thing,But I think we're pretty lucky considdering the warm start we had this winter.All the stuff is cleaned up and pretty much stowed away till december....

Now I'm pumped for some springtime Crappie action,Can't wait!!We have some real super hot honey holes in my neck of the woods,(Buffalo area)as well as I spend a lot of time chasing them down on Chautauqua Lake,LOTS of BIG beautiful White crappie in that lake..

Take care all,I know I got a late start here on this site,but look forward to talkin' ice fishin' next year with you guys...

Later.

[CNY Tim]

Better late than never John Nice report on Silver glad you got out and came back in safe. I'll be in touch with our December trip to Minnesota also will be opening the open water forum soon so there's another avenue for you to keep the party going. Big crappies are being hauled in right now some dude from Oriskany caught and 18" crappie and plenty of 14 to 15" slammers it was in the paper. The only thing better would have been catching that slob on an ice rod.

[ICE_ADDICT]

Tim,

What open water is available for them slob slabs that guy is getting,also which paper,maybe I can veiw it on line..

Thanx...

[cnypanfisher]

I agree with you tim, time to start Open Water Fishing Version 3.0, I plan to try some river fishing this week where there are some early perch. It's almost a sure thing, the spot is fished through the ice pretty good, but from what I gather the ice is almost gone, so it's time to try.

Saw a couple fools on Oneida yesterday, 1 of them was bucketass/rocky from IS, he got 30++ nice ones, but i'm just not that brave. The place he caught them is 1/4 mile from where we are going in a 1 or 2 weeks. May have found a 3hp motor instead of the just the 1 trolling motor, so might be able to get 2 boats going without rowing. The 3 horse, has a internal tank, so its easy to handle and don't have to carry a tank of gas.

The prophet says "I see jumbo perch in your future", and I have to agree.

TO Tim

[Dark Cloud]

Almost time to put a fork in this thread. Trout season starts sunday, so we'll have fresh reports and pictures soon.

Had a nice and safe ice season again...

Timmy - just with I could have gotten out with you guys that last time on C when dad, you, frank, and billy hammered em....
