[lesterl]

Is the ice in the picture in ny state?

[CNYFrank]

Love that tree. How's the water levels in that lake? Will be there shortly!!!

[CNYFrank]

Good job and great pic of the Marcum in action . . been a long wait but an early ice season is fantastic. Almost ready to go . . . next two weekends are filled with trips down to PA/DE.

BigjohnneyIce, I just got off the phone with Timmy he wants to thank you for the peanut butter tet-r's they are

Todd, I haven't been on here in awhile, so I need to get caught up....I went through a two-week sick thing with a severe sinus infection thing.

Glad to hear Timmy is doing Ok...I just made up some of those peanut butter jigs a couple of nights ago

DC and Tank: Nice catch guys! First ice fever...I got on Braddock's Bay up here for a couple of hours and got into some so-so perch. It was nice to be out!

Bigjohnny, any word on Ice at silver?? Gonna be there over x-mas and wondering if i should take the stuff with me??

---

I can't make any calls on the ice on Silver at this point...they are getting a lot of snow right now. A lot of snow on top of non-safe ice will not do any good. The long term forecast calls for COLD, though. I would at least bring your stuff. I am off that whole week, so I'll be there if things get safe...especially at the south end shallow by Macs

[Thunderman]

BigJohnny,I am glad to see your health is better Thats that you got on the hard water and fired up that Marcum .Hopefully we can hook and do some hard water fishing.I know it will be limited when you can get out hopefully timmy and I can do a road trip out that way.Hows the fishing at cuba have you ever fished it?

[CNYFrank]

MACs ought to be hot with the weeds still high and up. Johnnie seems like the season for whatever is hitting you to last 2 weeks no matter what it is. That cold air will fix you up!!

[Dark Cloud]

Dad, myself and Billy got out this afternoon. Fish were not as suicidal as the other day but they were there to be worked and we caught plenty. Probably hit it in the morning before the storm wrecks our world...

Sorry no picts with a backround. Its a small lake and too many lurkers out there

[Thunderman]

Nice job guys I have been sitting in front of the computer most of the day had to do a recovery on it.That was not fun .How much ice did you have ? too many eyes I know DC what are the chances of that storm not hitting us .

[Dark Cloud]

Thunder - This am was a repeat, 3 of us did about 60-75 fish each in 4 hours. Kept some nicer ones and educated the rest. They we on fire first thing then slowed down, misses alot today as they were not inhaling things. I have been useing just plastic and feather creations field testing some new concoctions of mine. Ice is pushing 4 inches but mostly white ice. We are in the 5-9 inch snow band as of now. Some of the lakes that dont have is yet this wont hurt, others will be a mess...

[Fishingking]

WTG guys nothing like a few slabs to start the season off right. Believe it or not Tank Lake C is looking promising even with this snow coming it may not make out too bad.

[Thunderman]

DC calicos look nice I wished I could of made it out yesterday.I am sure that the heater was needed good job editing the pics

[CNYFrank]

Da*n Tank . . .do you have to smile so much!! LOL Great pics and those pictures of the Marcum in action are great. I used them to explain to Cindy what she can expect to see when she goes ice fishing!! I couldn't tell if she was impressed or not . . .LOL. Tank, thanks for the advice on the travel back north . . .took 8.5 hours but at least I was not in a ditch in PA!!

[Dark Cloud]

Frankie - thats Billy with the smile, Tank was hunkered down in his trap.

We figured it was gonna be a long trip for ya. How were the roads? PA would have been worse for sure...

[BigJohnnyIce]

DC,

That looks like a lot of fun...thanks for sharing the pics. We got a lot of snow here up in Greece, but I hope it doesn't hinder the ice making in the Finger Lakes region as well as Silver Lake.

FK: Let me know if Lake C is good to go...I didn't make it there last year at all (bad snow/ice conditions) but the year before I made it 3 or 4 times. It would be worth the 3 hour drive for me for some of those nice perch.

sounds like a plan let me know when you wantta come gonna try to get out there this weekend. I would also like to try Silver for its gills/perch action sometime

[CNYFrank]

Hey anyone that knows Tank knows he is smiling under cover!!! Took 8.5 hrs coming through NJ to Albany and across . . .but I'm still in one piece. Really appreciate the advice . . .now to get some of that on the ice!!!

[CNYFrank]

Johnnie . . .I have plenty of room for you to stay over so you can fish longer and make it a weekend . . .if Momma will let you.

[CNY Tim]

Jay - That's a great haul bud... I wouldn't even have had to fish day two with a bucket like that. Great job Vassil's!

[Dark Cloud]

Timmy - Dad and I were into fish pretty thick today. Fish were a little picky till an hour before dark, we fished for an hour after sundown. I brought the camera today and played "keep away from the bluegills, catch a crappies". Was neat seeing the action on plastics with the camera...

Wow! - I called and you were in bed at 7!!! I had a nice chat with your wife

[ENYTYLER]

so Is any one going out this weekend and where I hope to make it out both days with any luck as long as the weather holds out .

[CNY Lee]

I'm hoping to get out tomorrow, I have no idea where but I'll be burning some gas I feel.

[CNY Tim]

Todd and I put a little late evening swarray together on the sm. side of morraine for some catch and release panfishing Saturday from 9 a.m. till whenever?. Left messages for CNY Bruce and Tuzzy. So far August West from IS and Fishingking, my daughter Amanda and Todd will be there. Come on out if you don't have plans...

Timmy, good to see you back from the big trip and it sounds like you had a great time out there. Looks like a nice day on the ice coming up for Saturday. I'm going to start icefishing next weekend and once we get some good ice at our favorite lake down there we'll meet up for some fishing. I pulled all the good GPS coordinates off the Lowrance from my summer walleye trolling expeditions that I think will be real good this winter for perch and eyes or at least give me some good starting points to work from.

[Thunderman]

John,I have had good luck with coordinates that I marked with my hand held GPS when on the ice.I usally dont have to venture too far from them some times nada but you don't know unless you try.Good luck be safe out there

PS hows that kitchen coming along?
