no only the reservoirs east of the hudson are open for ice fishing

Swinging Bridge and Toronto Reservoirs could both be ice fished AFAIK and aren't East of Hudson River.

bowski76 · « **Reply #8521 on:** Mar 04, 2016, 12:31 PM »

He's referring to the NYC reservoirs. Ice fishing permitted in MOST of the reservoirs east of the Hudson.

There were people on Lake Superior up until Sunday on crap ice, I thought they were crazy, as of Wednesday, it was 95% open with whitecaps. Same goes for most of the other lakes, bring your boats if you wan to fish in Sullivan county. Most everywhere the water is high and murky.

Quote from: Senka on Mar 03, 2016, 08:56 PM

Is there any safe ice in Sullivan County?

anyone fish past few days?

greensider · « **Reply #8523 on:** Mar 04, 2016, 06:38 PM »

yes i was reffering to the nyc reservoirs since that is what the question was about

Got 2-3 inches of snow overnight ...winds are howling and the power went out .....1-3 inches of snow predicted for tonight ....Ol' Man Winter isn't giving up without a fight/last call .

Same here. Its a cruel joke, we were just getting used to the warmer spring temps.

mr.clean · « **Reply #8526 on:** Apr 03, 2016, 05:12 PM »

Greetings Hardwater diehard and KB , received 1 inch or lees here in New Windsor most of the snow has already melted still windy. My weather forecast also calling for snow later tonight. I've see April snows before but do not remember such a big temperature change high near 80 on Friday and now not supposed to get above 40 until Tuesday.
I hope everyone makes it through this weather alright with no or minor storm damage to trees and buildings.

I decided to frost seed my food plot this year about 2 weeks ago as a experiment as it had some bear spots.... hope it didn't start to sprout lol

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #8529 on:** Apr 04, 2016, 08:25 AM »

As predicted 2-3 inches of the fluffy stuff fell over night ...the ground could use the moisture for sure to help alleviate the threat of fires ...last spring was a real bad fire season .

Now we get some snow ...We didn't get any all year... To bad the ice didn't stay this year...

That's a great price!
I used the previous model with 750 lb torque, drilled 30+ holes (8" Fin Bore) in 6" of ice and only lost 1 bar on the battery. No more stinkin gas powered augers for me!

deweyicefish · « **Reply #8536 on:** May 21, 2016, 08:21 PM »

just checking in think of the ice ...does it ever go away...

Greetings Dewey hope you are having a good spring with time to do some open water fishing.

I'll be happy to get some ice, but lots of snow will hurt walking in it.

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #8540 on:** Jun 24, 2016, 10:36 AM »

For the most part ...winter snowfall isn't that bad on average near me ...but 2014/2015 season dropped two heavy snowfalls with no warm up in-between making it tough.. sloppy and memorable.

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #8541 on:** Jul 07, 2016, 09:26 PM »

Hmm seems my M18 fuel has a bit of a wobble at high speed... looks like I'm gonna have to get it looked at

mr.clean · « **Reply #8542 on:** Jul 08, 2016, 02:15 AM »

Loudmouth879 hope you are having a good open water season. Sorry to hear about the problem with your drill ,better to discover it now then during a ice fishing trip.

I dont open water fish much... gotta borrow my dads truck to do that... that will change tho when I get my own.

Yea was making some corn hole boards for my friends and was drilling some holes and thought hmm thats a weird wobble. Glad i did find it out now. I'll finish the boards before I have it looked at tho

I remember that! Trudging through knee deep slush to get out there, even snowmobiles were challenged to get out on the ice. I hope that doesn't happen again anytime soon!

Already plan to get the extension lol When I decided I wanted the clam plate I looked at the length of the lazer auger and went the extension is a must... When they first came out with the plate the first thing I said was they will make it so you don't have to remove the chuck in a year or 2 so I decided to wait.... Not sure why they didn't make it that way the first time.

mr.clean · « **Reply #8549 on:** Jul 19, 2016, 03:07 AM »

Loudmouth879 belated Happy Birthday enjoy the Clam plate this Winter. Did you get the wobble problem with your M18 Fuel drill resolved?

Redneck Fishfinder hope things are going well for you down on Long Island .
