JBoggey1, yesterday was a day that will keep us newtimers coming back, too. It was very nice to meet Cusefan and Tony and spend some ice time together. The perch kept my tip downs busy albeit a bunch of dinks most of the time. Icing that pike made me happy, indeed. Thanks to Cusefan for helping get it out of the hole while my tip down reel was breaking. Fun and exciting. I ended up with 13 keepers and a slime log. Glad I had my Smitty to make the drag easier but I'm paying for the 2 mile round trip today. I'm not 20 anymore (what?!).

Thanks also to TommyBoy1971

for the suggestion a few weeks back to wrap the slime log in newspaper for awhile before filleting. I put the log in a newsprint nap while the perch were being taken care of and it cut the slime down considerably. I still need more practice filleting those things before I figure out which way I like the best. I'm trying to waste as little as possible but it ain't pretty right now dealing with the Y bones. Haha. I'll get it eventually. Guess I'll just have to keep catching them!

choo choo___wonderfully stated post.

LPSteve___I don't have a wheeler so I generally walk everywhere unless I'm fishing with someone who has one. Smittys are super great for sure!

I fished GP Sunday. There was 4-6 six inches of honeycombed black ice. Not the greatest , but perfectly safe. I will mirror what Jboggey said. I got 35 keepers and I too kept a few smaller ones. About 10 nice ones 10-12 inches and alot of 7 to 9. I kept a few 7's that were fat or hooked deep as I do tip ups and I forgot my cleats so it was slow going to get to them. I had flags all day long and lots of bites jigging, never more than 10 minutes between bites. Pretty good day though. 2 pike about 24 or so jigging too. Fished from 9 till 6 and was second last off the ice only because I ran out of fatheads

Sounds like an amazing day, going to need to get there soon.

Yo Clint S,

Thanks for the report on Green Point. I have been eager to get over there, but the last 2 times I went there was open water and Cathy was smart enough to close the access. The women over at Green Point are very safety conscious even if the fishing addicts aren't. There are always spots out toward the cut that are dangerously thin and I can personally vouch for two Gas holes in that direction. Still, the variety of species at Green Point is unmatched on the open Pond. Did you catch any blue gills over there? I always get some nice flat fish to complement my perch catch over there and an occasional Bass and always a lurking slime log . There is even a secret spot or two where the Crappie can be found, ahem, don't worry Trap, my mouth is closed. Again , Clint s thanks for the report.

FISH ON

I was expecting to have to go to the Wig wam , but it was aok there. Only about 10-15 folks there. My gill collection there seems spotty at best as in my experience they take the spikes more than the fathead, and I primarily fish with fatheads. None Saturday, I too have gotten some lunker bass. I try to stay away from the cut area because I always see open water over there first and I know it can get thin, little sand in the ice over there too getting blown in will dull your auger blades too. Crappie's, I find a few now and then, but never consistently. I remember one day I got there and Cathy was so mad that a few folks went out before she got there she turned me right around and said no way.

trapper2000 · « **Reply #68 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 06:28 AM »

theres no crappies at green point!!!!

of course I say this in jest (joking) last time I said a spot had no fish I was attacked

,seems like a lot of people are short tempered lately ,i'm not sure why really we have ice again not the best but it's safe if you pay attention and check with that spud I preach about ,we got fish again on the pond and were not walking threw 2 foot of snow ......get out there and enjoy yourselves while you can ......and yes boggey a 8 inch perch will eat and yup I ain't afraid of Y bones ......my fillet knife has no rust on it

Wish I could have got out there with you guys last weekend! But had work to do on the house. But I am taking Friday off. The wife works thursday night and friday night, so she will be sleeping friday and saturday so I will be fishing! Carcajou17 that newspaper thing works good the longer you keep the pike wrapped in it. Ideally if you bring the paper out when you fish and wrap it when you catch it, all the slime is soaked up by the time you are ready to clean later that night. Glad it worked for you!

...I always thought you brought the news paper with you cause you were Intellectual or had to wipe something.

JBoggey1___ Hahaha!

TommyBoy1971___Peeling off the newspaper from the pike made me think of Silly Putty for some reason...haha. It worked great, though. I'm looking forward to getting more pike. Also, I have a 4-day weekend Fri-Mon. My plan is to be out all four days if I can help it. I'll most likely stick to the Wigwam area. Just look for my smitty sled and the red shelter if you make it out. Maybe JBog will be there, too? Friday's predictions are that winds will be whipping near 20mph around noon and 1-3 inches of snow throughout the day. I bet the winds keep it from stacking up, though. Get those ice screws out, batten down the hatches, and fish on!

TommyBoy1971 · « **Reply #71 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 09:59 AM »

yeah I got a four day too. Saw that wind, hope its just for a couple hours. Definitely will be out friday so I will look for you and Boggey. Gotta stock up some perch and pike for the freezer! Wiping is over rated Boggey!

this coming week boggey i'll be out there!!!! love to fish with ya old boy and the rest of the gang ....that way we can gang up on you!!!!....i'd love to spend the day on the pond catching some perch and chasing a flag or two..... wouldn't even mind going over and catching a few of those nonexistent crappies

perryt · « **Reply #73 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 11:48 AM »

Yo Boggey
I think I'll take a little road trip up to the Pond this weekend ! Sounds like some legendary ice anglers will be on hand

Top secret you say. Hang on I still owe you for blowing up my chaumont spot. Let me dig up those coordinates to post.

Honey hole at the pond ...must have pulled three keepers out

....it is the best place to bring a kid fishing hands down

CNYperchsearch · « **Reply #77 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 07:20 PM »

Made my first trip to the pond today with a couple of fishing buddies. It seemed that we lost a little ice as the temp got above freezing, but it was never less than 4 inches. There was a small slush area at the top of the rock pile out from the Wigwam that made me change coarse. Don't know how thin it might have been. It just made more sense to go around.

The fishing was steady all day, but unfortunately most were dink perch. We each kept about 10 that were in the 9 to 12 inch range. They hit on a variety of bait, but fatheads were the best. Not a single flag on the pike tip ups.

Next trip up I'll have to search for Boggey's honey hole.

got about 2.5 to 3 ft in Mexico last night, but on my drive up to Drum this morning, pulaski didn't look like they got much at all on 81 so I'm guessing the pond wont have much on it either and it was fairly windy. was real light dry snow in that area.

In closing, these are my observations of existing conditions. I make no recommendations nor do I warrant these same conditions to prevail at all locations on the Pond. We all know about the gas holes and care should be taken when negotiating the pond. I would also like to note, the Sandy Pond Sportsmans Club is holding their 40th anual Tournament on Saturday and Sunday. These guys and gals do a great job and have a lot of fun. Don't forget they serve one heck of a breakfast atr there club. John, Brian, John and fellow staff members will serve you a great breakfast. Great way to start your day . Make sure you bring your tie down screws and heaters. It is supposed to be windy and cold this week end. Good Luck ith your tournament.

FISH ON

how do you sign up for the tourney?
