 If there is nothing good in the northwest corner, there is nothing good period.  I will be heading up to a spot north of Worcester Sunday.  It is an hour drive from my house in Providence. Hit me up if you want more info

I got off the ice in RI at 11am last sunday.. In the morning it ranged from 2" - 3" at best.. The sun poked threw and it got. worse quick,.very crackly with every step. The holes i was jigging were pushing water like an over flowing sink. The expansion cracks that were solid just a couple hours before flexed a little more each time a walked by... But, the the morning produced a personel best, 34 fish. Amazingly 32 were from the same 10' hole. I jigged calicos, yellow perch,white perch, a larry, and sunfish... Just amazing.. The vex was almost solid red at times..I left them biting knowing my best day could quickly become my worst.This weather is crazy, you really have to check the ponds yourself or get a solid report . Alltitude, location, wind ect are all freeze factors...pictures to follow. FF

I'll be in Chepachet in an hour or so I'll throw a Bowdish Lake report out. (not that anyone is going to fish there but it might have some ice on it. ) I'll be driving by Waterman and give you a visual. I'll spud Bowdish and report.

Waterman is a mess.  open water and ice lots of slush ice. You can ice fish and duck hunt at the same time on Waterman. Washington is slush ice but looks tight. Spudded up Bowdish 3-4 inches of white ice soft right around the edges walking out. I weigh 160 so no creaking or groaning on me. Spud spud spud for safety. Tonight will help but careful this weekend.
