Greetings all. Any ice in our fine state? Haven't seen any "safe" looking ice in my commute lately, so looking to head to upstate NY. It's almost time here boys and girls.

Sounds like the mob will be out for the weekend.

Anybody able to by wax worms at any local stores?

How's the bait situation? I plan on picking up a bucket full on Friday from Dow's on the way home.

I might avoid certain lakes just because of that!!! It is one thing for 3 or 4 guys to be out and spread out on 4 inches of ice but when you have 20 guys out marching on ice that is not ideal that is looking for trouble in my opinion

Now thats some good news on both questions!!!....
From past reports i noticed you guys hit the Woodport area when its around 3" so im guessing its around that thick?

Webguy · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 18, 2007, 07:02 PM »

There's about 5 inches, bottom 2-1/2 are black and the top 2-1/2 are white.

Itsallaboutcatchingem · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 18, 2007, 08:37 PM »

Those underwater videos are awesome

TonyD · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 09:19 AM »

The bass video is great!

Tom_K_from_NJ · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 09:39 AM »

Hey webguy, those videos are great. How big was that bass? Tom

Webguy · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 10:09 AM »

Thanks fellas, I'm glad you liked them!
I don't know how big the bass was - it came off right at the hole.

jiggingfoul · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 10:41 AM »

great stuff web,that pickerel looked like it was full already.

nyr114 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 03:20 PM »

nice videos, those perch look cool underwater!

NickN · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 03:21 PM »

Webguy, Those videos are great! What kind of underwater camera are you using? I have taken some video with my Aqua-Vu ZT and it comes out alright but, yours is crystal clear. Got any tips you could share?

Webguy · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 04:42 PM »

NickN, I have the Scout - nothing special. Try cranking the contrast up to max then adjust the brightness for best picture.

doodle · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 07:27 PM »

Great stuff on those videos.

TheDFP · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 08:43 PM »

Those videos are great. It is amazing how long the pickeral stared at the bait.

Tom_K_from_NJ · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 20, 2007, 07:39 AM »

This is my 100th post- just checking to see if I'm no longer a "rookie"! tom

Tom_K_from_NJ · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 20, 2007, 07:40 AM »
