SOUTHERN N.Y. THREAD (L.I., WESTCHESTER, PUTNAM, DUTCHESS, SULLIVAN, ORANGE COUN

Looks like you have some work cut out for you to empy the cooler first, to then fill it with fish. 

[topher7694]

I think I'll just use up all my bait, and then put em in my bait bucket...it's big enough

[Gamalot]

here is the hourly wind forcast for highland... I've fished in much worse. The wind is going to be half that up here.  Set those shelters up early!

Thanks Jimmy, just what I thought and I was there at 3 PM with the winds whipping right in my face at the sand beach bar.

My concern is the slush and ATVs getting stuck right as we enter the ice.

Where do you IS guys plan to fish in relation to the bar?

You may get lucky with the wind tonight blowing alot of the snow off and the colder temps firming up the slush.  We got a little over an inch, but the lake up here is cleaned off back to bare ice with the wind today.

[holehawg]

[jimmyclaude]

I expect some pics with fish and beers and HoleHawg and Topher in them.  Don't get your panties all in a bunch cause of some wind and a little slush.    You don't have to wear the cape but I want to see the big yellow "S" On your chest!

[holehawg]

I think that would require that I was "normal" to begin with...  but, yes,  we are settling in nicely. You can borrow him... if we spend too much time together, we tend to want to kill each other. Good luck at the tournament!
