I would love to fish that hole lake and find the big perch that have to reside under the ice....as well as the crappies.  I have an idea where to fish for them, but....


Chris - I have drilled everywhere on that lake and never found a concentration of  either. When you get them they are nice but no rhyme or reason. We left the other day with a nice pail of fish but also cut alot of holes.
Only place left to explore is the main lake basin. Once winter sets in im sure theres perch to be found along with some suspended crappies. For whatever reason it has never been a "big numbers" lake...

morningside is a small pond right by sullivan county collage gps for 11 morningside rd hurleyville ny   but i am not joking about the size  they are small a 8 inch gill is big there. if you are bringing kids its the place to teach them how to jig!!! alot of action a few times a day

thanks. want to find places with good action on gills to test out jigs

BC, I stayed till MOON ::) came up , But I did get a bite going  between 3pm  to about 4:30 .. mostly of the tips, alot of misses but managed to release three small lmb a pretty decent size pick  on the  :tipup: too/ one small lmb on the jig and lost the only perch at the hole. I am glad we met and looking forward to meeting on the ice again.  Did you find that deli? ;D

  • Yeah I'm a redneck, I could ice fish for a living.

It use to have many nice perch but it seems in the last 5-10 years,  it has a lot of little perch.  We probably could have had a bucket load this weekend but some jackrabbit (me) forgot to get mousies because my wife volunteered me help someone move.


Heaven is a Jack and Coke in one hand, a jig pole in the other and being surrounded by the ones that don't mind you do both.

HEY POOLEY! ANY WORD ON HARRIMAN OR GREENWOOD?     

EVERYTHING NEAR ME HAS ABOUT 3".......
greenwood is getting there, but they have bubblers going up the middle of both arms in the north, and across the lake by the beach. it may be tricky. my buddy lives there, so i'll keep you up to date. harriman will be a couple of weeks probably.

Drove through Harriman today happy to report that everything was locked up. You could see where people had thrown big rocks onto the ice did not go through. Hopefully another week or so of cold and we could be on there!
