Thank you LM, I was hoping to hear from someone who was out there today.

wetdreams · « **Reply #6908 on:** Mar 22, 2014, 06:46 PM »

I took a ride past Glenmere around 12;30 today. Starting to loose the shore line along the fence in front of the pump house. I didnt get out & check it but where you get on down the steep launch ramp it looked OK. There were 4 or 5 guys out fishing in the middle of the lake off to the right side. Im heading up to a private lake in Monticello tomorrow morning. Plenty of safe ice up there. Be safe & good luck.

Thank you. I will probably go there in the am.

The private lake I went to today was so private they didnt even let the fish in.

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #6912 on:** Mar 23, 2014, 08:36 PM »

Well kb how'd you do?

I would be surprised if you could get to safe ice on april 1st the way the 10 day looks

CatskillsFisher · « **Reply #6916 on:** Mar 25, 2014, 03:34 PM »

No you can not ice fish neversink or rondout. You also can not use a boat on them if there is any ice present. The best you can hope for is an open spot to cast from shore.

deweyicefish · « **Reply #6917 on:** Mar 25, 2014, 05:29 PM »

boss jigs have you been out ? has anybody been out in sullivan co. ?

I would think you would be good to go just be careful on the shorelines (bring a plank just incase) those are the only weak spots down here in orange county

mjgonehunting · « **Reply #6919 on:** Mar 26, 2014, 03:09 AM »

Lots of open spots showing up on East of Hudson Reservoirs.
There where a group on Muscoot behind the DOT yard on Rt100 on Monday.
If there is any current at all,there seems to be open water.
Some smaller ,more sheltered lakes might survive well enough to get another weekend if you really need to but they will be iffy!
Even a couple of farm ponds I have fished are not looking very good.
The ice is vetting that funky look to it,and I'm sure there is some honeycomb ice !
Westchester,Putnam,Dutchess,seem to be mostly done from what I have seen!

Guys on Croton Falls this morning still 10 in of ice top 6 is soft.

wetdreams · « **Reply #6921 on:** Mar 27, 2014, 02:44 AM »

Had a bad weekend last weekend. Myself & 2 other guys had 15 tip ups out & not one flag. Setup from 7 foot down to bottom at 12 feet. We jigged completly around this lake & only managed 1 small perch. We didnt mark anything from mid depth to bottom. Someone told me the oxygen level in the water is way off & that the fish are right under the ice so thats why we didnt mark any. Has anyone else had this happen to them & do you know if this is true ? Walt

That's what normally happens when we have a long cold winter theres low oxygen levels in lakes the fish get as close to the top as they can.... if there is nothing feeding water into the lake or a lot of springs in the lake there will be low oxygen levels in the lake due to when weeds begin to die because of a lack of sunlight the decaying weeds uses oxygen and thus lowering the oxygen levels in the lake..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqIGMXMIca8&list=UU3_D8PdKxi3QxIwJxMqmRvg this video/fishing show will give a better explanation than I did and give you some tactics for fishing lakes with low oxygen.

Loudmouth thanks for the info. I just got done watching the video. It makes a lot of sense this time of year.

boss j · « **Reply #6924 on:** Mar 28, 2014, 07:41 AM »

made it out yesterday. where i went the shores were ok on most of the lake but the high hills limit the sun that gets to this spot. fish are high in the water colum. still caught a good number of fish but everything that would eat was small. i did get a few nice bass though.

the ice was about 16 inches thick BUT it is a very soft 16 inches. you can actually hear the ice melting. and now with this rain the season has ended...

i had a good season. i won 2 contests both with my spoons. i have enough fillets froze in water to hold a few 20-30 people fish fries. never got skunked. and made a few good friends...

till next season

Loudmouth thank you for the video I saw this my last time out the one fish caught hung around the hole after being released. Boss Jiggs thank you for the ice report I was wondering what the ice conditions were like in Sullivan County.

I made it out for the last time on Thur. with boss jigs in Sullivan co . the bite was slow 2 nice gills 1 crappy & 2 bullheads on tip ups.
The season was alot of fun .. I went to 4 major tournaments all across N.Y.. a great year of ice fishing the deep snow made it a lot harder
to get on the ice . still a good year of fishing ...looking forward to next season all ready planning for the tournaments ..learn from
mistakes cut lines from big pike I was using 20lb fluorocarbon lost fish at tupper lake & sodus bay...got spooled out from lake trout 2 times
1 time flag broke & the fished spooled the tip up got in another tip up but I catch a 28"laker tupper lake I was using a old tip up from
buddy who is in ice fishing heaven for good luck ... it was a learning experience, steel for pike next year & tip ups made for the big fish
for sure ...I will be on site just done fishing for the year good luck & stay on top guys

deweyicefish, Howdy! Glad to see you had a great season and did well on the tournament circuit. Them Lakers can take a little line, and quick too!

I have Heritages and 500' of line on each of them. I had a Laker take half that line off in short order and the reel was still humming when I got to the flag! I used 30lb Fluoro for pike, I made my own quick strike rigs. It worked well on Tigers too. Congrats and best of luck to you. bart

ANY PICS?

deweyicefish · « **Reply #6928 on:** Mar 30, 2014, 09:18 AM »

Bart nice to here from you , a lot of fun this year ... thanks for your help with the gps system. I had some problems at the start ,
but with your help got things turned around ... I still have a few questions with the unit ..yeh next year large capacity spools for the
big fish for sure

...If you get down this way next year maybe get a chance to hit chadikee lake for the crappies let me know ...

bart · « **Reply #6929 on:** Mar 30, 2014, 11:01 AM »

Cool, Congrats again!
