I haven't left Long Island all winter, and it doesn't look like I'm going to get a single trip in at this point. I'm just going to plan for a really good season next year!

Ditto for me Redneck..... just sitting here in Baldwin watching lousy weather reports!! Can't bring myself to drive all the way up to Sullivan Cty. searching for ice. Have you heard anything about the smaller LI ponds being frozen???

I live in Nassau, and some ponds by me are frozen. There should be a cold snap next weekend and hopefully that will bring some ice to the other Long Island/South NY ponds.

Didn't look around much this week as I figured it a no go. One lake I worked near looked good 15 feet out but shore was sketchy. gonna snoop around tomorrow will let you guys know. I live in sully. Bet by wednesday things will start looking good.

Did a little recon in my area today ....most shorelines on the north and east sides of my local lakes and ponds were inaccessible ...lots of open water out there .. think it might be best to wait ...if not use caution...spud and the buddy system .Starting Sunday colder temps with most days not breaking the 32 degree mark be patient and/or diligent.

pooley · « **Reply #8345 on:** Feb 06, 2016, 03:22 PM »

Any safe ice up in Sullivan? Looking to get out tomorrow.

If there is I would think shorelines would be shot... I know the majority of them are down here in OC

Mikey Ice · « **Reply #8347 on:** Feb 06, 2016, 05:18 PM »

Was at SB earlier today and the shorelines are very soft and most is even open water I'd wait till next week when the temps really drop

beachwoods 16 · « **Reply #8348 on:** Feb 06, 2016, 06:45 PM »

Actually saw two guys on a small private pond. They were probably pushing it. Most places not good. open water on white lake.

pooley · « **Reply #8349 on:** Feb 06, 2016, 06:52 PM »

Thanks for the replies! I will wait.

BlueSail · « **Reply #8350 on:** Feb 06, 2016, 07:23 PM »

I spudded my out this morning while it was still in the 20°s. found 4 inches of nice black ice, my access was on the south side, shoreline was solid. Moaning and cracking once the sun warmed up so headed in, found water coming up thru' some cracks, I was probably pushing it a bit, and only small sunnies...See you next week! COLD COLD COLD next weekend.

mr.clean · « **Reply #8351 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 03:54 AM »

Thank you for the reports on Sullivan County ice conditions guys.
Steve

BlueSail · « **Reply #8352 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 12:12 PM »

Major shrinkage occurring, down to three inches and some open water here in Sully.

greensider · « **Reply #8353 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 12:59 PM »

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #8354 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 03:20 PM »

looks like we're gonna get some nights of single digits coming up here should tighten things up real quick

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #8355 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 03:48 PM »

The BIG CHILL has begun ....the second coming of ICE ...by the weekend for ~~sure~~shore

deweyicefish · « **Reply #8356 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 04:25 PM »

I am going upstate to fish for a few days ... I am heading up to 4Th lake in the am ..A buddy has a house on lake for the snowmachine no snow he said to go up & fish... going to take him up on it...

kb · « **Reply #8357 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 05:39 PM »

I hope it lasts long enough to give up safe ice....

IceBalls · « **Reply #8358 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 06:32 PM »

Spoke to my buddy (Squidboy) today .... he has a home in Sullivan Cty. near Barryville, on a private lake. Lake edges are gone out to 6' from shore.... also some open water in the middle. His lake is within 1/2 hour from Superior, Huntington, White Lake, etc. ... jsut to give you some idea of area conditions.

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #8359 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 06:39 PM »

WU has only 7 hrs in the next 7 days above freezing ...and next weekend highs in the teens and nights in single digits

TRAPPER3 · « **Reply #8360 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 07:13 PM »

fished 3 lakes in Sullivan County this weekend....all locked up and 5-8" of good ice....a lot of cracking today once sun came up......

beachwoods 16 · « **Reply #8361 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 08:28 PM »

Well said Diehard A high above freezing is not a big deal when it is short lived. Not much sun this week either. Wonder what will happen with King of the ice.

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #8362 on:** Feb 07, 2016, 08:40 PM »

It looks like both the Hurleyville/Morningside contest and the SCCC/KOI/White lake are still on

Hopefully we will have some safe ice in Sullivan County by this weekend.
Be safe out there!

boss j · « **Reply #8364 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 03:35 AM »

be very careful walking on the ice! I know 2 days ago there were holes that had drained the rain water that were 2 foot across! with the temps we have had here in Sullivan county it will be very dangerous walking for a few days! if you happen to step on one of these holes it will be very easy to go through! and now with the snow covering them you will not be able to see where they are.

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #8365 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 05:19 AM »

Well looks like we are in for a warm up today...6 hrs above 32 before the needle drops ..going to be a frigid weekend ..going to try and get out Friday ahead of BRRR-AGEDEN..then bundle up for some weekend fun ...after that some snow possible mid week ...3 inches would suit me just fine to ease on the pulling of sleds down those rocky paths .Next two day would be nice to get out ..but those shorelines took a beaten over the weekend so patience will have to prevail.

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #8366 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 04:11 PM »

Think I'm gonna try to get on a local pond in OC tomorrow.....

Rather-B-Fishin · « **Reply #8367 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 04:24 PM »

thinking of checking out somewhere tomorrow after work...Huntington, sheldrake, or swb..got lots of bait fish to use before the stupid receipt expires!

going to be sub zero weekend up in swb this weekend, hope no wind.. i hate wind especially when i need to screw anchor the shanty or sled because of no snow on ice .. btw the kahtoolas foot cleats are great for black ice.. be safe on the ice..bring safety grip spikes and wear them around your neck so if you do fall in you can grip pick the ice to pull yourself out asp. ..also good waterproof insulated boots in case the shoreline ice is underwater which is usually the case for some lks after big thaws.

Shellfish
If you're gonna fish swb this weekend you better dress warm. Sat. high of 7 and low of -11 with 18mph wind. Sun high of 13 with 14 mph. Tends to run a little cooler here than the forecast. Finally feeling like Feb here in the mountains.

PerchFace · « **Reply #8369 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 05:17 PM »

Might have to break out the shanty and the camera!!!!!!
