Good morning all, been a while since I've posted, I'm sure nobody noticed. Anyways, headed to Winnisquam this upcoming weekend with a group of buddies and was curious if anyone had a report on ice conditions there? I know it's making ice now and will be nice and cold the end of the week, but did last weekend cause a bunch of melt (obviously)? Id love to bring my snowmobiles too, maybe some snow between now and then will help too.
This is a yearly trip and the past few years, due to lack of ice, we've fished a more protected and calmer small setback on the southernmost point on the other side of the tracks. Id rather not fish there again, as we've not had great luck, only a few small perch. Does anybody have thoughts on a better (safe) spot at the southern point, down by Lochmere area? I do NOT want your honey hole, just somewhere I may catch some fish and have safe ice.
I have used Dispy's suggestions in the past and had a great time bringing my kids to BIP for a lot of flags and fun on the ice.
Thanks for any help you have and as always, when in Pittsburg, eat at Grampy's and say hi to John.
