Probably shouldn't say this either but, I don't like wearing panties..DD....
Hold on now trap I'm recently retired so I know about the trips to the mailbox too! How do you think I have time to ice fish AND go to the country club? Ive fished Whitney Point a few times over the years and for my two cents don't think its worth the time already spent here arguing just why it sucks. Just my opinion though I guess some people catch a few fish there. I
well he's easy to point out ! he's the guy that sets on a empty bucket on whitney point
Curious how holeman’s hard day at work is going while I read ice shanty... at work.
Hi there new to ice shanty. I'm from the Binghamton area and haven't been up that way in a couple weeks. Did they ever open keible Rd? And how was the ice on the channel? This rain and warm weather has really hurt the ice on the smaller pond I've been fishing lately. Was out last night and only 5 inches left! Rain today makes it a no go.
Well on a lighter note.... I caught my PB white sucker at the derby if that's worth anything hahaha, 22" and 4lb. I've never caught a sucker through the ice so that was an experience on its own. Got it on a tiny tungsten jig with a 1" Berkley plastic too, seems crazy!
welcome to the site. The ice on the lake was 15 plus inches for the derby. As a public employee I was off today for the holiday and got back up to the lake. Too bad holeman had to work. 😁 The lake must have made more ice since Saturday as the holes from the derby were frozen back over. And yes, the back road along the lake has reopened but is not maintained. Oh yeah. My bucket wasn't empty today.
Hey thanks for the answer. Glad you caught a couple. I'll be up this afternoon to give it a shot.
How’s the rain been there today? Falling hard or just a moderate drizzle?
Just something to keep in the back of your mind... dams and reservoirs serve the primary purpose, aside from drinking water, of flood control and are typically managed as such. Recreational purposes like boating and fishing are important considerations, but are secondary to protecting the public downstream. The Army Corp doesn't give a rat's patuty about the bugs in the weed beds like we do... That's not really their job. Can't fault them for that- and since my family's farm is in the river valley downstream, I'm grateful that it is managed the way it is
Heeeessss baaaacccckkkkk 😃😃😃😃😃
was your sucker the one on the derby board until that big carp got hung up?
Nice one Mack2..I have never got one through the ice. I heard the announcer mention about a big sucker being caught. I also heard there was some carp caught too. ...one really big one. Did you win the $ money in the sucker division...or did they lump the suckers and carp in the same money pool?
I stopped my car last week in that pull-off overlooking the dam and saw a few guy's casting from shore a ways downstream of the spillway. Are the same walleye special regulations in effect there as they are in the lake ? { 18" and 3}
Nope! Its 15 and 5. Ive heard of guys getting their limits quite a bit this season, too. Its probably like a tsunami right now with all the water coming out of the dam, though.
Choo Choo Jay and I fish it. It is usually pretty good if you are not there during flood conditions.
