Several of you fine Ice fishermen have been chasing the 10 to 15 day forecast since I opened the weather topic back on December 6th you will find as we get close to this coming weekend that the forecast will be not so cold.

Well, we will see................but I will keep track of conditions and the forecast. A lot of folks are complaining about the lousy season, but I have been on the ice 6 days so far.

You can bet if I can find 3.5-4” of good ice, I will be fishing!  ;)  ;D. It may take a little work to find it, and/or driving an hour or 2, but whatever it takes...............

I agree!  I am a motivated driver to find ice.  I just have to travel further more often now.

I checked our private lake yesterday after work and was pleasantly surprised to see how well it was holding it’s ice.




I walked out testing with the spud as I went. 10 hits of spud before breakthrough. And I measured 3.5” of ice which was the same as Saturday morning.






The shoreline had deteriorated a bit, but I was able to find a spot to walk on and off easily. And once on, I could have walked just about anywhere on the lake.






I think we’ll be OK here in the Poconos until the next real COLD snap comes............

I'm very happy you live close to these high elevation lakes/ponds up in the north east corner of the state and these places held very marginal ice (that most would never go out on ) and returned safe . You may do this a lot but it don't make you courageous or THE MAN . You put your life in danger ,and worry family members  and the first responders if you go through . you may beat the REAPER 1 or 1000 times he only needs to win 1 time .

Hey BDH63, what are you talking about?   Rutt Nutt is the safest ice fisherman I know and has provided all of us on this site with valuable intel on ice conditions.   He does not brag and only tells it like it is.   You need to be a bit more respectful my man.

 And this is why I made the post a month ago.

Why are you here?
« on: Jan 31, 2024, 12:08 PM »

 This is an ICE FISHING site. Ice availability in PA the past two seasons has sucked.  Idk why some seem to take pleasure in that....on an ICE FISHING page. There seems to be a few folks that post only negative comments, complain and get into pissing matches with others. So I ask, why are you here. These same folks dont add reports, conditions or positive advice.

Who? Rutt? meh, never liked the guy.  ;D

Actually, Rutt took me ice fishing for the first time. Went to some private pond that was about 2ft deep. Never even saw a fish but had a good time. Rutt is all about safety and friendship and would never steer you wrong. Except when you're turkey hunting. The guy can't sit still for one minute!!! LMAO!!!
