Sorry for the late intro. Please see Season 2018 for an explanation.

This thread is for recording the shenanigans that happen on Newfound Lake as part of the Newfound Circus. Please feel free to post, post pictures, give reports etc etc...as to what is happening on the lake throughout the 2019 ice fishing season.

A couple of things to remember if your not familiar with fishing Newfound Lake / being part of the Circus.

Anyone fishing Newfound is part of our Newfound Circus family.
BUT there are a few things:

1. Bring a Motorola hand held radio. Go to Channel 5.5, there is a lot of chatter on this channel. Some good info and lots of silliness. If listening to this channel, it is NOT for children or those offended easily. It is purely for entertainment and if needed, for emergencies. If you are ever in real trouble and need help, you can always holler out for assistance.
btw: real emergencies aren't "hey can someone give me a ride across the lake" or "can someone take care of my house during the week while Im too lazy sitting on my couch".
2. If you see someone struggling with whatever....reach out and lend a hand. Mother nature can be a tough b!tch and it's always easier working together whenever possible. Takes only a minute and you may make a friend.
3. Whenever you help someone out, request that they "pay it forwards" to help someone else too. If we all "pay it forwards" and tag someone else to do the same, imagine.......(as John Lennon would say).
4. Have a handle....there are plenty of Mike's, Steve's, John's etc etc...out on the lake. I actually know quite a few folks only by their handles. No clue what their real names are....Not interested. I sorta like it this way too in case Im asked any questions

5. Post up! Take pictures...we have some awesome sunsets on Newfound. Some great rainbows in the lake (and sometimes above the lake in the sky) and of course a ton of lakers with a few being corkers, cusk, yellow perch etc.... Post up your adventures on the lake, what you had for lunch, conditions and anything else you wanna share. I enjoy reading the updates from everyone, keeps the thread interesting in my opinion.

I know I'm a bit late to starting this party. As I mentioned, I was planning to take this season off on IS but was convinced otherwise. I will backfill the beginning part of the season as best as i can and start this thread off.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and the kick in the ass i needed to get this going again. I hope you enjoy this thread as much as I love living it.

Cheers!

Jiggin.

Posting at the Dark Side has to be approved by the Captain. What happens at the Dark Side stays at the Dark Side. Guinea rumors has it there will be cookies this year. The new bobhouse needs to be blessed.

Great to see the ‘019 thread back in its rightful place!
New season brought us tracks for the Argo and they really make the machine come alive in the snow!
We spent our 2nd outing on the lake today and caught our 1st laker of the season today on a tip up shiner...Shobizz had a laker feeding flurry while I was putting in the tip ups but nothing on the jig stick today. We came out late intending to fish the afternoon and were loading out when Tippin stopped to say hello.
Also upgraded our culinary capabilities by adding a portable propane grill and we christened that today with cheeseburgers! Good to have a hot meal!
The laker I caught on the trap took out a ton of line...never saw one run that much before. Of course when playing him to the hole my line froze into a wicked knot all piled up on the snow in the freezing weather.
Had to bring that trap home to fix it.

No cookies, but always up for a good blessing. Couple flags today but nobody home.

Jiggin, I'm no where near as eloquent as Stealth and the last several posts on the (18) thread.
Just wanta say thanks for rethinking this (19) thread and all your effort, both on and off the ice.
The Circus thread and videos are appreciated by far more than you know.
Carry on!

LOL! No but We welcome all to the circus. I’ve got no hang ups.
I was thinking of more along the lines of “pot of gold” but that’s pretty funny!

First off nice looking laker Mow

2nd a big thank you to Jiggin for all his efforts.

And 3rd really missed the hardside fishing last year, portables just aren't the same. Found one for sale and took the plunge. With any luck will be on the ice and back in the circus in two weeks.

Tight lines everyone.

Jiggin I don't post a lot but I've probably read everything and watched all the videos. I love the circus and their Shananagins. Thanks for rethinking.

I will be up for a visit before the season is over. Joe it would be cool to bump into you out there.

haightdaddy · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 07:32 PM »

Glad to see the circus up! Can’t come on this page and not read and watch everything in the thread, it’s great. Tight lines!

Altonbayicefishingfool · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 08:26 PM »

Thanks Jiggin for a new thread for ‘19, I was getting worried there wouldn’t be a circus this year!!

Although majority of my fishing is Alton Bay, I try and get up to Newfound a few times a year, maybe more this year with a new job closer to home.

Look forward to reading all the shenanigans and F’ckery that takes place!
See you out there...ABIFF

As others said, definitely glad to see the Circus is back in town. Many of us only get up there a couple times a season. So when we can't be there, it's awesome to watch what goes on there.
I love watching the cameraderie and "pay it forward" lifestyle. More Americans should take watch....Thanks Jiggin and Company. Keep up the good work.....and "Shenanigans"

When you say cookies, do you mean “cookies”?

Glad to see you are back

Tipping, Sausage and spaghettios ! It doesn't get much better than that for a meal on the ice !

I have to admit, this is a startlingly appealing culinary creation I am going to have to get after...

Mr.Harry · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 15, 2019, 08:03 AM »

If you tossed some peppers and onions in that, would it qualify as Cacciatore?....

I'd call that American chop suey...

Good to see your still eating well on the ice Tippin, congrats on the new shack..
