Anyone headed to lake Bonaparte in harrisville this weekend?? Derby starts at 7am held by the harrisville fire department. Hourly prizes for pike. And also lake trout division but not hourly. I fished it last Saturday ice conditions are good. Solid 8-10" of ice w few inches of snow. We did receive more snow Sunday and Monday so snowmobile will be the best option. No slush yet see you all on Saturday the 18th.
What a tough year it's been for me. They have been handing me my a$$ most of the season. I seem to Be in that February lull, time to make some adjustments.Anyone else having a noticeably tough year?
Yes. I struck out 6 days starting out the season. Then myself and one other guy put up a 41, 40, 39, 36, 35, and 33 in 2 days during one of the first warm ups. Right after was got dumped on with snow and I have been sitting on the side lines ever since. Ice is gonna go fast this year. Some of the water around me only have 12" of ice. There should easily be double that this time of year. My mind is already back in the boat.
Not looking good for the Lyme derby. Do you think they will cancel it or make it ice or open water?
does anyone know of a lake with safe ice near canton, ny............I have to go see my son this weekend and would love to get one more ice fishing day in before it's over for the year, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
