Yes gents its finally on. Sodus bay had 2" right off the side of connelys and building only about 20yrd of shor by 40 yrd it was down under a 1". Leroy had about a 1" where we checked but couldnt get out to check the real ice cuz the dang aerators. All in all it is coming lets just hope it holds up for the next few days and no lake effect. Cross your fingers.

Seems like every year there is at least 1 guy falling through in Sodus. Stay away from the aerators!

We all want hard water ...... why are you pushing the envelope, its going to hit 40 deg. tues with rain NOTHING on the bay is going to be safe till we get STABLE COLD weather . Please don't be a statistic

Im talking 4fow so if my 6'6 @$$ gose thru my head is above water. I wasnt tryin to fish just checking it all and sodus is not getting rain we getting snow so these next 2 days in the mid thirtys will help melt any snow out there. One of my buddies is out on fair haven as we speak wasnt catching ne thing. He will probly getting off soon. And if u look at the hourly forecast there is only like 5 hrs on tuesday its above freezing so that means we will not lose ice to temps maybe to wind and snow weight.

Thanks but this chart does not show lat./long. I have a new computer and lost the site. It would show lat/long. when you move your cursor to any place on the chart.

Is it still raining or no out there

scribonion · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 02:30 PM »

This rain should put the hurt to the ice. Lets hope not too bad!

TeeBugg · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 02:52 PM »

johnplav · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 03:22 PM »

Planned on heading out there this weekend... but i dont know with this warm weather

cnyiceboy · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 03:27 PM »

I'd bet a bunch of money Sodus wont be ready this weekend, 4 plus inches of ice that is

pimplepounder · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 03:45 PM »

gotta get past this weekend nothing is stable be safe use your head

rgfixit · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 03:47 PM »

Lets not get too ambitious.

Remember, my friend Gary died on sodus 2 years ago, apparently thinking the ice was "safe enough".

Please wait till it's really safe.

we lost ice today! hope it tightens fight back up .... but a few inches can go quick ... be careful! i wore artic armor but had a pfd and rope too!

waterlover48 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 04:16 PM »

trapper looks to be misleading read a post from sandy pond,says you were fishing there not on sodus ,just dont wanna see anyone make a mistake sodus is not safe

ewelcher1986 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 08:22 PM »

Was at the bait shop today didnt look much thinner then sunday just had the water. If there was 2 inches then we prolly lost 1/4-1/2" and with the water on top that will freeze faster. Looked to be about 1/2-1" of water on the bay. We should be good for this weekend. Will have to check tomorrow see how the wind treated us

gut-n-gill · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 08:46 PM »

i would wait to see what the wind does to it i would guess it won't be ready by this weekend

ewelcher1986 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 08:58 PM »

As long as the wind is not straight out of the north we will be ok it wont destroy everywhere

the pike hunter · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 09:38 PM »

when i first moved to the rochester area i caught a lot of big pike all over sodus bay?

? I cannot catch them anymore??? I only get bass on the tip ups and perch on the jig?

? can anyone give me an area of the bay that still holds them toothy critters

ticklemeshanty · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 09:46 PM »

When sodus bay has good hard water, suggestions for a good area to fish on the bay?

skbx3 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 09:46 PM »

I also drove the bay on Sunday from Leroy to the Point, the ice looked iffy at best and I can't believe it is any better now with the warm weather and wind. This early in season stay safe and wear a PFD.

ewelcher1986 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 12:52 AM »

Leroy only had maybe an inch. But only checked about 15' out and ot was really weird this year for the aerator. Im gonna take a look at everything around there tomorrow.

pimplepounder · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 03:21 PM »

hows it looking today

mr perch · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 08:30 PM »

Hey guys, from Auburn Sodus is always our first hard water spot. Just wondering how it held up over last nights wind and rain?

anglerman · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 08:55 PM »

Hope to get out there this weekend if temps stay cold enough
