May be a while before the bigger schools of stripers make it up that far as we are still waiting for them here in NJ. The schoolies are starting to become more frequent but no biggins yet.

Also, no new ice being made in NJ yet. But soon.

archbishop · « **Reply #40 on:** Apr 16, 2005, 03:36 AM »

Jim

perchfisher · « **Reply #44 on:** Apr 17, 2005, 08:27 PM »

yea i havent seen ice for about half a month, except for in my drinking glass..........

TGF · « **Reply #45 on:** Apr 17, 2005, 09:06 PM »

I'm still on ice here in north central BC but I have to head up to the mountains as low level is getting a little soft and a little open water around the shore. High level should be good for another 5-6 weeks but tough slug getting up there.

archbishop · « **Reply #46 on:** Apr 18, 2005, 07:14 AM »

well our overnight low was warmer than most of february so i dont see any new ice being formed but will keep my eye out for some

C.C. · « **Reply #47 on:** Apr 18, 2005, 07:59 PM »

Just remember Arch, today was just one more day crossed off the calander. We are well on our way to first ice

Jim

I could still icefish now, but it would be a pain to snowshoe in like 20 miles. I live in western colorado FYI

yeah woke up this morning to 40 degree temps and highs in the mid 70's in western new york horrible horrible ice making weather even odder is the mid 70's in WNY in april hows the temps down your way?

C.C. · « **Reply #50 on:** Apr 19, 2005, 07:15 PM »

80's today and 80's tomorrow

. We are getting ever closer to first ice though.

Jim

archbishop · « **Reply #51 on:** Apr 19, 2005, 07:19 PM »

well good thing for the ice is its supposed to snow this weekend bad thing for me im camping out at a trout derby oh well maybe we will get some good ice out of it

MikeThePike · « **Reply #52 on:** Apr 19, 2005, 09:18 PM »

Arch, I don't think that snow will help out to much. Looks like we'll have to wait about 8 months to make it back out on the ice (even tho I plan on rigging my tip-ups for open water fishing on my private lake in PA

), unless you have access to a 1 acre freezer and if thats the case let me know where, I'll bring the auger and some beers.

archbishop · « **Reply #53 on:** Apr 20, 2005, 05:14 AM »

lol mike no i dont but that sounds fun and here it is 6am in western ny and still 50 degrees man its going to be a long 8 months

C.C. · « **Reply #54 on:** Apr 20, 2005, 07:21 AM »

My report in Pa. at 8am is 63 degrease. I think I heard Ice forming on our goldfish pond this morning

. I think we should get together ind look for a very cold weather pond like mike said, and buy some freezer compressor's to put in it.

Hey man when you go out in the walk-in let me know im dying to get back on some ice lol

C.C. · « **Reply #57 on:** Apr 20, 2005, 03:55 PM »

The only problem I can see with the walk-in would be, Do the consider it a perminent shack

Jim

archbishop · « **Reply #58 on:** Apr 20, 2005, 03:57 PM »

well the rules have a time for the shack to be off the ice not the ice to be off the water
