I got a chance to get out today...1st time this year 2 different lakes I went to morningside park & lake to superior ..
the ice was clear on both lakes... A dusting of snow about 3"-3 1/2' of solid ice ...I managed to get 1 pickeral & 1 small perch .. checked out my gear
a fun day

Kbaez,Deweyicefish thank you for your reports. I'm assuming the higher elevation and slightly lower temperatures in Sullivan County were good for ice making. I stopped at Diamond Lake in Winding hills park (off of rt;17k in town of Montgomery Orange county) on Friday parts of the lake were still open water.

Sullivan county small lakes and ponds are primed ...cold calm nights and everything freezes up ...looking to be quite the warm up over the weekend and a week or so ...looks like Christmas day and beyond has some good ice making weather.

YUP! Warmer days coupled by night temps in the low 20s makes for good strong ice forming as long as the winds stay down. I have not gone past SB, or White lake yet but I suspect there is still a lot of open water on them because the winds keep them open longer. Very rare around here to be out on the big lakes much before the new year. I am hoping for no snow that tends to cover and then produce weak ice if it does not melt and re freeze.

My local pond had 4-4.5 inches yesterday afternoon ...my hit it on Thursday .

BlueSail · « **Reply #10211 on:** Dec 11, 2018, 06:40 AM »

Hey diehard, I know there are huge slime darts in one of our local ponds (I fished it Thanksgiving weekend), but have only heard that there are crappie and perch still in it...have you caught any jumbos out of it? 30 years ago we used to catch nice perch using tip ups on the pond. Be careful on the left by the springs...
My local lake had 3 inches at my access on Sunday, gotta be good now.

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #10212 on:** Dec 11, 2018, 07:17 AM »

BlueSail...no perch in that pond have ever been caught by me or my posse ..but some nice sun fish and some awesome crappie ...but ya gotta sift through those slime darts ...well if you have 3" I.F/O your access I will bet down from you has even more ..now I may hafta switch gears/locations on Thursday .

alexg425 · « **Reply #10213 on:** Dec 11, 2018, 09:43 AM »

got out for a couple of hours on waywayanda lake/pudding street pond in California hill state forest, putnam county. Ice was about 3.5-4 inches. Marked some fish around some timber but couldn't get any bites. Now I have to work :/ hopefully the ice holds up this weekend. I did catch a couple 9 inch bluegills there in the spring so hopefully i can figure it out.

Its in the state forest so it is public land. You can park at the end of waywayanda court and along the street as long as there is no snow. It is a dirt road and I don't think it gets plowed all the way down. Maybe we can meet up for a bit Saturday morning and tag team it.

Interesting, I tend to do the exact opposite, public then private as the public lakes are usually fished out after first ice.

I can usually access private pond/lakes quite earlier as they freeze first with easier access..to scratch that itch and work out some new add ons to equipment and techniques..usually first ice is the first two weeks of January of the season followed by 4 weeks or so for mid winter doldrum ice fishing and the last 2 or so weeks of late ice...if March weather cooperates .

Gamalot · « **Reply #10224 on:** Dec 11, 2018, 01:57 PM »

I highly doubt the public lakes get fished out, the bigger ones I mean like SB, White Lake, Toronto and Superior. I do agree with die hard that first ice is best and the fish are more active. Then they seem to go into a hibernation of sorts right around mid February and seem to wake up a bit just before ice out. I do my best fish catching right at early ice out when the shorelines are open but the middle is still ice. Those fish were not fished out and more likely just taking a long nap and conserving energy in the deep cold not needing to eat that often.

Yep that's what I meant, sorry for the bad wording. I've only been fishing Sullivan for 2 years, this season is going to be my 3rd, but in my limited experience I've always had 2-3 good trips on public water during first ice before it shuts down for me and then I have to go looking elsewhere. After that first ice, the fish all seem to get super finicky and it takes a lot more effort to get them to bite, and that's when I switch to the private stuff and that bite generally holds up a lot better probably due to less fishing pressure and etc.

Well, the link is good and they do have live bait to sell. So I placed an order, 500 Giant Meal worms for $14.00 which are in stock. Then I get an email explaining live bait must be shipped 2nd day air at a cost of $38-$40 plus the cost of the worms. Can't honestly blame this on the seller and I do appreciate being warned up front so I could cancel the order. This would probably be a much better deal if a bunch of guys got together and ordered 5,000 worms at a time and split them up after they arrive.
