I want to go where ever the ice is safe and when the weather is worth coordinating an outting. That would be some run for me, I do not know that water, is it good fishing these days?

Look at most of the threads regarding Sacandaga. I believe they call it the dead sea for a good reason. I do know it has some monster fish in it but I wouldn't take the ride unless I had a good friend who knows the lake real well.

a friend of mine lives up there & he invited me to come up, he is not a ice fisherman though. his friend has a shanty we can use & fish with him .

the only good news is that the temps are rising a little bit, we have melted off 6" or so in the last 24 hours, I just wish it would quit snowing again today....OK I'll quit ranting and get back to working on the house now...

pooley · « **Reply #2317 on:** Feb 28, 2010, 01:08 PM »

people still digging out here, with some power outages still! a lot of wet snow, the a lot of dry snow on top. we got around 2 feet.

Hammer614 · « **Reply #2319 on:** Feb 28, 2010, 04:55 PM »

Drove by greenwood lake today....one person out by the coves on the NY side. At least 3 or 4 guys out off of Indian point and 1 or 2 off of forest knolls. I also spotted a few guys way south of Fox Island on the Jersey side. Some of the shorelines looked pretty wett but off of the coves and Indian it looked to be pretty dry. Also looked like a spot of open water out in the middle off the knolls. I personally didnt fish but wanted to pass on the info to you guys.

is anybody going to the ice fishing contest at sacandaga next weekend

I was planning to go up there but with all the snow dont know if it makes any sense, talked to a guy up there and they were expecting like 40 inches. I dont know what they actually got, but that didnt sound great.

topher7694 · « **Reply #2322 on:** Feb 28, 2010, 09:26 PM »

Well, on the bright side of all this snow, TFB and I managed to get the first countertop installed and the new sink and dishwasher plumbed and running.....Finally, a sink in the Kitchen !!!!!!! now it the weather cooperates, I may get to fish next weekend...weather permitting...

we were just talking about it BC, if all goes well this week were going

mtbusch · « **Reply #2324 on:** Mar 01, 2010, 07:56 AM »

I'm always inclined to head north in March. weather says warm days but freezing nights.. now is the season to pay attention for safe ice reports. When I hear a lake has open water, I prefer not risk a trip. I'm guessing there will still be safe ice one or two more weeks on smaller water up north.

Hammer614 · « **Reply #2334 on:** Mar 03, 2010, 08:07 AM »

Was out on a private pond in sullivan co. yesterday........there was 2" of snow on top of a slush\water mix of 6 to 8" and then 8" to 10" of black ice under that. Also the holes I drilled last week are all still open (some visible and some not visible) and big enough to swallow someone whole......a little scarey. good luck out there and be careful Tight Lines

A buddy of mine in DEC said Saratoga lake was clear .... as they did not get the snow we did here. Lots of ice and the edges are good. don't know how far north you guys are gonna come. Once your rollin on 87, what's another 30 - 60 minutes?
