for those that commented on the bridge. I was there all day today, 7-8 inches, 5 1/2 black + 2 white. only managed 5 perch (was going for EYES). if you are walking in near the public boat launch. be careful, first couple steps are a bit crunchy. Goodluck out there.

Cold Fusion that is a nice Eye. Nice to meet you too.

I fished until dark and ended up with five perch. It sure was nice to get out.

nice eats there LM , I wish to get out this weekend but hopefully during the week after the crazy rain /ice weather.. today must be awesome on any the lakes..Anybody have the latest on Harriman? Somebody here mentioned some park officials measured just shy of green flaqs for some gates.. i will likely call during the week,, suppose melt snow and refreeze all later in the week.. perhaps this season is looking good for plenty safe ice soon

Should be good to go after Tuesday pretty much everywhere looking at the weather..... hopefully the temps in the upper 40's later in the week isn't correct and if it is at least it will be at or somewhat below freezing at night.

Hey Snowden...it was me posting about Harriman and Sterling. Nothing open yet..just shy of 6". Like LM stated hopefully this week. Fingers crossed!

Went to Sullivan yesterday.
Had a very good day of fishing on 4 to 5 inches of black ice.
That was a blust! Almost non-stop action for 5 hours.
Ended up with over 30 yellow perches (half of them in 11-12"range) and 4 pickerels - on the smaller side.

Pickerels and biggest perch - on tip-ups, the rest - plain old jigging Siberian style.

Here are the couple of pictures - beginning of the day and final product - ready to cook perch.

And yes - I'm Russian and we are considering fish eggs a delicacy!

Thx... White Pond is in Dutchess County, on the Border with Putnam County.

Upton had about 5 inches of ice, with snow on it. It was a very slow day out there. I didnt get anything, but others did.

ColdFusion it was good to see you again, and Trapper it was nice to meet you and your son. Hopefully we can get our own South East gathering together, aside from Huntington. Ha ha ha.

Lets see what next weekend brings!!

Best Fish's

PWG and LM pictures remind me of the fresh smell of perch fillets

.. I sure am looking forward to Harriman Corndog.. if it ain't this week, I'm planning greenwood lk ..I am only going to jig and use my hand augers in search of those delicacies

I hope my schedule is loose for the later part of this week after tomorrows rain melt and next day big freeze. I would really have my mind set for enjoying a winter park Harriman if they open but any local area including greenwood is fine for day tripping.

ColtsFan · « **Reply #6079 on:** Jan 05, 2014, 07:25 PM »

Thanks for the update KB. If its not raining too hard tomorrow afternoon I'm going to try either Upton or White pond, not sure yet.

TRAPPER3 · « **Reply #6080 on:** Jan 05, 2014, 07:40 PM »

CF and KB...nice to meet you both out there.......didnt stay long after you guys.....no action.....cant wait for the reservoirs to get good ice.....see you again ...

tipup28 · « **Reply #6081 on:** Jan 05, 2014, 08:42 PM »

do you need a permit to fish chadwick lake in newburg, or can i just show up and fish? are there any other lakes in the newburg area that offer public access. i travel about 45 minutes every week to get my bait down there and was wondering if there are any lakes nearby that i can try.

I think you need a permit. See hyperlink below:

Tipup28....... If yo're already travelling 45 mins to Newburgh for bait....your best bet is to ask the bait dealer about some local lakes. It is in his best interest to direct you to good fishing so you'll come back to him again!!

kb · « **Reply #6084 on:** Jan 05, 2014, 09:55 PM »

I won't get out till next weekend. Maybe we could plan an ice assault on a local res or
Pond with us southeastern shanty members! Ha ha wouldn't that be fun

Glad to help

mr.clean · « **Reply #6085 on:** Jan 06, 2014, 01:06 AM »

Tipup28 I believe you need a permit for Chadwick Lake available form the Town of Newburgh Recration dept. . A bit of a trip for you off of rt.17k is Winding hills park has a 40 acre lake with yellow perch and bluegills. This is an Orange county run Park so call before going to see if you can fish. They have regulations similar to Harriman and Sterling. Below are some phone numbers that maybe of help to you and others.

Winding Hills park ranger station (845)-457-4918, Thruway Sporting goods 78 Oak St. Walden,NY. (845)-778-1400, Ward's Bait& Tackle 12b Little lane (off RT.52) Newburgh,NY. (845)-518-4274 Borden Road bait shop 348 Borden road (off of Rt.208) Wallkill,NY. (845)-895-3915 (this is the hamlet of Wallkill in Ulster county not town of Walkill which is Middletown area in Orange county)

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the advice. I'm definitely up for that KB! Actually, the bait shop I go to is Ward's. Best shiners on the planet, plus a really nice guy!

If I lived up by you, I'd be targeting all the sweetwater lks and ponds further north just above Albany,, I am not sure where in Ulster you reside but, you are less half the milage to great fishing regions in nys.. Saratogo, copperstown.. the lower ADK region and many far better ice fishing opportunities.. than Esopus creek or tidal waters on the polluted Hudson river. good luck all the same

snowden · « **Reply #6088 on:** Jan 06, 2014, 06:37 AM »

Well, I suppose this is what we were expecting.. 52 degrees right now here by me.. I am hoping to accomplish some jobs/chore projects today while this balmy weather deteriorates by sunset lol.. before the record low artic sub zero chill factors return

like omg.. this is such crazy astronomical weather..can anyone think black ice might be an issue in the forecast

Hey Tipup.. If you could do me a favor. The next time you're at Wards.. See if they have any tshirts with their name. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
