People, how the hell are we gonna be on the ice by mid january when the lows are bareley gonna be freezing the next 10 days. we are gonna need a week of highs in the teens just to be on the ice by feb. Wishful thinking, i wish some of you were right but it does not look good.

depends what bodies of water you want to fish and how much ice you feel comfortable fishing on

Like everyone else on here I'm hoping to be out there soon. Heard about Cabela's (potentially) backing out of Woodbury. Not new's I wanted to hear considering I pass by there everyday!

wetdreams · « **Reply #8103 on:** Jan 02, 2016, 09:42 PM »

I think they are trying to get the best deals they can get on Tax Breaks & what the town of Woodbury would offer them to build the store there. Just as gready as everyone else is out there. I to was hoping it was going to be built there but I can only imagine how much worse the traffic would be !

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #8104 on:** Jan 02, 2016, 10:58 PM »

I believe Cabela's actually backed out due to financial constraints.... I believe this is true because on their website Woodbury is no longer an "announced location" (as it previously was) or "opening soon" on their location map on their website while others are still listed as one or the other or open on there. Hopefully they reach a deal or realize that it could very well be a profitable location as we need a decent outdoor store in the area. Gander although has gotten better with their ice selection over the years it still sucks....

At Long Last....... One of the nation's premier fishing locations (Long Island, NY) will be getting our own BASS PRO SHOPS. The new store will be located in Uniondale, NY (probably in or near the Roosevelt Field Mall shopping area).

I visited the next nearest store today in Bridgeport, Ct. to spend gift cards I got for Christmas. Very impressed with this location.... it even had an indoor "Undersea" theme Bowling alley right in the store. Today was their Ice Fishing Event day with a couple of seminars and an impressive display of Ice Fishing gear.

Now all I need is ICE !!!!!

I am sure the NW CT ponds up near Goshen are making ice now, heard they froze over .

There was skim ice on the small ponds in Orange county but wind has ruined that.

Fished this afternoon.. 4"of white ice went out a ways to distinct transition of pure new black ice, only 2". Fished the transition. 8' depth. Lookers, no bites. Plastics. Most likely single digit night. Minnows tomorrow!

at the risk of offending some of you who will do it any way you are a retard if you go on less than 4 inches of good ice and you have no respect for your family and should not put a fish before them sorry just had to say it be safe use a rope if you must go on less ice please

jiignut · « **Reply #8119 on:** Jan 06, 2016, 08:20 AM »

Didnt fish on the 2". Fished back on the 4". Where it was safe.

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #8120 on:** Jan 06, 2016, 11:32 AM »

everybody of water is pretty much frozen... we shall see what makes it through the warm up we are going to get.... hopefully we don't get snow during the next cold snap. That will really screw things up. Should be walking on water in no time!

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #8121 on:** Jan 06, 2016, 03:09 PM »

Lil snow might not be too awful ...on the shore line it'll cut down on the radiant shoreline heat...we need to access our lakes some way

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #8122 on:** Jan 06, 2016, 05:42 PM »

I've been shopping for an Ion Auger and an LX-7.... glad I didn't pull the trigger yet... Also glad I waited on buying my bait! Should be putting that order in next week.

kb · « **Reply #8123 on:** Jan 06, 2016, 08:03 PM »

I ordered my spikes, hope they get here before the next big freeze!

I do fairly well with plastics so if I don't get my bait in time they will old me over....

On another note I won the what day will iceshanty's 3 millionth post fall on and as a prize I got a bunch of hand tied ice flies from RG! They look awesome as well so those will tie me over as well. Can't wait to try them!

I'm sick of waiting, heading upstate to get on some ice this weekend hope next week will get me out in Sullivan...

jiignut · « **Reply #8126 on:** Jan 07, 2016, 08:52 AM »

No one around had spikes or waxies till next week. Will use all or pieces of small red trout worms till first perch, then perch eyes after that. Or, back to worms. They will let me know..
