Fished a lake in Sullivan County today with a couple friends, had about 7 inches of ice with snow on top. Bite was picky throughout the day but we ended up doing alright. Iced some jumbo perch and a crappie along with a couple bass.

We're going to hit white lake today but at the last minute we switched gears and headed to big pond. We arrived there around 10am and there was another set of guys already out there. MISERABLE is the only word I could describe today. The wind was blowing 20+ mph gusts and sending snow drifts right over the tip ups every 15 to 20 mins. Thank god the clam kept us warm. We managed only 2 smallmouth today but we'll be back out there to seek our revenge on this place they call Big pond 😜

I really do want to give you credit for your enthusiasm but in all honesty I think you need your head examined. I think we have all been out there on days like today but this day was aptly predicted and it sure did live up to those predictions. On a day like today the best plan if you really must go fishing is to bring the clam and heater and a manual auger to drill 2 holes inside the shelter for jigging. Leave the tip ups at home. I can't imagine how nasty it was to break camp and pull all your gear in this blizzard. Big Pond with winds this strong coming directly out of the NE is a blow job I would certainly pass on.

Please don't take any of that wrong. In my younger days we would drive towing the 17 foot Aluminum center console boat up to Lake Ontario to fish for salmon. That was a 5 hour drive up and we damn sure did test that little boat out on waters we had zero business ever being on. Even the big 30 foot charter boats would not go out be we did more than a few times. The difference is that we always caught fish in those adventures and some mighty fine fish for sure.

Monday or Tuesday might be much better days coming up.

We're like the post office we fish come rain,sleet, snow, 400 mph winds and 50 ft snowdrifts 😂😂
In all honesty Gam we should of stayed home and did some maintenance tune ups on some fishing equipment for the spring.

Anyone have luck with access to Lake George? Yes I know it is the wrong thread, I talk to those guys as well but they are rightfully tight lipped on some places. I have gone a couple of times but find a place to access the lake for lakers can be a real pain. Figure I would drop the question on this thread as well since I am sure some of my fellow ice fishing addicts that have to drive 2 plus hours also drool over the prospects of Lake George but don't know where to start.

kbaez · « **Reply #9771 on:** Jan 06, 2018, 05:06 PM »

fished Harriman today with a 2 other guys landed about 25-30 perch and 3 pickreal a 20, 23, 25 inch be back out there tomorrow

Did anyone hear that they stocked walleye in titrati? First I heard of it.

fishon723 · « **Reply #9774 on:** Jan 06, 2018, 06:20 PM »

We fished Silvermine today and had a decent day with the yellow perch. Will be back up in Harriman tomorrow undecided on which lake to hit.

kbaez · « **Reply #9775 on:** Jan 06, 2018, 06:45 PM »

if anyone is interested in a good live bait pail I highly recommend " ice hut buddy" single minnow dispenser I bought one 2 weeks ago and love it used it all day to day in temps under 3° kept my fingers dry and bait alive

kbaez · « **Reply #9776 on:** Jan 06, 2018, 06:48 PM »

I herd it also but I fish that lake quite a bit in the spring and summer and have never landed one or talked to anyone who has but doesn't mean there not there is

Wanted to head up to Lake Gleneida this week. Its about an hour away from me, does anyone know if it has safe ice?

Hi, I live in New York, and although it is really difficult to fish, being a high school student and living in a densely populated metropolitan area, I still enjoy fishing. Thankfully, I have found some really good locations to fish around the suburbs of New York (Thanks local bait and tackle shops!).

Today, my faithful father and I set out to go fishing in our new favorite spot - a cove in Muscoot Reservoir - despite of the arctic temperatures predicted. Thank the LORD that we returned home, not only with all our fingers and toes, but also some photos of the fish we had caught: the biggest bluegill I have ever caught, and a beautiful little crappie!

I sincerely thank you all for your accurate updates on ice conditions and for informing and encouraging the next generation of anglers and young outdoors-people.

As a consequence of this forum, however, I have developed quite the longing, and what some might consider addiction, to ice fishing (at least until Mr. Jeff Sessions changes his narrative), but I guess loving fishing isn't quite the worst thing ever.

Now for some pictures:

Tight lines and be safe.
