hopefully not on delta ranger, sence it was just yesterday you were telling everyone to stay away from there because its not safe, so you might wanna listen to your own ice reports

Yup I was on Delta...I wasn't going to fish it only check the ice to give a report but to my surprise there was about 6". So I figured why not try it seeing I had my gear in the truck. After I set up I was joined by two other fishermen. I went almost all the way across the lake out by the beach. I fished in 30 fow with 5"-6" of ice and ventured to 50fow with 5" on it. Brought home some slob perch whic are defrosting in the sink.

I was on the Rome side. If you go out there please bring your safety gear. I did notice a pressure crack that broke loose while I was in my shanty. Use caution and your spud bar. Be safe.

there is a new bait shop in the delta plaza called out on on a limb

The ad I saved from last year has the shop named "Outdoor Connections"...same place? Anyone know their hours, and what they have in minnows?

ewelcher1986 · « **Reply #75 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 08:30 PM »

Is there any weird currents that flow thru there i use a sled and have a good amount of gear

NY Ice Difter · « **Reply #76 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 08:35 PM »

ya there is usually the channel is thin and there are a few spots where natural springs keep the water movin witch makes for thin ice early on as well as good fishing. but theres plenty of ice now like i said i saw ice houses out as well as wheelers.

ewelcher1986 · « **Reply #77 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 09:01 PM »

Thanks drifter. Do you kno the lake well? Pm me if you have more info on the place. $:-\$

A little late but here you go. Still safe as of 10pm last night with 7". When I left the ice there was a lot of water on the ice but it was good sill. Some spots looked sketchy but it was just black ice.

Ranger....How did you do last night? Any slobs ?

fourskis4 · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 01:26 PM »

Hey Limb1,

What are the hours at this new bait shop and what kind of bait are they supplying ?

fourskis4 · « **Reply #83 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 01:31 PM »

Buddy of mine caught 2 small tigers out of delta last summer. He asked the DEC about it and they said they must have gotten there by mistake, sometimes the fry gets into the wrong tank truck. sounds like BS to me.

deadsmelthead · « **Reply #84 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 02:09 PM »

Last I knew there wasnt a hatchery that they produced Walleye/Tiger Musky together in the same facility at least I dont think they do in constantia, and I believe that the hatchery that stocks Delta, But im not positive... There also isnt any listing of Tiger Musky being stocked in Delta on the DEC website.. Only Walleye stocked 5.2million 1/2 inch fry..

Maybe he is confusing a small Pikerel for a small Tiger or maybe there was some natural cross breading between a Pike and a Pickerel if thats at all possible..
With that said, Ive seen people on many occasions confuse Pickerel/Pike/Musky and Tigers... I have also seen many photos of Northerns with some strange abnormal markings.. Be great if he had some photos to share of them on a recognizable area of Delta...

bigzin how deep of water were you fishing that you had the 7-8 inches of ice. I was out there monday and there was 7 in but that was only 12 fow cuz the lake was making noise and my wife wouldnt go any farther out

Ranger_bound · « **Reply #88 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 04:02 PM »
