Lousy, horrible, rotten, no good year. Southcentral PA never had safe ice. Didn't make any trips north. Blah... Getting the boat out this weekend.
Well guys can't say that I didn't have a good year out there on the ice as I did even though the ice was crapola. Had to travel a bit and fished two new lakes again this year which is always fun for a new adventure. I sure hope next season we get some better conditions in Western, PA. I'm thankful for the times I was able to get out but sad to see it go as this was my shortest season in 15 years of ice fishing. Will put the last of my ice gear away tonight and get ready for trout streams or maybe some walters up at pymie. Anyone else out there still hardwater fishing be safe and good luck STAY ON TOP. Thanks for all the reports, chatter, and distractions from the "real world". I check this site religiously during ice season and have taken loads of knowledge from here to put to use on the ice.Catch all you ice nuts next season!
sorry to hear it.
Just the way she goes! Just means I'm all kinds of amped up for open water. haha.
I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I was on ice pretty much all season. Any time I wanted to get out and walk on water, I did. It was funny this year though, on most of the lakes that I usually do good on pickerel and perch, all I could come up with most of the time was gills! Perch avoided me pretty easily and pickerel mostly stole my jigs and ran... although I did catch a pic on Prompton that had a Swedish pimple in his lip that wasn't mine. Thanks to whoever it was that lost it, I'll put it to good use next year!
