Way to go Upstate icemaster and all, nice pickerel to start off the ice fishing season. :tipup:

How thick was the ice?

I don't see much black ice in this area that often, usually there is some snow on it. Pretty neat to see the bottom like that, and possibly fish through the ice. 8)

 Its was 3.5" of clear black enjoyment ... you could see the bottom crystal clear ..... Was able to see some bait in the shallows and also was able to find some good structure that ive never seen before  :clap: I fished it this afternoon for like a half an hour or so ... there is 5-6" of slushy snow on it now .... I wish it didnt snow I love black ice fishing its truley like walkin on water  :tipup:

.... we landed a total of 7 perch with a few misses ... none the less it was a good way to spend the afternoon with family  :thumbsup:  :tipup: :tipup:    More to come till then     :tipup:STAY ON TOP & TIGHT LINES  :tipup:
