Anybody have a prediction for the first weekend in January? I have never ice fished Cuba and I wanted to get out somewhere before I have to go back to school in Eastern PA but it looks like this storm is taking away any chance of that happening.

Did a drive by at about 11 a.m. and it looked good... had my daughter with me and we both said that it was 50...50
But every small pond is tightly locked up... I'm wondering about Alma pond it's smaller then Cuba and far shallower
it has to be locked up... my scouts buddy was supposed to let us know but yet to hear from him... love that lake in the afternoon for slob crappies

I went by Alma pond yesterday. The lake is frozen over, but it's still not good ice. There's a lot of  slush on it. Probably be safe in a few days.

Whitetail in Olean usually has bait but only if your willing to pay a little more for it, atleast it was that way two years ago. Anybody find good ice?

I live 15 min away, will head up tomorrow to check it out. I know a warm spell will mess up the ice with the Ishua water shed running in. If temps stay cold the ice is normally good.
