I fished Comet Monday during the "Hurricane", there may have been guys all over the place the other day, but let me tell you first hand that there may be 5" in one spot and 10 feet away there is 2" and the shore on the right side from the bridge up is very dangerous. I'm a bravesoul when it comes to Ice Fishing, I'm by no means trying to scare anyone away but be very careful, what you think is safe, may not be! Especially with the snow cover and small drift mounds. Last Saturday I was there to check it out after I went to see some guys at the derby in Leicester and there were open water holes all over the place in and around the boat ramp area, you could not get on at the ramp period. I'm not one for telling people what to do, but I sure would not venture out there alone. Yeah it's safe, but not real safe if you saw it first hand like I did Saturday. I could care less what people may think of this post, what I do care about is someone going through, and more so, losing a life. Good Luck if you venture out to Comet, say a prayer, and please be careful where you step! Try not to fish alone, bring a friend and a rope. Again, I am not trying to keep anyone away, just first hand observation from an experienced Icer. If you saw what I saw last Saturday, and not a person was on it Sunday too when I drove up again, there was a fisherman at the beach off 68, and a buddy of mine that lives in Hubbardston said that would be the safest place to fish in his opinion, and is an experienced Icer too. Again be safe and fish with a friend or near another person.
