This might happen if it stays cold. Might be time for Ohio trip.

Pipe dream this year, hate to say it.
If you go to Ohio can you drop off all the guys from PA that have been fishing up here?

Checked off waterworks today was 3 whacks and through id say 1.5 to 2 inches some areas on the popcorn shoves were 3 inches.  Wasn't out to far maybe 100 yards.

Went to chatauqua today and took route 5 along Erie all the way from Silver Creek to Westfield. Pretty much open. What happened to almost 80 percent frozen. We must have the open 20.

East wind.  That 20 percent was all open 34 degree water off Dunkirk.  Ice blew into it and melted.  Oh well

When there is a NE or E wind (like today) the NY side opens up when the ice is thin.  Ice gets pushed toward Canada, that is why we need thicker ice and don't go out when there is a NE or E wind.

Still 77.5% covered but locking up the middle is always a challenge.
