I just checked in today at 12:45 and there is no new posts since yesterday. I just thought I would start this thread so those of use who just have to do it can just keep this going. I guess we should give an ice report so the mod's don't think we are just trying to boost our posts. There is no new ice to report here in central PA YET but it's coming

lol id definitly take your life vest out in western ny and ice pics are pretty much useless and tip ups work good in a hemeroid tube

Weatherman is calling for 29° tonight. Won't be long now!

We still have 27 inches of solid ice at my favorite high elevation lake. Every year it seems like I'm the first one on here and the last one off. Its tough when I could fish on ice over 8 months a year and people come and go so quick here. They start talking about ice off in March. Must be depressing. Condolences also go out to some of my fellow countrymen in other provinces that still have lots of good ice and the season closed over a week ago (due to gov't regulations). Life sucks for you fellas.

Terry, your one lucky fellow.

Yeah I count my icicles everyday

MeadowPikeman · « **Reply #6 on:** Apr 11, 2005, 10:14 PM »

went icefishing on saturday was probably 34" inches of ice or so, was my last time out probably but nailed them caught 50 or so trout. season closes in the northern zone on the 15th.

Like I said earlier Meadowpikeman, condolences. You will probably have ice till mid-late May and you get shut down in a few days. That sucks.

my ice report is i can fish snow lake until the end of the month wearing a t-shirt thick ice takes time to melt

C.C. · « **Reply #9 on:** Apr 12, 2005, 06:02 AM »

My daily report is no new ice over night but calling for temp's to drop into the low 30's tonight. I think next year I'll have to go see Terry in April so I can prolong the agony a little longer

was at harwood lake the other day and it had a small section with about 1/4" of ice but i for got my auger so i didnt fish that section

we have overnight lows in the mid 20's and hope to hear the lake making some more ice but the ny opener for pike and walleye opens in 3+ weeks then only about 7 1/2 months till ice fishing again

The only ice im gonna see for awhile is floating in a glass surrounded by crown and coke.

I hear ya Terry we closed on march 30 this year and the lake is still got good ice on it up in the ducks we can ice fish untill it is unsafe and we are heading to Clearwater lake up north on thursday for 4 days of Laker fishin..

I cant wait, I have some hooks I made that I cant wait to try, I think there gonna be killer for lakers. For the most part we will be using 4" Tubes or 1/2 -1 oz Bucktails. I will be sure to post the pics of the big one...Rod

I like the swizzel stick idea Arch dut maybe Stump could buy a block of ice and when he need's to cool a beverage down he could just get his auger out and shave a little up. That would be a good way to keep in shape.

rock bottom good to hear youre headed up to clearwater, would like to head up that way there or apthapap but wasn't in the cards for this year, so maybe next year, let us now how you make out.

Rock Bottom · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 12, 2005, 12:02 PM »

yeah Athapap is really good in the summer, im not sure about the winter though. Clearwater is great during mid to end of aprill I am right pumped about it I will for sure be posting some pics up as soon as i get back...

heymax · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 12, 2005, 03:03 PM »

Plenty of ice here in my Deep Freeze

I just had a tray of Cubes set up in less than two hours

It's snowing here in Maine which means winter is on the way

. I've been hanging out in the Maine room but I will check here everyday just to make sure it's alive. I've got a lot to do this summer but I love Ice Fishing too much to forget this place. Keep Cool......Max

MeadowPikeman · « **Reply #19 on:** Apr 12, 2005, 03:58 PM »

Rock Bottom haven't fished athapap a lot in the winter but it can be pretty good. This year I heard moblilty was a huge problem as was unsafe ice. The guy from flin flon we sometimes go with has caught some true monsters out of athapap, his best on the hardwater is a 38 lber, topped buy a 46 in open water.

MeadowPikeman · « **Reply #21 on:** Apr 12, 2005, 06:39 PM »

still got a good two feet here in most places, seasons closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe should go up north one last day?

?

TGF · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 12, 2005, 07:12 PM »

Sounds like you should move off the flats meadowpikeman out to the mountains here in BC. No regulations keep us off most areas, just the rivers. When the ice is done, so am I.

trapperdirk · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 13, 2005, 12:36 PM »

Well I'm still hanging in there too Terry and am still on 20 inches plus of ice but with some of the warm days we have been having the shores are opening . Last year I still had truck on ice on April 25th but if I'm lucky I will still be able to walk on this year at that time . Definately getting a mean tan though .
