I heard through the grapevine that someone got a biggun at Mashapaug on Sat night. Maybe it's your turn next bugchazer. Good luck!

Nice to see, wasn't sure Id be able to get out at all this year, but some ice and my old body finally worked together.

I heard the big one was caught on Friday night, no?

I was there on Saturday from first light until about 2pm.  Not a flag to be seen in my spread, and no action on the jig either.  I marked a handful of fish that came up, gave a sniff and went back down, but no takers.  Groups on both sides of me were getting some slow action on walleye and bass.

We got a few trophy Eyes Thursday night then a 3man skunk Saturday

Hah, glad I wasn't the only one having a slow day.

Friday night there was a 29" walleye 9+ lber caught and released. I went out for a few hours Saturday night and Sunday afternoon until about 9 with nothing to show for it. Sunday night a guy coming off the ice said he got an 8lb walleye

Gotta keep searching for them, it’s just starting and that’s a good start to the season for those guys. Going to get a trip out soon. Good luck

Went out there tonight from 4:30-7:30 but didn't get anything. We stayed close to the launch and had 6-7" of ice. Parking lot was full. Got checked by 2 game wardens and they were nice. She said that they handed out 6 tickets earlier in the day. Remember to buy this years license before you head out and put your name on your tip ups.

Those ct wardens are sneaky. I will never put my name on my stuff just out of spite and they have tried to bag me before im even fishing.

A few years ago while fishing Stump Pond in Thompson I was issued a written warning for not having my name and address on my tilts. The warden told us he had been watching us for a half hour before I noticed him hiding behind a tree when I went over to the shoreline to take a leak. I went back the next day with return address labels stuck to my tilts. Never saw him again.

Completely ridiculous rule.

Been given a ticket for letting a companion that was jigging use my tip ups.  Even though he said that he was using them, my name was on them.  Said we had to cover my information and use his name and address.  On Candlewood. 
Officer lied and pressured the jigger to say he was only jigging bu threatening hin with $1,500 in fines.  The jigger is now blackballed and i make sure everything has my name and address.

Crime of the century LOL.

While I support LEO - especially GW' who short-handed have to cover so much ground, but this kind of ridiculous...

The name thing is pretty ridiculous when guys are standing there tending them. Shame on the game warden for ticketing it, absent some other violation requiring a perp to be identified. Like too many tipups, illegal bait, unattended tipups etc.

Because I try to follow the rules, I've been putting trap tags on my tipups for many years. Larry Finch 2-hole copper tags pop riveted or screwed to the base. Like fishon, I routinely loan tipups to guests, who I have put a mailing label on the flag. I have never covered my own information. None of the wardens have ever even looked. Hope this isn't some new push to enforce nonsense rules.

[eiderz]

I'm also curious which other states require name/address on tipups? Not in Maine, I don't think NY.

[pepperdawg]

Vermont always has required this.
