How did you do?

tipupman123 · « **Reply #4 on:** Mar 23, 2010, 04:34 PM »

i dont believe 20 inches. the whole states was in the 50' and 60's for about 4 days. some even saw 70. not to mention the 3-8 inches of rain we got

warwin125 · « **Reply #5 on:** Mar 23, 2010, 04:43 PM »

All the ice around me disappeared real quick the last 4 to 5 days. Saturday was almost 70!

warwin125 · « **Reply #8 on:** Mar 24, 2010, 09:12 AM »

YES it was

20 inches of ice last weekend? any info on any truth to this would be appreciated

warwin125 · « **Reply #10 on:** Mar 24, 2010, 12:03 PM »

This is not unheard of.Savoy,MASS is like a whole nother world up there.We've fished into april with safe ice before.

intocatchingbigbass · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 24, 2010, 12:21 PM »

good deal, any info on how to get there?

warwin125 · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 24, 2010, 02:08 PM »

It's part of the savoy state forest. You can get there off of rt 2 But to give you directions would be to hard it's in the middle of nowhere not that you can't find it I just don't the other names of the roads you need to take to get there off of rt 2 :tipup:I believe it's still fishable

Warren is not kidding. him and a lot of my friends went to Savoy state forest There is North pond bog pond south pond and Windsor pond. all have plenty of ice. Totally a diffrent world up there. Great spring ice fishing. Trout, pickerel, and bass. No big pike, but a lot of flags.

Just looked at Bog Pond on Google MAps. it is the only one in the area with ice still on it. this may not be a current photo but it is testament to it's ice holding prowess.

Were you by any chance fishing with Kevin, a bartender at the PNA, used to work for Big Y?

Don't doubt what some elevation can do for keeping the ice. Bog Pond has to be at or above 2000 feet in elevation.

Just got in from Bog Pond, I didnt believe over 20 inches of ice either, but he was correct, there is 25 inches of ice out there. we had a good day about 30-35 pickeral and a couple perch.

Uhh... the fish? lol

How was the size of the fish there. Were they all tiny or does it have some fatties? I am planning on going there next season at the end.

We should have a gathering there for the end of the season when theres no ice left around :-)

intocatchingbigbass · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 30, 2010, 10:25 AM »

the fish were decent size, about 10 of the fish we pulled out were 18-20 inches, mainly in the 10-14 inch range but the should plump up for next year

BudIce · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 30, 2010, 09:54 PM »

I'm jealous you guys are still icefishing:-)
I fished Mass. all last winter(2008-09) and had a blast. Now I'm back in Ohio and had a good winter with nice catches of walleye and slab crappie. My season ended March 9, probably could have pushed it a few more days but didn't want to chance it. I'm looking forward to next season already, fishing softwater just isn't as fun in my opinion, plus I don't have as much time with my work!

intocatchingbigbass · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 05, 2010, 03:19 PM »

was another good day at bog pond, there was still 17 inches of ice but i dont think its going to be good for another week, we may try to go one more time but im not sure i want to risk it, the edges were a bit hairy but we were able to walk right on, some areas were starting to open up

tipupman123 · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 05, 2010, 07:14 PM »

i would love to see some pics of this..what town is this in? 17 inches is ridiculous..there isnt that high of an elevation in MA that could hold that..how deep is the pond?

intocatchingbigbass · « **Reply #24 on:** Apr 06, 2010, 09:00 AM »

the pond is in the savoy state forest, its 2000 feet above sea level, the pond is relatively shallow, about 6 feet, im going to email someone the pics we took on easter and he is going to post them for me

FishingNewEngland · « **Reply #25 on:** Apr 06, 2010, 11:47 AM »

It's true.
They posted the same thing mid April last year. It is truly unbelievable

intocatchingbigbass · « **Reply #29 on:** Apr 07, 2010, 06:51 AM »

im willing to bet it could be fished again this weekend, if i lived closer to there i would go and try it, but im 2.5 hours away and thats alot of driving if i cant get on the ice
