My buddy got a nice walleye tonight 30"........ Fish was suspended at 10 foot in 30 foot of water.....we caught lots of smaller walleye but they shut down before dark.....

Got to love Robinson bay

I don't go down there much anymore. From Hawkins down through gets fished soooo hard.

I'm relatively new to ice fishing. i live Watertown area and we just had rain yesterday and was around 38 degrees. How much do you think it will affect the ice? Will the places that had about 5 inches of ice still be safe to go on?

Wasn't Robinson.  Put the spud through in several spots without much resistance.  Some ice good there and some not.

I would be aweful cautious.  Ice by me sucks now.....We got alot of rain.  I got to work in Watertown last night at five pm and left this morning at 700 and it rained the whole time.  Now add in the lake effect......Will be nasty ice.  Hopefully it all stays to the south.

Is there anywhere to get on the ice at Black Lake where you will not have to walk to far to a good fishing spot. This getting old sucks.

[BornOutside]

Anybody local by Paul smiths college?   I'll be ice fishing more that way at my camp, always looking for friendly people on the ice

Try looking on reports and conditions page, under black lake lots of information there. Rollaway bay is not far walk, to get on Fish.however there is a little hill to climb. I can't speak about ice conditions. Call Chapman's baitshop they can give you good Intel. 315 324 5265

thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.

Sorry to hear that man. My buddy broke off on his 80lb main line on a hook set yesterday!

[Teerod]

Fished eel bay today, definitely my best day of the season so far. 9" of ice where I was and the perch were hitting all day.  Brought home about twenty keeper perch over 13".  Jigged a Northern around noon he was just shy of 30". Fantastic day in the shanty.

[FISHFORPIKE]

Definitly sounds like a good day on the ice.

[Adkrs]

Got a limit of lakers and a whole mess of perch. Get out there folks...couple pics to follow. That perch took a 5" sucker...
 

[northernnyice]

Nice laker

[Loudmouth879]

nice fish

[FISHFORPIKE]

Any body been on Butterfield?  Or Millsite?  I've never fished those lakes - looking for a starting point "area" to target for Crappie or?

[Kobey]

Looks like we might be in for some better ice making weather.  Think the next week or so with temps below freezing will tighten things back up for the first weekend in February?

[MudBug01]

any ice reports for Hawkins point?

[eyehi]

I fished there a week ago and conditions were not the best....no way I would go near that place now after all that rain we got..... I imagine the current has done a number on the ice....
