Will be interested to hear how u make out up there .... Keep us posted ....

wishinfishin · « **Reply #2821 on:** Feb 14, 2018, 04:46 PM »

If I make it there I will, looking a little iffy with work, but wanted to go to the Pike challenge the 24th as well hope the weather is good. It was cancelled last two years in a row because of unsafe ice.

Conditions are much better this year .... Louisville fire department has taken over running the tournament from the walleye association ..... Looks to be the same format as past years ....

Hi I m coming to ny through Champlain border n want to fish lake Champlain bays this Saturday. My fishing buddy is busy on work. I want a small advice where I can safely park my car n walk from shore or I can join anyone for that day. This is my first time I m fishing N.Y. side

Extended forecast is looking pretty warm for ice folks. Looking like an early spring

wishinfishin · « **Reply #2825 on:** Feb 16, 2018, 10:45 AM »

Anybody wanna speculate on what next weeks weather may do to the ice around the Waddington Massena area

I know its warming up but the bigger problem is mid week almost 2" of rain spread out over three days . I'm not sure how much ice is there now or if it will affect the pike challenge next weekend.
Thanks in advance.

Wind chill does not affect ice growth like it does our skin. Whatever the air temp is, thats what we are working with. But your right theres lots of ice and it will be safe for quite a while.

Wind will cause ice to freeze, or grow, at a faster rate; given air temps below freezing. It removes the heat at a quicker rate. Does not change the freezing point or temperature, but will speed the ice development by taking away heat at a faster rate. Lots of research out there on that.

Didnt argue that Phil. My only point, "wind chill" is a human factor. If the wind chill is -20 but the air temp is 15*, wind may help get theice surface temp down to 15* faster, but once there. Thats it.. its still just gonna be 15*, just not to our skin..

fish for pike is 100% correct this is why you blow on food before you put it in your mouth ..... wind chill will also cause fuel to jell faster in a fuel tank ...it won't make the actual temp lower it just cools the surrounding mass to actual temp faster ...... on open water a wind blowing over water will cause it to cool below actual temp ,this is from evaporation..... you also have what is called venturi effect that's what causes icing in carbutators even in the summer time

Not an arguement - just an explanation. I like ice, without the windchill - that I can "feel".

Weather this week - ain't looking great. Got a ways to go though.

Nice catch man .... Not sure where you were fishing but I was on White House bay today and the conditions are heading downhill fast .... Not looking very good for the rest of the week either ...

northernnyice · « **Reply #2835 on:** Feb 21, 2018, 08:47 AM »

Anyone fishing today? It sure is a cold one out there..

northernnyice · « **Reply #2836 on:** Feb 21, 2018, 11:23 AM »

Anyone preparing for the derby, take note, they have dropped the water and it has affected a lot of the bays, around Waddington/Coles Creek are gonna be really tough to get on/off with a machine, or in general.. its a few feet drop from the bank down and its glare ice.. if you can, go and scout before derby day so you know how to tackle it.

the pike hunter · « **Reply #2837 on:** Feb 21, 2018, 06:35 PM »

I was wondering if anyone could give me an ice condition update on cranberry lake for friday, sat and sunday. I have a trip planned to go pike fishing with some buddies, we were planning on going right off the public beach, thank you any info is greatly appreciated, it is a 3.5 hour drive for me.

blackmer826 · « **Reply #2838 on:** Feb 21, 2018, 07:15 PM »

Going there tomorrow, will give an update.

Good advise hear, not sure why the water is down so much this year ..... They advertised the derby on the channel 7 news last night so it looks like they are preparing to have the event ....

Website for derby confirms it is on.

I just saw this as well .... time to go check some spots and get bait .... interested to see what the edges will look like ....

New Old Guy · « **Reply #2842 on:** Feb 22, 2018, 05:23 AM »

Yo Phil,

Thanks for the invite my friend. I am house bound for the foreseeable future. I had hoped to get up there with you one more time before "Ice out". I will be reading your reports till then.

Does anyone know where the best access is to get on Goose Bay just north of Alex bay? Fished there in the spring from Kringle point state park.

pikie · « **Reply #2847 on:** Feb 23, 2018, 10:51 AM »

Off Rt 12, just north east of Alex Bay, there used to be a big sign saying Goose bay. There is a boat launch and parking there. Its called Goose Bay Road.

FISHFORPIKE · « **Reply #2848 on:** Feb 23, 2018, 02:52 PM »

Yep - just off Rt.12 Drive to the ramp to unload then park in the lot.

eyehi · « **Reply #2849 on:** Feb 23, 2018, 03:39 PM »

Nice weather forecast for the derby tomorrow ..... Lots of standing water on the edges of most places .... Coles creek looked the worst and the water is real low in most spots .... Good luck to all
