Tomorrow will be my first day on Sandy pond any tips for a newbie like me

stay away from big holes, there were quite a few large holes out there the other day, some big enough for a human to fall in.  get a spud, stop at woodies bait store they have them for sale, big bar, with a chisel on the end, and make sure the ice is thick enough to walk on. You may want to access from the elms golf course on rt. 3, or the wigwam, at the south end of the pond, each is 5 dollar parkling fee.  there is a state launch on rt. 3 on Stanley drive, but a creek runs into the pond right there, and as much melt as we have gotten it may not be to stable. Just my opinion....

yeah there is a whole thread about trash in the forums somewhere.  take an extra garbage bag with you when you go out and pick up what you can.  Unfortunately there is no cure for scumbags at the moment... on another note, how did you do? how was the ice holding up??

gonna try to get out tomorrow and see what the deal is, hopefully it holds up, if not there is still plenty of ice up north I guess.

Nice day. I will admit the pucker factor for me was a bit high. Might need a couple extra beers to calm me down.  ;) That being said got 37 really nice perch. Heard some guys to the North of me having a Real Good time. My farewell tour to The Pond. Late start ,my bad  :(. Ice thickness was great i had 8-10" just the walk that scared the S--- out of me. Nice day Im glad I went.

Me and my wife went out today, ma6be 3 hours,  came out wit( 25. Lost a brand new jig rod and reel combo wasn’t paying attention looked over and my dangler stand was flipped over and the rod gone!  It was a little sketchy, found a couple gas hole thin ice spots, but most of it was nice thick black ice. Definately would not suggest venturing out in the dark.  Most of the ones I caught wer ten inches, sifted through a ton of dinks got 3 or 4 12 or better.  Went through a ton of Minnows, if it’s not raining too hard maybe I will hit it again tomorrow

Yo Tom,

 Let's find out bud. I will get the Otter "STEALTH" out and we can park right over the top of the Homey hole when the ice clears out.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 In fact TommyBoy, I am getting ready for my annual trip up to Kring's Point . Just waiting for "ice out" reports. I guess it's time to switch my efforts to the MyFishFinder site.
