I'm sitting here tying jigs for open water ,I didn't hear it but the fat lady must have sung

[Garufi518]

She may not be singing but she’s warming up....sounds like crap tho

[trapper2000]

yup looks like it's over  where I live

[62&done]

It's over. I'm heart broken because I wanted a few more days to add to what has been stellar season, but it's over

[Ice Wine]

Guys were out on a high altitude, 2000 ft., lake in Sullivan County yesterday. Private lake, that I can't fish, but there is still ice out there. Although this blizzard might do us in.

You didn't hear her because she is buried in snow!

[trapper2000]

You didn't hear her because she is buried in snow!

So very true

Yo Guys & Gals,

 The glorious end to a great ice fishing season for me is usually "ice out" at Goose Bay.  On a trip up to Kring's Point with my bud Hacket to check out his camp on Thursday I can tell you there is still a lot of ice on the Bay. There is some open water and break ice floating between the rocks and Lone pine island, but there is still a lot of ice blocking the entry into the channel from the river side yet.  We did just happen to have a couple of long poles in the car in case there was some open water. . We fished for about an hour or so. and kept 15 perch.

I'm not sure how much snow they got up there the last 2 days. If anything like what we got here in the Fulton/Mexico area it will put a lot of weight on that remaining ice . I will be making regular trips up to see for myself as  Fishforpike is trying to keep all the good fishing spots to himself.

 Post Script; I would be remiss were I not to disclose Hacket took me to school and caught 11 perch to my 4 perch in the brief time we wet our lines.

There were freshies cutting redds on a WNY trib the day before the storm.  I think at least some of them ran under the ice with all these up and down temperatures in January-February!   A couple of suckers caught, too, really early for them!

[just1moredad]

Not only is it over,salt thrown in the wound too.A trio of individuals got caught red handed by an ECO sixty-nine fish over the limit on the local lake.They got a few in the hole as officer 'greeted' them. He was able to return the live ones through the ice.                               
 Folks might think its a good place to fish, wanting to know what they used for bait.Limit is five per day.  Last ice.

We got about three inches.  I live five minutes from goose bay and we have a cottage there as well.  I wouldn't trust the ice tho...it was very warm here last week and the ice looked really bad.

What are you tying for jigs?  I usually do a bunch of bucktails up for eyes.  We use them alot on the st Lawrence.

[trapper2000]

Hey trapper. How about some mop jigs to add to the collection?
