It’s starting to get cold. Let’s hope we have a much better winter than last year. Get your stuff ready.

we might be good for this w/e. It dropped below freezing on Monday, so 5-6 days should be enough,,,then a warm up next week, ugh.

Hopefully we have some safe ice on Sunday, and the early ice spots are not overcrowded
-
Stay positive and stay below freezing
-
You bet, will be taking off early Friday to go and check some spots for ice thickness. Gotta get em while it's hot ( cold )
-
early ice spots will have 4-5" by saturday......this weekend is going to seperate the men from the boys with that NW blow...be safe and SPUD SPUD SPUD..no fish is worth your life
-
posted some satellite images from 1/17/24 in the reports section of early spots....some are locked some are not which is surprising....
-
I went to several spots today , as far as you can go in nj , 1 1/2” - 2” with some snow on it . Same places were open water on Sunday 1/14. All that rain & wind , not as thick as u would think .
-
was walking on water yesterday on a lake that usually has a uniform freeze....it was inconsistent with spots that were 1" right next to 3.5"....if you don't have a spud bar in your hand you are going to get wet this weekend...@$35 they are cheap insurance...todays snow will obscure any visual indicator....
this is what I have

Went and checked my local pond that normally freezes early... barely 3 inches Maybe if we get less snow it could be fishable come Sunday
-
Checked my local yesterday, had 4 inches. Heading out shortly. Just remember your boy scout poem
1" keep off
2" 1 may
3" small groups
4" OK.
Be safe guys.
