Managed to get out today for first time this year. Ice is sketchy still but a great work in progress. I managed 9 perch and dumped my only chance at a eye at the hole. Was a great Xmas. Hope everyone else enjoyed there's.

Spent a couple days in Ithaca, took this cool shot last night, lake effect ice crystals off Cayuga lake ... give em hell tomorrow boys, I'll be starting mid day tomorrow and fishin Friday, Saturday somewhere down there.

Just went outside and discovered another 2-3" of snow here in Cicero. Not that real light fluffy lake effect either.
hey snagger. good damn thing fillet won the picture contest before you took that.....wow what a fantastic pic
Hey Snagger,Did you happen to notice any significant concentrations of waterfowl in the Hogs Hole? And is the canal locked up? I'm guessing yes and yes, but it'd be great if you could confirm. Thanks.
I got out this morning for a little while before work. I picked my way out to 26' of water. I fished for an hour and picked up a limit of eyes and one short.I was off the north shore in Cleveland, not out of APPS though. The ice varied from 2" - 5" with a few spots where the spud went through in one shot and I had to work my way around. There is anywhere from 1" - 3" of snow on top so you cannot see where you are walking.If you got out PLEASE USE A SPUD AND SPUD EVERY STEP!First keeper of the year. I got to try out a new Christmas Present (cleaning table) and it worked great.
great job man, hey were those 2 inch spots in the bays or on the hard drop? just wondering if theres still current out there on the drops. or if its left over snow ice in the near shore area. thanks.
There was an area about 100 hundred yards inside the first drop that it got thin. It surprised me because it all looked like the same ice. I did some tip toeing really quick. Tried a couple times to get around it and then finally went along it for a hundred yards or so and the ice got better again. It is a real mix of stuff out there, some mostly white, some mostly black, some shove ice in spots. The water was pretty stained so I am assuming there is a decent current too.
