Well, there’s plenty of open water in Pike county right now. Just let me know where and when, and we can discuss this in person!

Hey Rutt you think prompton still safe thinking of heading their tomorrow morning. A/P 

[chapru]

Yeah, took a ride to Promised Land this morning. Wishful thinking; half open with white caps blowing. Just got done putting my stuff away.

Did you check Snow Shanty?

[Spider1]

took a ride up to Hamlin after work today. Most water I saw was open or looked sick. Yep, gotta pull the kayak out and clean her up. I don't think much will be good this weekend. But of course, we will see.

[icehound67]

I was on shanty on Saturday, had about 3”, doubt it’s any good now

[chapru]

I didn’t get out and check Rutt, just drove by slow. There was open water out by the island and I could see some water along the shoreline. The ice had that crappy grey look to it.

[RuttNutt]

Yeah, that doesn’t sound good..........

[Ice_Surveyor]

Guys the weather is all my fault. I bought a nice flasher, bibs, all the stuff to really get into ice fishing seriously....and then no ice. Apologies.

[Spider1]

see that! I knew it was someones fault!

LOL! 😁. I’ll take partial blame too..............I bought this nice 6 man hub this year and only got to use it once! 🙄

[pabassman]

 Keep the Faith!!

[RuttNutt]

Be careful PaBassman............. ..or you’ll be accused of “trying to get people to fish!” 

[pabassman]

 Not me my friend. I dont want anybody to fish. Stay off..... Leave it for me and my buddies LOL  . After the 2021 debacle about Slocum on this site I wont post reports or pics. So everybody please stay off the ice

The year of the shadow ban.  lol

[chapru]

Hey, I want a share of the blame as well. Tired of hand drilling the small stuff so I just went out and bought a new Kobalt 24v, a Kocacs adapter, and attached it to a 6” Mora base. Couldn’t wait to try it. Only place it ran was in my garage

What happen to your weather outlooks? I’ll be going north for lakers and pike maybe next season

[hardwaterhonkey]

Couple nights in the high teens will be funny will solidify the ice im on and just give you a glimpse of what this ice season one barely skimmed after it’s all thawed and too frozen to cast hahahaha

[PaCarpboy]

I posted this in the winter scenes section but wanted to get your interpretation of the clouds.   Something is happening when you look at all three.  Natural.....or other??

[Steidyj]

Hey CarpBoy,
When I see clouds like that in winter (cold winter), I imagine they come from some open body of water where evaporation is happening. Something like a stream/creak, or also some industrial evaporation. Could even be a warm section of forest that is creating water vapor. A place where moist hot air is being released and small puffs of clouds are forming. When I see them the sun normally burns them off a couple of hours later or the wind pulls them apart. Could totally be off track, interested to hear others opinions.
I wish I saw clouds like that over a frozen lake this year  maybe we will have ice fishing for march!
Best,
Jake

[PaCarpboy]

Thanks Jake.  Very technical.  I'd like to hear what others think of the way those three clouds are positioned as if something is emerging.....

[RuttNutt]

I’m just saying...............a ny time you want to discuss things face to face just let me know! 😉

[WARRIOR_ON_ICE]

PA is caught in that netherland of not quite the north, and not quite the south. That is probably why the biggest battle of the Civil War happened in Gettysburg..........   

I lived the first 31 years of my life in the foothills of the Adirondacks, and never missed out on starting ice fishing before January 1, and could reliably fish somewhere close until at least mid March every year. Now that I live 2 hours south of Albany, it makes a huge difference. There is not much worth ice fishing around here anyway, but regardless there is not safe ice on even small waters in southeastern NY in most years. I drive 4 hours north to do 98% of my ice fishing overall, all of it in years such as this one.
