I parked there the end of last year with no problem but haven't been this year. If not you can go to Midway or at worst along the road in Maple Springs.

Can someone answer where we are able to park in maple springs. I know their was an issue with that years back.

Is long point safe to fish yet? Wanted to go out over weekend.

There is actually no public access in maple springs.. its all private property, I should know cause I live 5 minites from there.. get to know the land owners and just ask, most of them dont care.. just respect it and normally there isnt any problems

Delmar is listed as second starting location for nys ice pro am. where is it? cant find it on a map for Chautauqua?

Was out today on Burtis - from eleven til two - all in all it was a pleasant day - guessing there was about forty fisherman on the ice - Tried out my new Ion auger - neat machine.
Guessing there is any where from seven to eight inches of ice. Surface yesterday required grips - today about two inches of snow made pulling a shelter a little harder but it was not bad. Did limit out with about half and half of smaller gills mixed in with slabs. Felt marvelous being out there. Most gills were caught with small jigs with wax worms... Good luck

fishinjohn · « **Reply #882 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 04:03 PM »

If there was 8" of good ice, im sure the ice will hold up "ok"
I planbon coming up monday morning as long as some good reports come in. Guys, dont forget to check the conditions page as well as this thread

icenut_ · « **Reply #883 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 04:30 PM »

cant seem to find out a whole lot about the ice tourney.can I register the morning of the tourney?how to they judge the fish?the longest,the heaviest,the most weight any help would be appreciated.

icenut_ · « **Reply #884 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 04:33 PM »

is there anyone I can call and talk to about the tourney? I have a lot of questions about it?

brokeinNYS · « **Reply #885 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 06:19 PM »

Was out on Burtis today about four hours and caught three fish - day before i limited out on gills guessing the south east wind had something to do with it - appears Wednesday the lake water may harden up with colder weather predicted, so i may sit back and hope all gets firm once again. At present in areas there are as much as two inches of water but it seems to be flowing back down through open holes in the ice. Also ice cleats to me are a must till we get some snow back on top..

Chuck-the answers to all your questions are on nysiceproam.com

You can also email the tourney director, he'll get back to you pretty quick.

Postletown · « **Reply #891 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 10:03 AM »

I am looking to hit Mayville or Burtis Tuesday evening, any reports on the shore ice would be appreciated! I am hoping it will hold up even with these temps above freezing the next 24-36 hours. Thanks!

does anyone fish Ashville bay for gills

trebblehook · « **Reply #894 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 06:40 PM »

a buddy of mine has a cottage down that way...I'll ask him if he knows of anybody who fishes Ashville!

nateG · « **Reply #895 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 07:33 PM »

I guess the biggest issue with asheville bay is access. Smith boys and all private land...i

fishfry95 · « **Reply #896 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 07:49 PM »

What about ashville marina they let you fish there in the spring

STEALTH MODE · « **Reply #897 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 08:10 PM »

tbromund · « **Reply #898 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 10:52 PM »

I usually fish out of Mayville, but haven't been down yet this year. Is the usual 6-8" of slush on top of the ice right now?

Thanks,

Tim

Postletown · « **Reply #899 on:** Jan 14, 2014, 06:23 AM »

I am also looking for an ice report on Mayville, want to go tonight, but the weather has not been cooperating, I will probably have to wait until the weekend
