Ice Update

Went by Wilsons Reservoir Pascoag at 8am after the show and 5 fishers were out in the middle, not the Broulhard Lane Cove I also took a swing up to Wakefield Pond and it was deserted. There was tire tracks in the boat ramp area where vehicles had been parked earlier in the week. I have seen a lot of reports and photos from Conn. Nh and Maine on good solid 5 inches or more. Two of the coves on Webster Lake, Aunt Marys and near the ski jump looked solid. Be careful and fish with a friend and your Ice Picks and rope. Wayne

Saw a couple guys on Browning Mills pond this afternoon when I took my Brittany over for a quick workout.
Edges were soft. I don't know how they had done as I did not go out to ask although they were close to the shoreline.

I checked local ice today and its stil 4-5 inches thick give or take up in my area, although as the day went on the ice bit slushy, water started pooling on the surface and the edges got soft. I really wanted to hit my local bass pond today but I didn't want to risk it. I will just wait until midweek when the ice hardens up and I feel safe. Also one thing I forgot to add is I mad it out today on a small pond with no success. Stay safe guys, and IMO, u shouldn't go on the ice tomorrow but that's your decision and if you do please be cautious and stay safe. I really hope the ice stays around til this warm spell ends.

Was out on local ice Thursday all day on 5 inches of ice, same pond today all day and it was down to 4 inches with some slush on top. Did manage a bunch of bass today between 2 and 4 lbs and one big pickeral that wound up biting my thumb pretty good.

Not willing to risk it tomorrow- Friday for sure. Keeping my fingers crossed for good ice so that the Gridiron and Between the Cracks tourneys actually happen this year (unlike the last 2 seasons!). Two great tourneys for two awesome causes!

This sucks. I keep hearing reports of 4+ inches of ice in ri but where I am we usually have early ice and we had a good 5-6 inches of ice Friday, but now it is almost completely gone.

I agree. Last year sucked "the big one" here in RI on some of the bigger waters! It was tough to plan trips out to the ice.
