Thought I would bump this again to see if anyone has ventured out yet today. Still snowing hard by the lake in Irondequoit this morning. Hoping somehow Sodus is not as bad.
Thanks for the update. Hoping to head over tomorrow AM. Maybe a few trails out get blazed today.
I feel that is a safe assumption. However, exercise caution if you go out. The snow is hiding pressure cracks.Heard of a few guys going for a cold swim off the south end attempting to cross a pressure crack.
good all OK where was this on south end?
Is anyone using machines out of third creek? I have heard the ice is 5 inches thick.
Thanks. I'll check it out on foot tomorrow.
today 12;30 there were two fishermen that fell through and rescued at Brisco cove, third creek areathanks to the Sodus Point , Alton for the BRAVE !!! firemen BECAREFUL !!!!
Amen, just came off rescue said they are okay. It's a notorious spot in a good ice conditions there
Just wanted to say that I’m glad the gentleman that fell thru is ok. But a correction to snow snakes comment, there was one man that fell thru over in the area of Newark and eagle islands coming from the third creek area. As stated many times before THERE IS/WAS OPEN WATER TO THE WEST OF EAGLE ISLAND AND SOUTH OF NEWARK ISLAND. THERE IS BREAK/SHOVE ICE FROM THORNTON POINT TO NEWARK ISLAND THE BAY IS NOT SAFE TO JUST GO OFF WILLY NILLY. please every one let this lucky end situation remind us to be humble and pay attention. I found a lot of slush from the south end up to Bonnie castle about 8/9” total ice when I stopped even with Nicholas pt, 6 was good 3 was crap ice as I went further north the ice thickness and quality went away fast. In about 200 yds it was down to 6” total and 2 were good 4 was crap, and yes as most prolly saw there is a slush pocket in center of the ice layers.Be careful the bite is off right now at the moment so maybe stay home for a few days. Good luck all be safe
Yeah the ice was definitely sketchy in spots out in front of 3rd creek where we were saw more 4 wheelers than I thought should be out there. Thank god that father and his kid are ok.
Now that today's events are over, and all are safe. Think about this..its reported that the man was in the water 20 minutes. 20 minutes to drop what your doing, race to the air boat, suit up, and head out to the scene. Carefully navigating away from the many other fishermen so not to jeopardise their safety. And make the rescue ....all in 20 minutes. How fortunate we are as fishermen to know those Hero's are there. Especially with declining numbers of volunteers all over the state fire departments. Thanks from all us sometimes not so smart fishermen !!!That being said that crust will be softening to slush with tomorrow's warm temps. Use exstreme caution.
No way should anyone UNFAMILIAR with current conditions be out riding a machine around Sodus Bay unless you have a death wish …..PERIOD !! I saw way too many out there Sunday
Preach!!!!I wouldn't even recommend machines to seasoned guys that are familiar. People keep forgetting how inconsistent the ice is.It is no where near uniform.
