We need some cold weather. I will be fishing 12-19-11.You wont be the only one out there. save me and fishhead a spot man ;D ;D ;D How have you been ???
Been good. Getting some venison to grill up on the ice. Looking forward to doing some fishing this winter. You guys will have to do some night fishing with me for crappies.
Man I finally got the setup to were i can bring my ATV and talked the wife into letting me take it. The more and more I hear about people sinking theres I wonder if it's a smart idea
Hey Guys Just wanted to say Hello and I am still alive lol! Hey skipper you and I gotta get out together this year to put a hurtin on them as soon as hunting season is over...Nice buck man !!!!!!!

Stay away from the Island with your machines and you will have no problems!Yes stay away from the island I have seen lots of machines go through the ice there. Yes fishtank we should get out there after the freezers are full and ice is hard. My little guy is looking forward to another trophy at your tournament!
Fish Tank, Nice buck. What did he dress out? Did you save the mount? Every one who may not know Tank, the guy is about 6'-6 or better. That should give you a perspective on what a nice buck that is. You will be binging a couple of briskets out on the ice for grilling eh?
Can't believe the Pond has been relegated back to the fourth page. It has been intersting to read a lot of the threads on the usual items, what gps? what fish finder? what shanty manufaturer? or the north country thread, which has proved most edifying.
I am insulating the Boggey box for this years adventures and using that 5/8 foil faced product. Hope it holds up. I am glueing it directly to the interior of the sheet metal. Also, last years flaw was the three trap doors I cut in the floor between the two skiis left me exposed to the wind blowing in from underneath and defeating the Mr. Heater. It wasn't a problem if there was enough snow to bank the ends of the shanty, but the windy days would blow the ice clean and leave me exposed again., I devised a cure this year. I have made up 12 X12 well enclosures to slip through the floor to the ice. Hope to tighten things up this year. I think I am getting it set up for some of that night fishing you have been telling me about pondskipper.
Forgot to tell you capthook88 and I are going to build a shanty also.gps coordinates please when in place ;D
He is replacing the carburetor. Found one on craigslist. Can't have an undependable machine on the ice. What size is the shanty going to be? I've got some jealousy windows if you want them. I also have some down hill skiis if you need them for runners.5' wide by 8' long. We are still in the planning process.
gps coordinates please when in place ;DIm in the process of selling my gps markers. bidding starts at $50.00 or I will take a beer!
That is the problem when you have a shanty. Everyone knows where your honey hole is. Uou will have to learn how to misdirect them.Jim, I hope you got my message on the answering machine and I will be bringin some stuff up to camp this weekend FOR SURE ! Hope to see you up there it will be sunday morning as I have to finish my job on Sat . but hope to have enough backer board and thinset for the bathroom floor ;D Ps I took Harold up a few weeks back and we walked out back to the golden rod field . Didnt see any deer but did find a bit of sign . Got some new stuff commin from the Mrs. for Xmas that will give us a edge for the king of the pond ;D Lisa says hello handsome ;)
Boys, I'm starting to get the itch. I have about a week and a half left of work for the year and then my attention goes to those tasty little guys under the ice. Cant wait to get back on the ice with all of you especially yoda I mean Boggey. On a off note anybody have any suggestions for a light one man. I'm really getting sick of lugging out the heavy two man by myself.ya buy a new one like i did and get rid of the boat anchor 2 man :) ;D

I'm really getting sick of lugging out the heavy two man by myself.I have a scout. It's a clam one man. I love it. It's got the sliding seat and pulls easy. Are any of you guys going to gander ice show Saturday? I will be there early. Hope to see you guys there.
Drowndin Dots, Cuzz and I are going to give it one real good day today, neither of us have any venison in the larder yet. And a side note to Pondskipper, that 17th start date is not looking good after checking out the forcast for the next week, however it can be done. 4 nights of 20 or below with temps below 30 in the daylight hours could get us there, but would not bet the house on it at this moment.I will be on the ice the 19th. The cold weather is coming boys. The temps are going to be in the twenties at night. Here we go!!!!! :icefish: :icefish:
I love you're positive thinking ;D

Cusefan I went with a few other people thoughts and got the Kenai, I love everything but the seat. I replaced mine with a boat seat. Easy to pull and more than enought spacetake a picture of what you did with your seat please. i want to do something with mine also because it did not come with a back rest. that was the only thing i did not like about it but planned to modify something ;D

If you hit the perch like me and you did that day last year you will be doing nothing but bragging. that was an awesome day we had ;D @)That was a good day. I wonder if this warm weather will help us or hurt us. I say this because I remember a while back we had a warm start and later that season the fishing was some of the best i ever seen.
Well HT and Fishead will be partnering up...I gotta find a partner. Bcons maybe? We knows all the good gas holes to fish ::)you mean like this picture of him crawling over to a gas hole to release a bass :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo:

Fishing and being partners with the "Wooden Pickle"? I saw those pics last yr of what he does with perch while I'm busy catching real fish. ::) ::) Then the next question Chief would I have to wear pickle attire or 3" heels?man i hope he changed his apparel ::) ::) ::) ;D
JK, junior. You do ok, especially after dealing with FH in person. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) WHATEVER I'M ______________________ ___ :P :P
man i hope he changed his apparel ::) ::) ::) ;D. .....nope I haven't. I want to get an ice armour suit. I am gunna sell one of my guitars so I can get one. I am gunna be a wooden pickle probably the first part of the season then hopefully I'll be wearing one of those 400 dollar floating suits the second part of the season.

Got to see a couple of you guys at Gander yesterday, but missed everyone who left early. Fish Mechanic told me I missed Goon and DD by a couple of minutes. I tried getting some more sponsors for the 2 man tourny, now that's a trick, trying to get something from someone who is trying to sell you something. The only one who coughed up anything was Tony who promised a couple of his Plastics starter kits, thanks Tony . I did buy one of those Nimrod attachments for my new 20 volt hand drill. I fished with Turk and Drowndin dots last year and they were drilling holes all over the place with theirs. Turk said he could get (30) 4" holes from one battery pack. That sure was a lot lighter than carrying around my 80 pound electric. The only thing I give up is the 8" hole. I don't think It will drive as many holes with the 6" mora on it though. Oh, I forgot to mention the mechanic coughed up a couple of oil and lube jobs for the tourny, Thanks bud. Besides the money prizes the boys from PA are going to have an impressive list of contributors and co-sponsors. Eddy and I are going to take first prize but second and third are still open to you other guys. Chris and Vince think they are going to come up from PA and win their own tournament, ha ha ha.Too bad I missed ya , Shoulda called bud . And no it will not drill as many with the 6 inch screw but it will still do quite a few as long as the batterys are kept warm and the blades sharp ;D

Thanks for the feed back and the math Mike. I have an old 5" hand auger, sounds like a minimal trade off, Will def get new blades. I still haven't found anyone who can do a good job sharpening them, I must have 4 or 5 old sets of blades. I don't throw anything away.

Pretty sure they do blades.
Thanks prchslyer, I will check. Mike, besides the IS title, I strongly suspect you were an addict from day one. Congrats.
Looking forward to hitting the pond again this season. Last year I made my first trip and hammered te perch big and small. My fishing partner couldn't walk away from his tip up, it was comical.Hey Mike, capthook88 and I are going to make a trip out to chautaqua this year. Do you fish there much.
Catchemall, I don't think your blood has thickened enough yet from that trip to Florida. You may have to triple up on the thermals your first week out. :roflmao:
Hey Mike, capthook88 and I are going to make a trip out to chautaqua this year. Do you fish there much.There is no mike here only Justin Ha. I have only fished the pond a few times but I feel I have a decent grasp on the pond.

ohhhh boy, me thinks some pond regulars might disagree, or show you something else you might wanna grasp shorta the pond. ::) ::) ::) JK bro, one of my boys wants to go to Ranger School, so you're one of the ones I'll be hitting up for info in the near future.

Yeah I think I might know a little bit about sandypond. I will have To see if I remember how to fish it again this year!! :whistle:
Same here!Sorry forgot to add that ::)
He's not the only RS grad on here. ;DI know & remember adkroy! My boy is NUTZ! I have to yell at him when fishing or or it's too cold uhhhh you're hands are red & lips are blue time to come in. I get the "not yet I'm still figuring this out" for him RS should be not much more than summer camp with a grade. He loves this stuff. Last spring we only missed the open house because of the washed out roads & bridges during the crazy melt, otherwise what he wanted for his b-day was fishing & a trip up there. b-day of 4-28.......Now he's a jr. in high school I'm sure I'll be hitting y'all up for info.

Hey Mike, capthook88 and I are going to make a trip out to chautaqua this year. Do you fish there much.
I do not fish Chautaugua-I usually stay within 50 miles of Rochester. People I meet say the perch that they catch there are typically smaller than around here so I never got too interested. Plus I mainly walk and typically less than a 1/4 mile (old school and old!!). That being said, I'm sure there are guys in the know that get into bigger perch there and walleyes/crappies too but I'm happy with my little 1/2 day outings as long as fishing stays interesting around here. Sodus Bay is probably as good as anything around here but I don't even make it that far from home lately. Love to read about all your guy's exploits though-cya....Ok thanks
But ADKRoy is on his quest for the smallest fish ::) Boggey, I will have to come up a few weeks before to find your honey hole on the pond.
Yo Pondskipper, I'm with you on that, can't wait myself. Hey, ADK and Ranger bound, you two ought to team up and show us lakelanders how to fish the pond. We got a 2 man tournament scheduled for the 4th of Feb. Come up Friday night and preregister at the Steak house and impart some of your knowledge to us shut ins . We seldom get out other than sit on our buckets and fish the pond. I think I hear a challenge here. Can't blame you if you don't come. Drowndin Dots and I have first place all tied up. Pondskipper and the Capn are most likely to take second. I don't know who HT is chumming up with. This not to mention, Chris, Vince and the cadre of PA anglers coming up to strut their stuff.
Well If Bcons decides he doesnt want me as his partner Im inAlready trying to jump ship there jr.?
Geese Jim are you having a senior moment today or what ??? ??? you dont know who i will be fishing with ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) i already told bcons to mail me and Fishhead the check :PPlease , you wont even quit fishin long enough to weigh in :P :P :P

Yeah sure you & fishface have as much chance of winning as someone truly getting the "check in the mail" ::) ::) ::) It's too bad you can't spend those text messages, if they were worth money you'd be retired living the "high life" or is it the Busch life? I know you don't like miller.hail to the mighty "BACON GREASE" :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: You and the transformer in a ice shanty together ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)omg what a pair that will be ::) ::) bring it on ;D
This might sound dum... but I think if we are doing this team tourny our teams should have names. Capthook88 and my self will be none as "TEAM FISH MEAT".ok then we will call ourselves" good luck next year guys" :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :woot: :afro:
dont even start ::) ::) ::) you will be shaking at what you find under those cans bro :P
How about all of my fish are under Bush cans :o :o :o :o >:D
Whats shakin' bacon? We teaming up or what
dont even start ::) ::) ::) you will be shaking at what you find under those cans bro :P
As long as you don't EVER ask me again "What's shakin'..... If I got it & it's shaking you better not ask about it Jr. :P :P :P :P :P :P Just cause you can fish doesn't get ya that much,"ICESHANTY MATCH.COM" :P :P :P :P :o :o :o :o :o ??? ;D
Idk man, after seeing him in that text with the pig mask on... ???How'd you see the guy with the pig mask when he was behind you Jr.?

THIS NO ICE THING IS MAKING US ALL NUTS ???Really what's the date?????????????? I was on lakeview this time last yr :%$#!: :%$#!: :%$#!: :%$#!: :%$#!: Still remember falling through on the pond, just to get wet & drive up the road to drill 3" there.

Speaking for myself of course, you are always welcome an any thread I am on FM. Pondskipper doesn't have any prequalifiers either I am sure. While he and I both try to keep things close to the pond we do go far and wide at this time of year(no ice). Pond skipper, HT , The Sandy Ponders tried to talk The Eastern PA deaf Anglers Association into changing the format of their annual Tournament to a 2 man format and as you can see we were successful. Problem is we are having a problem posting the flyer on the NYS Tournaments thread. Bussman is working with us to find the flaw in posting, but meantime we will keep you informed about time and date in our informal chatter.. It will be on the 4th of Feb. with a pre registration Friday evening 5-8pm or the morning of the tournament prior to the shot gun start@ 7:30, Weigh-ins will be from 3:30 to 4:30 and as it seams at the moment, all contestants will win something besides the prize money. Lots of cosponsors and contributors. Don't want to go much further as Bussman will probably have to bust this post, hopefully after we can pull that Flyer up on the NYS Tournaments page. And a side note to you FM, the Steak House has a live band scheduled that Friday night of preregistration and herein by popular demand we are requesting your appearance to do your inimitable turtle/worm dance. Warning, there will be cameras this time.

But, I got to thinkin, if it is for a good cause...I'm game!!!! Guess I better start practicing my technique's again ehhh! :P
do i need a team mate for the tourney or can i fish by myself , because i hate to win it with just me fishing :whistle: ;)
What I wanna know is how you get away with putting them in the kitchen sink
Any new team names yet?????????? come on fishermen and fisherwomen!!!! :wacko: :laugh: :icefish:

Gotta see what Jr. thinks. Couple of ideas "Frozen Fin-addicts" "Jonesin to be frozin" Sorry it's taking awhile, some of us spend more time thinking of what we're going to do with the winnings & actually thinking about fishing instead of names :P :P :-* :-* but hey to each his own. You guys can have the title king o team names, we'll just keep the crown for the Pond.We have already figured out what we will be doing with our money for first place. Lots of new fishing supplies.
We have already figured out what we will be doing with our money for first place. Lots of new fishing supplies.
I think you're getting ahead of yourself. Iceboy and I are taking home the cash. Just remember 2nd place is just the first loser.
Yes it is, but when it comes to waterfowl hunting it can be way to crowed.yeah it can. We hunt an area opening day we have to walk a good mile to get there but we limit out every year
Is the pond working it's majic transforming water into ice yet? I know I know wishful thinking lol.not yet i might check it in a couple days and i will report back
Thanks pondskipper. I just need to drill in my head that last year we were lucky with really early ice.no problem. Last year was good but to darn slushy. hopefully we have some good soild ice with very little snow.
For all the crap I caught about teams names I haven't heard one from HT & FM yet ::) ::) ::)i must review this decision with my fishing partner. mean while you guys can just keep slapping your selves on your backs :P

While you guys are slappin your own backs Pondskipper and I are making the winning of the 2 man tournament worth while, we are getting some serious cosponsors for the tournament, some great contributions have been made. I will post the new flyer by tomorrow evening and add a second page with co sponsors/ contributors. bigbuck has some major contributors. I think this 2 man can get pretty big. I am trying to get it in the Oswego County Tourism magazine for next year. You know we had as many participants from Pennsylvania last year as we had locals. Maybe we can have a head to head competition with the Quaker Staters next year. A lot of our Ice Shanty Sponsors are kicking in too. I hope we all recognize their contributions to our efforts and frequent their establishments and businesses, it is a 2-way street. Maybe it would be nice just to say thanks next time you stop in their places of business. Oh yeh, HT your father company HT enterprises has kicked in a major package. That is your father isn't it ? haha lol. You wish.what are putting in ???
what are putting in ???
Don't know yet Chris took the message, I will post everything as soon as we get together. ADKRoy posted the text on the Events thread.

You have been all over the place Bcons , ever jig up a laker ?Decades ago, when I was a kid growing up in NH, that's all the old timers did. Jig all day for a fish or 2, then stay out for "cusk" at night. Back then I used to think perch were for kids to catch. Caught a bunch, then I outgrew perch ::) ::) Thought I had to catch better fish. Now????? GIVE ME THE STRIPED BANDITS!
7th place gets a payout ????? What is this everyone gets a trophy nonsense going around lately ?
go ahead Bacon Grease keep stirring the pot. i can take it and will just sit here in the shadows until i see the right time to strike. oh it will be a good day for sure >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

What does it matter what ya have for ideas? Neither of you is fishing with me :P
Man cant wait to get my hands on 1st place winnings. I love easy money ;D Guys, keep your boats handy we might be doing this tournament on open water :'(
True Cuse, have any ideas?
Found a partner who grew up on the pond but we'll probably loose b/c we use plastics ;Dtip those plastics with a spike or fat head and you will be set ;D
Tried it cuse, still kept the same size. Somehow it is locked at that size shown.
tip those plastics with a spike or fat head and you will be set ;D
Thanks for posting the flyer ADK. My old laptop suffered a bad virus and I can't get it back on the internet. Good thing I have my tablet.

RG, Thanks for the help . Actually I went back to your on-line instructions and got my avatar straightened out. That is my Shanty and and now I am going to try to crop the picture and make it a little more identifiable. The Eastern Pennsylvania Deaf Anglers wanted to thank ADK Roy for his help posting the 2-man Team tournament flyer as well. We are getting great response to the flyer, hope to see you guys there, hey now that would be a team ADkroy and RG !!!!!
I don't know about that, I don't think RG would be able to handle me catching all those tiny perch! :woot:I consider to get a Award to ADKROY " Biggest Smallest Perch Winner" at Sandy Pond :clap: :roflmao: :clap: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :woot: :bow: :cookoo: :cookoo:

ADKroy, I can tell you are a modest and non boastful fisherman. Truly self effacing. Any thing for a laugh. You would fit right in on the pond. We have more jokers per square foot than comedy central. :clap:
Oh man what a day that was...I wish I could post my picture from that day again. I did but it got deleted within the first few hours ::)
Me thinks those "dack's guys" are skeered to fish here. :P :P :P :P :P The other combo I'd pay to see would be the team of Gamma & trapper, especially if they were made to fish in the same shanty. I think someone could sell tickets!

Does the pond have any ice on it yet??not safe yet :P
Looking for a little help from knowledgeable fisherman in area. Was put in charge of securing a lake and lodging for a large group of fisherman for our annual ice fishing excursion. Normally a Thursday thru Sunday trip. Group has averaged 25 to 35 fisherman over the last 15 years.Spent the first 10 years going to Canada(Simcoe & Nippising.) and the last five at New York waters. looking for different waters and accommodations. Anyone have knowledge of accommodations at Oneida,Sandy pond,Chaumont, the finger lakes or Chautauqua lake please drop a line. Maybe a group of cottages or sportaman club
Thanks
Ps: fishing preference (perch,crappie and walleye)
Pss. This question is lake specific,therefore placed in the specific lakes of concern.lodging might not be considered a condition by some, but it will solely determine were our group of 35 spend our vacation fishing.. So for those of you that feel that you wasted 20 seconds of you life reading this thread save your comments.
not safe yet :P
I will be fishing the pond this weekend! :icefish: :thumbsup:
In a boat or on the ice??I will be on the ice. :icefish:
I will let everyone know when I decide to head out.
anyone know if there is still ice left at green point?none left on the pond or greenpoint
none left on the pond or greenpoint
nice pic snagger looks like the lake in there today
heres the lake.

I am so frustrated. I have been waiting for ice since june! I cannot believe that pic of the pond. I am torn. I just want to get out there and do some ice fishing for cryin out loud! What are your guys predictions on when the pond will have safe ice? I see its gonna be real cold tomorrow but i also am seeing upper 30s for highs coming up with lows in the mid 20s by toward the end of the week. I just am starting to get MAD
how much snow did you guys end up getting up there? if we cant go fishing I can at least get the snowmobile out
In pulaski, 3-5 inches but redfield got about a foot and a half. Getting anxious for riding and fishing!!!
I have family that lives in Redfield and they got 8 inches at there place. I know if you head towards Cedar Pines up to sportsman the snow gets deeper
Do you live up there?
We only got 3 inches here in Altmar, sandy pond was bare. I took a ride up to Pipeline rd. on the Redfield Reservoir...4-5 inches at best... Alot of rocks showing on the trails.......You might be able to trailer your sleds up to Cedar pines and hop on C4 to C8 and find some snow near Flatrock, but I bet that's still a nightmare.
Yea i live right in pulaski, i went up to little john yesterday while they were getting snow and they had about 14 inches
pondskipper any ice on that bad boy yet?I havent got to the pond yet im heading to sixtown right now.
my notes from 2006-007, a winter simillar too this one, says steelhead spawning in orwell and south sandy last week of december, well that happened this year also, it also says sandy pond locked on the 17th of January from a minus 07 degree morning, I was fishing wig wams on 4 inches of ice jan. 21st.. Oneida locked the 25th, fished Feb 1st on 5 inches until march 25th that year, my notes also say I fished wig wams til 30th after I left Oneida. 18inces of ice on the 26th of march..winter started late but lingered longer that year.
You'll wanna check on 4th...mom-in-law lives in Inlet, sent me some pics yesterday of 12" plus of snow by the looks of it- When I left there last Monday Looots of Open water heading towards Old Forge way..
I know you guys are waiting for someone to report hour by hour conditions, as am I. It won't be me this year as I unretired, I'm a working stiff, week end warrior like the rest of you. I was hopeful Green Point had locked up at least. Any new news Franky? By the way are we still on for Friday night?I will try to get there tonight. Yes we are on for friday night we will fish there or another spot.
First time I was on the pond last yr it was about 2 inches. Sketchy but loved drilling holes, lolwhen the ice is sketchy me and fishhead have the cheif go out first and check the ice. cant be too safe you know :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: ;D

How much ice is on the pond as of Jan 5, 2012? Getting anxious to get out.
shanty was on it today. not telling where but someone was happy today ;Dgood for them :cookoo: not this guy when u walk and it cracks and pops under your feet and your butt hole sucks in not for me
good for them :cookoo: not this guy when u walk and it cracks and pops under your feet and your butt hole sucks in not for meX2 not worth it....
Hey guys I was out there today for a few hours. Caught my lunch and dinner and left.
How about ice picks, a rope, life jacket, cell phone and a buddie, maybe your floaties, oh and a hovercraft.
Good deal. 2.5inches is ok with me. I just won't go out with full gear and my shanty. bucket, pole and auger only. ;D
If I have to be worried about how much gear I can bring with me to keep the weight down I’M NOT GOING :cookoo:
i have pics of shanties being pulled out so you can all stay home but I'm heading out to fish. ;D
I'm going out Saturday if youre looking for someone to fish with.
Cusefan78
can you post some pics of shanys being pulled out this year
I am really confused why fishing the Elms and Wigwam is made into such a secret... ??? ??? ::) ::)
Good deal. 2.5inches is ok with me. I just won't go out with full gear and my shanty. bucket, pole and auger only. ;D
on some nights this summer you could hear the eyes popping the top of the water. I love that sound. not a lot of them on pond though.Oh I used to be a bouy boy too, top water for bass and jigs for eyes under the alewives at dark. ;)
If I have to be worried about how much gear I can bring with me to keep the weight down I’M NOT GOING :cookoo:
I caught some on the South Pond this Summer...didn't fish very hard for them...I heard you were the best of the best for eyes SNAG...I have never caught one through the ice...I have never targeted them...I did break one of, good one too two years ago at Chaumont...Maybe I'll get lucky on the S. Pond this winter and get a couple...I'm by know means the best, not even close... just enjoy doing it, to get eyes at the pond, stop targeting the perch and disipline yourself to go reel big last hour and into the dark, most times nothing these days probably, but those blitzs were awesome in the mid 2000's.....
how thick is the ice at the wigwam thinking of heding up thereRoll the dice bud. With the warm weather and threat of rain the ice might be in trouble.
is there any lakes in ny with safe icedo your home work ::) ::) ::)

I used to be a regular there til the canadians killed all the walleye with the lampricide, I'd show up at wig wams 2-3 hours before dark, walk out maybe 2-4 shanties most days, and get 5 or 8 eyes, usually 2 or 3 keepers, haven't been in a while but i here theres more people than that now and alot less eyes..I live next to the stream that the canadians poisoned. I would say two or thee years ago. This year there were thousands of waldos back in the stream it was very good to see that again. I still think its going to be a couple of years before we pull them through the ice like before.

Haha. You wanna head out some place on sunday morning man? I did send you a message today ::)
bcon, am I allowed to talk about the meet and greet at the Steak House yet? Is it a done deal? FM is going to do the worm/turtle and there is a strong Pennsylvania contingent coming up to steal our thunder.
Its a great suprise to pull a walleye through the ice of sandy. I was lucky enough to get two each of the last two years. I hope to pull a few more this year. Great to hear they may be making a comeback. Thanks for the great walleye info guys!!
well all i have to say is if u go out there go for u :cookoo: but when my butt hole sucks up and a little bit of p comes out when i walked out there to day to check and drill a hole no thank u not for this guy 2.5 and ice poppen and cracking under my feet been wet once and not going to happen againwhimp ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
whimp ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
whimp ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)some of us don't weigh 90lbs wet and 4f 8 like u :P
Not everyone was graced enough to have the body to walk on saran wrap ::) ::) ::) How's that work out for ya in a crowd? :-* :-* :-*once again the great BACON GREASE has spoken. i walk on water not plastic wrap and do catch fish once in a while. did you mail us our checks yet ??? ??? ??? or should i call the collection agency :P :P :P :P :P
some of us don't weigh 90lbs wet and 4f 8 like u :Plike i said "WHIMP" ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
once again the great BACON GREASE has spoken. i walk on water not plastic wrap and do catch fish once in a while. did you mail us our checks yet ??? ??? ??? or should i call the collection agency :P :P :P :P :PI'm reminded of the sayings "even a blind squirrel finds a nut" or "the sun shines on every az" at least sometimes..........
If you're worried about falling through, Wrap yourself with bubble wrap!point well made in that statement. some of us here know when is the right time and when not to Venture............
Just kidding, 3 inches on a lake that just froze is not a good idea. Its just asking for trouble and we've already had some icefishermen fall through this winter. :-\
When I was first learning to icefish, I managed to go swimming by going on unsafe ice. Luckily it was in water that was only chest deep and I was able to get out. Now that I know better and I look back at the conditions, ice just froze, it had rained the day before, it made for weak ice. I like to wait till 4 inches or greater with lots of cold nights and no rain. Especially now that my wife icefishes with me. She always makes me walk out ahead of her. :unsure:as most know i grew up on sandy pond and have gone thru over at least that i remember 4-5 times over the last 30+ years. not at all proud of that but it is what it is. it will make you respect the ice and getting older now make you very cautious of it at times. i guess that is one of the reasons i bought the AA suit also ;)
FM, those are really nice fish or you have a small sink. Which is it? What? Did you borrow those good looking kids? They can't be yours. Oh yeh! Now I remember , you married a good lookin woman with bad eye sight, lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Nice sink full.......So is it gonna be safe for the weekend or is it still sketchy you all think??? Love to get out but wanna stay dry
walked on GP wed night,....the snowy ice was suspect 3" at best,....the black ice further out was almost there,.....I feel the only safe time to fish GP was yesterday,.....the forecast is scary!
You me and the capn really cooked some meat out there didn't we? Wish I could say the same for Goon and HT. I think they were a little standoffish don't you? They kept looking over their shoulders like they were guarding a honey hole or something. I counted 6 of them slime logs. Does that sound right? Tell Parker to get a good nights sleep so he can wrestle in his first tournament tomorrow. I hope he does his best and has fun. That is all you can ask for.
I live next to the stream that the canadians poisoned. I would say two or thee years ago. This year there were thousands of waldos back in the stream it was very good to see that again. I still think its going to be a couple of years before we pull them through the ice like before.
What stream was that and when was it poisoned ???Its thstream that runs along side route 15. route 15 is the road that goes across route 3 to the pond. The creek is called lindsey creek I think.
Wait what's wrong with the basketball team. They played one of the scrappiest teams in the country and they actually play defense. That was a solid win last night!
We don't have to worry about Boggey pounding fish. The ones he targets are the size of flatheads.
Adk, sorry been in a miserable mood all day. Looked at the forecast and it sucks. I need Ice!!!!!
Anyone want to go to sixtown this mourning?how much is on sixtown, might have to be sick one day this week!

I really need to stop working out of town during the weekdays. I'm heading to potsdam but the way the weather is I'm not taking my stuff and chancing it going out on a lake I don't know by myselfThere is a ton of ice up north , it will be perfectly safe thru the weekend ant alot of good spots around Potsdam . Ton's is a great bar too ::) ::)
I don't want to lose sight of the fact we have half a dozen tournaments scheduled for the pond this year and I am truly in fear the weather might not cooperate. Besides our first 2 man tournament on Feb 4th. The sportsmen Have theirs scheduled the following month on the 3rd.. Two great tournaments, all we need is safe ice. I haven't seen the flyer yet but the Museum is sponsoring a tournament on Feb 11th at the Steak House as well. And there are a slew of others. All these tournaments have a great economic consequence to the local fishing and tourism community.
" Think cold guys."
:icefish: :icefish:
Any current ice conditions for the Pond?
Water Temp 34 degrees, waves 2 to 3 feet...
God I hope it didn't break up. This no ice crap is really starting to depress me!!Its got me frustrated to. I decided to get back into rabbit huntn until we have ice just to keep my mind off fishing.

Still Nothing going on up there!?!?!? Heading Up North Sunday....Should I just keep driving by it or try a smaller body of water!?!? ANDDDDDDDDDD I dont wanna get wet lol. I am hoping the cold weather on Saturday will help build an inch or so that whole day.
Question for ya, I rent a cottage every year up off Chipman lane. I have permission to park at cottage to access the pond. (weather providing) I know it would be a good hike out to the duck blind Island, but i do pretty good there during the summer when I am up there...Question is, would i be better going out of the steak house or is it pretty good fishing the island during the winter as well?
hows the ice at sandy pond?
anyone know if there is safe ice on the pond yet? :tipup:Read the posts ABOVE!

Wondering how much snow is on the ground up there?12'' at my house
We should have a couple good inches by monday night. I just got done changing my shockes on my truck out side. Holy cold. Got in just in time to see sanfran. beat the saints what a heck of a game. Think cold everyone.
hopefully the pond will be good enough for next weekend want some of those jumbo.
Just cuz you can't catch em dose'nt mean they arent there ;)
12'' at my house
there all six inches long and lots of them @)
Plenty of big perch in the pond if you know what you are doing . ;)
go to oneida if you want jumbos. I didnt know the pond had big perch.
there all six inches long and lots of them @)
Ya , Useing my buddy heater to defrost my water lines as we speak >:( I knew I should have gotten extra tanks .
MINUS 12 degrees outside.
yeah im not even going to try. I just heard from my fellow deep water oneida fishing buddies that if you like dinks hit the pond.More for us. stay on oneida
yeah im not even going to try. I just heard from my fellow deep water oneida fishing buddies that if you like dinks hit the pond.Not after Feb 1st...... thats when the lakers begin filtering in. By second week in Feb, the pond begins to shine. I am glad to see the perch numbers rebounding, it was mighty tough there for a few years.
yeah im not even going to try. I just heard from my fellow deep water oneida fishing buddies that if you like dinks hit the pond.
I've nEver fishes greenespoint, I always fish the pond and produce plenty very large perch! I'm just curious if you guys get any perch in there or of you just get the blue gills and lots of pick in the shallow part? I duck hunt it a few times and it seems pretty shallow for most part? Ht, I know that's your favorite spot!
hows the ice at wigwam

I'm just curious if you guys get any perch in there or of you just get the blue gills and lots of pick in the shallow part? I duck hunt it a few times and it seems pretty shallow for most part? Ht, I know that's your favorite spot!that spot sucks :P dont ever listen to bcons he does not know what he is talking about. keep heading north
If it bothers you stay off the thread
so hows the ice by the wigwam????
that spot sucks :P dont ever listen to bcons he does not know what he is talking about. keep heading north
bcons I apalogize for the attiude. Im just getting excited to get out there. I couldn't get down to check the pond yestarday and was looking for some info. :-X
??? ??? ??? 9000 guys have asked the same question 9000000 times in 2 weeks, the responses are always the same from everyone yet this response aimed at me? Ok........ Uhhhh where was your support for all the other people who didn't read & repeated the same question over & over during the last few weeks?
It's cool though, good to learn how people are.
There is no comparison between Pond perch and Oneida jumbos , Sandy has some nice ones but Oneida in 30 fow is in a league of its own both size and taste . Just alot harder to catch .... that is the great equalizer .
All the fish at Green Point are small and not worth fishing...I would recommend staying over on the main Pond once it is safe... :o :oyeaa its true totally not worth fishing green point right trapp ::) ::) ;D
Think I'm going out for crappies tomorrow evening... ;D ;Dthanks for the call buddy ::) joking
Went out last Sunday but had to be home before the bite started... >:(

yeaa its true totally not worth fishing green point right trapp ::) ::) ;D
i don't think theres any differance in taste but there are some big perch in oneida however there is in sodus and the finger lakes too ,henderson,chaumont,eel and goose bay ..... it's hard to beat the pond on numberspond does have big perch. but they dont taste as good as perch from oneida, the filets just taste like water
greenes point is bad!!!! i have even heard that theres a hatch of venomus snow snakes!!!!! .... i go there only to drill holes so the snakes fall in and drown .... if you are brave enough to come out i'm in a artic armor blue suit with a pack shack please help me by drilling holes close to me then leave so i can entice the snakes to fall in !!! just back away slow and don't attempt to copy me ... i am a professional ok .... thank youlmfaoooo :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: i freakin love you trappp that just made my day, i wanna go learn your wisdom of these venomus snow snakes ill bring the coffee
ps they are drawn to hot coffee so please for you safty leave all thermos by my shanty , i will be sure they are safly emptied for you
do i see 2 bullheads? Looks like lots of action.. :thumbsup:

9,000lbs divided by 1500 = 6lbs each, those are large waldo's....
Just wanted to let everyone know that I live on the pond year round, so if anyone has questions please feel free to ask.
Thanks Clam! The other thread is kinda long and convoluted. I get up that way a few times every season and love fishing there. I park at the golf course and fish south from there. So, I'm thinking you must have good ice there now. Is the whole pond covered with safe ice? If it is maybe I'll make a run up there this week.

I hope you can fish better than ya read Jr. What was my prediction? :whistle: :whistle: I believe I said the ice would be down to next to nothing so it wouldn't hold the snow, but turn to slush then refreze.

That perch is from last year, I see bare ground in the background...good one though, this heavy rain we are getting right now is depressing....
How many did you guys end up with fishtank??That was last year I will hopefully be out thursday.
Its not raining in Syracuse.
you going with us on saturday Bcons or what. i need someone to drag my shanty out ;D
That perch was caught last year and I bet his wife caught the fish and he posed with it. Nice try Bob.Probobly lol
Glad I live north...worst thing you see up here is a 200lber with no teeth.. ;D
Instead of talking about the fish, tell us about the ice conditions.
Some of us have a long way to travel.
I heard they are stacked heavy by the structure around the Altmar Hotel.
Bill you are just jealous,fishtank I hope the pond gets enough ice for the derbys and if you need any help for your derby let me know.Will Do Thanks Bob.
It's a catch and release zone though, ;D that's where all the big breeders hang out.they don't bite there its like shooting fish in a barrel :thumbsup: just grab and go and than come back for more if u want :sick:
hows the ice at greene point4 to 5 inches of ice on Green pt. Starting to get wet along the shoreline bit no slop once you get out of the marina... I didn't see any water running down the holes where I fished. The snow was still absorbing the rain and run off. Tomorrow could be totally different in either direction. If it he's cold tonight with the high winds, it could benefit the ice and make a bit more but if it doesn't get cold, it'll be a lake out there with questionable spots in the ice.
can someone PM me how thick the ice will be on the pond in 48 hrs? ::) ::) ::)
can someone PM me how thick the ice will be on the pond in 48 hrs? ::) ::) ::)
in 48 hours the ice will average 8.3 inches the bit will be hot and even catch will be able to catch fish without us helping ....
sounds a little unbelievable ...ok so catch will need help so what ;D
::) I've seen you fish...You shouldnt be one to critique, I've seen you fish

(http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc461/obrien380/IMG_20120117_223003.jpg)Could you put two eye bolts one on each sides of the tub towards the upper lip. You would have to drill two holes through the top of the tub. Let you bracket just set on the skis then use a rachets strap to go from one side of tub where your eye bolt is, around your bracket to the other eyebolt. Then you can tighten it to your tub with the ratchet strap.

Built this rack tonight for my fish trap pro want to mount it to the skis. Issue I've ran into is if I bolt it to the skis its in the way of my feet when sitting so I've been pondering on how to built a quick disconnect for the rack so I can easily attach it and remove it from the skis any ideas?

any ice updates looking to make the trip tomorrow or friday thanks fellasReally? Read the post right above yours..... This thread is getting a little rediculous.
after that thaw i'd use a spud bar on the way out! and drill a few holes .... i wear artic armor but have a pfd and rope in my shanty .... i know that ice was a little funky when i got off , asking others if ice is safe is like asking if a gun is loaded , you check for yourself .... walk with the spud
we send Cheifcatchemall out first and see what happens ;D ;D ;D ;D
We always send out a fat guy first then watch and see what happens, lol. ??? ??? or a single guy with no kids.

Going up to my house on south sandy most likely next Thursday after I get out of work at 11am anyone interested in going let me know (pm me) theirs no way I'm playing on that zoo you guys call the north pondAre you anywhere near the Weller tract on South Pond ? I know a few small areas there where the crappies stack up and later on, the huge white perch pack into !
Are you anywhere near the Weller tract on South Pond ? I know a few small areas there where the crappies stack up and later on, the huge white perch pack into !waffle tract off of tryon rd
10000000% open water. We watched the waves crash, and geese landing in it. If people don't believe me ask CuseFan. This isn't a report to keep people from fishing the pond there are plenty of safe spots to fish out there. I'm just saying stay safe and smartWhere?
It's sad to say it but something will happen out there this weekend. Someone will go for a swim or trash someones yard and we will lose park spots.yup right there cny that's what will happen people don't think before they do things and the parking is bad as it is people better think and respect what they have or everyone will be parking at the wig to get on remember guys it only takes one to mess it up for everyone just saying
still on for tomarrow an people are goin out on onidea lake :cookoo: freaking crazy if yu ask me but tomarrow goin up ice still look good everything stable :whistle:
[/quote
I went to Oneida today. 5 inches of good black ice at sylvan

I was out on GP yesterday I fished from sunrise to sunset the bite was VERY slow only got 7 keepers all day and one pike on my jigging pole. Ice was around 6 inched both spots I tried. I could only try to spots because it was extremely windy. I saw a guy get out of his one man clam and it went flying across the bay it was funny towatch but I felt bad for him. We had to keep one guy in my clam yukon at all times because of the wind. Just figured I would post someresults. It didn't matter to me though what I caught it was my first time out this year just great tofinally be out.
I believe that would be ME ;D ;D. Glad you enjoyed the show. When I first saw it start I figured that gust would let up and it would stop....I WAS WRONG :woot: It kept going....and going. Caught up to it once and the drag rope tripped me....had to stop and check that rough ice it went over before I went accross that, then finnaly dove and grabbed the rope. When I got back.....the pike was still on the tip up I got up to get. Only keeper of the night. That wind was CRAZY. Bought some ice anchors on the way home that night
pondskipper if youre asking how many fingers they have you must be lost thats not sandy pond youre fishing thats onondaga lake . you need to head further northOOOO. I was wondering why they were glowing green. :woot:

so i just seen nxt weeks weather and it dnt look to good. itll b like 35 40 all week. where the hell is our winterYeah that doesnt look good at all. We may not be having the tournament if that doesnt change. ??? ??? ???

(http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss231/trapper2000/2bbffssaa.jpg) filling the bucket
I saw 3 sleds and 2 wheelers, Can't speak for anything other than what I saw. Out of Elms was black ice with snow patches. I never drilled my first hole till I was in the center of the pond. 5 inches of black ice. It was a beautiful day to be an ice fisherman. . Slow bite, but not the usual onslaught of dinks. brought home 18. 6 were slobs. Cuse and Matt cleaned my clock. Good thing the tournament was not today. The Honey hole was not as good as last year. May have to move around tomorrow. Got to clean my fish. I am confident we have enough ice to weather Mondays warm up. as long as the nights stay cold, everything should hold.boggey looks like i have to come out there and give lessons again u know I'm going to have to charge soon for this , don't worry ill bring the pink pacifiers for the boys so when they start to cry i ll give them one and they light up too so than u have a chance, not nice of them to beat up on u like that have to come out and show them how its done goon style
fishing wasn't that great today saw very few on camera . 6 inches of black ice every where we drilled . saw quads and sled driving all over icethanks be there soon
we ended up with 37 keepers. four were slobs. Seemed like bite heated up when sun was out. Not to many people where we were. Had a Cat sled and old doo near us and they seemed to have no problems. we had 4.5-5 inches of ice.BTW that old Doo was me... ;D
Tank. I know you started after me although it took me longer to get out there. We may have started at the same time. Like you told me it was slow start. I didn't have a vex, but through multiple bait changes finally found somthing they liked. Def not the same as last year. As to the probability of you winning the 2 man tournament are 60/1. I didn't hear that team name, what is it? And good luck with the baby. PM me when you can about getting the perm out on Friday. I may need a hand.Team "winning" lol j/k I am not sure yet
BTW that old Doo was me... ;D
I will take that into consideration as you were once my best bud, but Big Sunny and I , henceforth known as Team Boggey have some pretty good spots picked out and will be extremely mobile the day of the tournament. In fact we will use the perm shack as a means of misdirection, We will paint the windows black so you won't know if we are in there or not. We are also adopting some of goonboys winter camo to disguise our whereabouts. Team Boggey is going to use the first place prize money to upgrade the shanty with wall to wall carpet and build Big Sunny's new hut.
I hated to burst your bubble DD, but someone has to bring you back to reality. Now what were some other of those pretenders team names I have been hearing about? Paperchound tells me they have 11 teams from PA signed up and ready to rest the title from the Sandy Pond regulars. Kurt, 5 words, that ain't goin to happen. Although I would still like to hear some of those team names. It's time for a team check in on the 2man team tournament. One note on that: B-Con -Catchemall has too many syllables. You got to shorten that team title for brevity's sake. Also I thought those Oswego boys represented us well last year. I didn't see Wattsy there though. Hey guys, I'm just lookin for some fishermen who think they can fish.
nope I didn't fish sunday but it was my buddy he took my sled.
Where you in the same area today. Looked like the same sled from yesterday. Short walk for us coming off groman rd.
We fished by gp. It was very steady the whole time we were there we left with a five gallon bucket amost full.so did we .... trust me it was slow ....
Nice catch ;D
Whos your scout?i have trail cam on all of ya
i have trail cam on all of yaok than were was i today ??? can u see me now :roflmao: going a little :cookoo: lately sorry
He's talking about you Pond Skipper, have you been consorting with the enemy? That's alright, you have a chance to redeem yourself, just start sending him in all the wrong places with all the erroneous information (that's called misdirection). It is a different Pond this year. He will be sooo disoriented his previous info won't work this year. Heck, those Pennsylvania fishrmen are used to using nets and cherry bombs aren't they?sssssshhhhhhh that is the secret bate. dont tell pondskipper i put a gps on his ice house last year he is a good scout lol

HAPPY BDAY HAROLD...
Tomorrow will be day 2 of pre derby scouting ..... also Harry's birthday got a few friends commin up ;D driveway is starting to freeze again :thumbsup:
HAPPY BDAY HAROLD...Well said ! It's unfortunate that handful of people on here think that this is their personal site and can say whatever they want to whoever they want with no recourse.
I left DD with extra money this evening, so he would spend it on you brother......hey, what are friends for!! ;)2
Oh.....BY the way, what got into some of your guys britches lately? Thin ice is making some short tempers eghhh? I give the newbie credit for making a ridiculous post like that in front of peers. Personally, I would have kissed that auger goodbye at the same time I was kissing my arse and thanking that I was still alive. I'm sure that person feels foolish enough, it is the seasoned guys that should console and teach, not throw them under the carpet publicly. JMO
that chanal never freezes good!!!! stay away from it! theres plenty of ice just use your heads !

It's the main reason that you see new members for a day or two and they never come back after getting hammered by the so called know-it-alls and Gods Gifts to fishing !
To all you newbies who think the regulars are blowhards who don't care about anything other than ebloviating on their fishing exploits, you are half right, intwined in all that bs and bravado, you will catch some wisdom and experience. Think of it as a period of initiation, getting beyond that newbie status and joining the fold. One thing they, we all have in common is safety. And safety isn't something we joke about. Ridicule of the stupidity can sometimes make a person think twice. While I will swap lies, send you in the wrong direction and brag about what a great fishermen I am, I will always encourage you to fish smart and safe. That is something we will all sign on to right guys?Damn right JBogg! Newbies Welcome and watch out for these guys they only bust on you until you start bustin back! Ive had the great pleasure of talkin and fishin with a bunch of the pond regulars and became one myself! JBogg do you have the same phone # if so Ill call you Im lookin to get up there this weekend! Stay Safe and TightLines to all!
Seems that Tourney is getting closer by the minute. Just wanted to give everyone a quick reminder regarding the team that nobody will forget. :bow: :blink: Just for the records....I will donate 3/4 of my first place winnings to the charity of my choice...... A NEW SNOWBOARD FOR TYLER, AND A 30 RACK OF LABBATTS FOR HT AND CHEIF, CAUSE I THINK THAT BUSCH IS ROTTING THEIR ALREADY DEMENTED COCONUTStyler has the snow board dip stick ::) ::) ::) ::) he is in need of a shanty and you can keep your skunky labbats beer :sick: :sick: :sick: :roflmao: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish:

Shout out to cush, Saw him over to Dick's Sports. Talk about our new youngins coming into the sport. Nice young man, hope you get to team up with your bro and make the tournament cush. We traded a couple of secrets. He told me what was workin for him and I bought some useless lure just to mislead him. Whileey Coyote, that's me.
We maybe fishing the tournament in canoes.
one single man clam on the pond right now. That's my buddy Matt. he says he's the only one out there :o :o. My reply was that is not a good sign and get your dumb butt off the ice.
Hi guys, I am new to this forum and brand new to ice fishing. Thought I'd jump in to introduce myself and see if anyone is willing to share info and educate. We spend yesterday out infront of the Wigwam. There was about 5 to 6 inches, more guys out than I anticipated for a week day, and enough ice for 4-wheelers to be out there. Someone gave me two buckets full of working tip-ups and jig rods so me and a couple friends thought we would give ice fishing a try and yesterday was our first day.....ever...We really had a good time and stayed warm. We used spikes on the jigs and fat heads on the tip-ups. Hit only a few small perch. We figure everyone was slow because people were moving all over the pond. If anyone is willing to share info and tips we are willing to listen and learn and I won't impede on anyone spots....Just looking to have fun and be somewhat successfull, mainly because I would like to bring my 6 and 8 year olds out with me and want them to enjoy it. Thanks for the help guys.

Talked to a guy just got back from gp 6/8 inches ice 4 inches of water on top not good
I was shocked to see one lone guy out on the far side of the South Pond this afternoon. Shore ice was very bad.It was safe where we were during the day. At 11:30 I counted 39 shanties around that part of the pond we were on and plenty of guys without shanties. The shore ice from the parking area was all OK so long as we stayed well away from the docks with the bubblers. By afternoon the ice out by the lake was sinking, the holes were opening, and the ice was thinning. I think we were plenty safe where we were but I would not go out there tomarrow. What is the limit on thise fish sandwiches at Arby's?
I drove along the North Pond a bit and counted at least a dozen people out there. The shore line there looked terrible too.
You guys do know that Arby's has 2 fish sandwiches for $4.00, now, don't you?
Renshaw bay/ Green Point Marina area, has it's own ice conditions.yes it has it's own conditions. However, someone just posted the shore is fine at the marina if you stay away from the docks with the bubblers. Those docks freeze in, there aren't bubblers....... just bad ice. The wind is ripping now& it aint cold........
All you dare eat, on the 2 for 4!
Everything that trapper and DD said is pretty much true. Of course I had to find out exactly for myself. drove over to the Elms this morning. At the ramp, the ice was out about5 feet from the shore. There were about 5 trucks there and people were finding ways to get on the ice. Then I drove over to GP, about 50 trucks and cars Lots of good ice to get on between the docks. I took a picture of the open water. The open water extended from the channel almost all the way around the island and was open all the way over to the point at Green point. A lot of fishermen were on the ice at green point.. I then drove over to The Steak House (wig-Wam) A walk down the ramp showed thick ice and several fishermen had made their way on the ice from there as well I entered the pond from the Steak House and walked out to the Honey Hole, The geometric center of the Pond, wouldn't you know? I made test holes all the way out. While all holes were at least 5 inches thick, the caveat to that was, there were massive open holes randomly spattered across the ponds surface. These holes were averaging 20 square feet to 100 square feet in size. As the day was Sunny and bright these holes were readily visible. In fact large open holes were witnessed all the way out and back.Good choice Jimmy , the hole harry went for a swim in was blown over with a light skim of ice and snow . it was nearly dark as we came off and if he was any less fit he may have been in trouble . Remember people 5 inches of ice does not mean there is no danger . I will not be back out till we get a good long freeze and I will not go alone .
The multiple dangers as I see is the holes are already massive. The continued warm weather and warm wind will only serve to further deteriorate there condition If there is a slight cooling during the night it would only serve to create a light crust of ice over these same holes rendering them unnoticeable yet even more dangerous than there present condition. I have sent pictures and info to the Eastern Pa Deaf Bass anglers organizers and it is their decision to postpone the 2 man tournament scheduled for the Feb 4th due to unsafe Ice conditions. As an alternate date they are looking to reschedule the tournament on the 18th of February. Big Bucks will republish the Flyer and change the post on Ice Shanty . Please help me to spread the word and pray for some cold weather after the 4th .
trak nice pics!!!! least you had fun before it ended .... ;DWe did have fun. I feel grateful to get the day before it was all gone. @)
Hey catch, you may have a future in photography. Blow that picture up and frame it. I'm no art critic but the picture has balance and beauty. I guess it all depends on the subject and what resolution your camera has. My limited experience is my phone camera don't cut it. If not photography then maybe fish arrangements :D :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:
Looks like we will need boats for the tourney
Wow! I just took a tour around the other posts. Am I imagining the general tenor of our discussions are becoming more and more confrontational and less helpful and informative? In the past I have enjoyed the post by some of our stalwart contributors and lately, perhaps because of the lack of ice, cabin fever whatever, the general din of our quips and quotes are often demeaning and disrespectful. I will bust on my friends with the best of them, but some times it is a thin line that takes us over the edge into down right warfare. I know we have all witnessed this in the near past and have lost valuable contributors to the general forum due to the excesses of heated disagreements.Well Spoken buddy !
I would hope, pray we can practice more civility in our inter forum conversations. Let's pretend our 10 year olds are reading our posts. Better yet, let your ten year olds read your posts. Are you proud of everything you post? Some of you have so much you can share with the rest of us. We all share this venue, this communitive forum we call Ice Shanty.com, so let's put the mods out of business, let's be more civil, more informative, more forgiving , yet and still convey our thioughts with joviality and a laugh or two.
Even though it looks better, be careful out there. Take a partner, walk 10 feet apart or more. bring hand spikes and if you have an old water ski rope with the handle on it, roll it around its own handle and put it in your back pack or sled. Think cold.
I'm too busy following the su football recruiting to catch any of this. I think we all should take a pause and sing kumbaya and praise the lord all mighty Doug Marrone.
Eddy, Trapper, Catch, HT, bcon,Pondskipper, thanks for bringing some of those newbys under your wing, and thank you to all who bring a new addict to the fold. Last year, I know some of us brought some Fort Drum soldiers and their families to the ice last year. Selfishly, I had a great time and met some great guys and their family members. Now that so many of us are making the trek north every week end, maybe we could offer to take a new military member or two with us. Is any one else so inclined? Big Sunny and I are looking at 3 mile on Sat. if the weather and ice permit.Jim I think we should start a program to start getting our military men and women out on the ice. This is something I have always wanted to do to show my thanks. I always buy a man or women in uniform a drink when I'm in a bar or restraunt to show my appreciation to them. Fort drum is a stones through away. They would love to go out fishing for the day. Anyone else got any ideas? I know this year is spent for ice but maybe we can put our heads together for next year.
I hope the Pond heals itself, but strongly believe those open holes are not solid yet and worse , now covered with thin ice under heavy snow. Even though it looks better, be careful out there. Take a partner, walk 10 feet apart or more. bring hand spikes and if you have an old water ski rope with the handle on it, roll it around its own handle and put it in your back pack or sled.

You may need to get a guides license not sure. I would help you with that part of it if you need.
Be careful if you are going to actually do this.. You may need to get a guides license not sure. I would help you with that part of it if you need.Why would you need a guides license if you took people fishing, guides get payed money for their services, just taking someone fishing you shouldn't need a license.
Why would you need a guides license if you took people fishing, guides get payed money for their services, just taking someone fishing you shouldn't need a license.Yeah I take people out fishing with me all the time does this mean I can charge them! That would be great cuz then the wife will stop complaining Im not working and Im always fishing with my friends!
cny
DON"T DO IT HT!!! Not Safe bro!! How much snow did you get in your neck of the woods??? ;D ;D :Ptoooooooooooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhh
6 inches feels like 6 feet to a guy your height I bet :owow thats all you got ??? go back to the closet transformer :P
wow thats all you got ??? go back to the closet transformer :P
exactly how much snow is on the pond ???
I got groceries in Pulaski today went from like a half foot here to bare patches and 2 inches down there.we need a good freeze of arctic air and the forecast does not look good :P
Congrats fish tank. Is she going to be a future Hunter/fishing girl?You know it. Already got her some pink camo lol.
we need a good freeze of arctic air and the forecast does not look good :PIf we got that artic air, wouldnt it set up the same slush senario as last yr? I got a flat spot on my skidoo belt from all the spinning I did on Oneida last yr...... while stuck in that slush...........
If we got that artic air, wouldnt it set up the same slush senario as last yr? I got a flat spot on my skidoo belt from all the spinning I did on Oneida last yr...... while stuck in that slush...........i meant after this thaw
i meant after this thawI'm thinking this thaw just might do it. Except in the Fulton area. I think whatever is trapped beneath that much snow is locked there till June, slush, water and the occasional walk around postman....

I say just let Bcons go and check it alone ::)
awww jr. I'm sorry you're right if I went to check it alone you wouldn't have to wear that choke collar tied to the back of the wheeler or sled to yank ya out if you went through :P :P :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
From what I understand, there's a practically new Jiffy propane auger sitting on the bottom of the pond now, along with a couple hundred more of additional gear...somebody that *should* have known better but apparently didn't....guess their last name doesn't equate to as "professional" as they'd like the minions to believe....

It wasn't like that yesterday...I am a safety nut and it was solid...the spots where it had previously split and separated were locked up with good black Ice...it did make for some cool looking Ice designs...you could have played Hockey out there it was smooth...
You talking about the crack right down the center of the bay? That looked freaky walking up to it.
The up coming temps sure look good boys. saturday and sunday have a high of 18 degrees. and lows of 7. We should be back in business
A quick pond pc from sunday..... I love bringing my little man and Wifey out with me. Proud dad here. ;D

These cold temperatures have been a Godsend to us pond regulars, not with standing the normal safety reservations and warming weather comcerns on Friday. If as projected we get a light snow rain mix for part of the day will it hurt the recent build we have experienced. As most of you know Big Bucks has rescheduled the 2 man tournament to the 18 th. A look at the temps after Friday evening is great. My personal opinion is the 2 man is back on and Big Sunny and I are ready to spend the first place money. So eddy and herald, start saving your money for the entry fee, FM and Coach, keep practicin, bcon and catch do what you do best,talk. Pondskipper and Capn hook sorry there is no night division, any other pretenders? Cuse, you and Matt? I am waiting for this week end results to confirm the pond has healed but feel good about it. Don't forget guys there is a big event on the pond this week end and a lot of family oriented events are scheduled with the Winter Carnival, Hopefully they will get enough snow Friday night for the dog sled rides on Sat and Sunday at least.
Guys, I was at greenspoint today and the lady mentioned she would be willing to put out a dock section for anglers to get over that 4 foot water hole. I was by myself and couldn't offer any help, she asked if I had anyone that could help her. If you happen to fish there with a buddy or two please stop in and offer her a hand if it isn't out yet! She does great allowing us to access there!! Thanks!
I'm hitting sandy pond in the morning!!!Hopefully we can get some perch like that!!!
bcons my leg went threw the ice on my home water! i reported it and get blamed for being the anti-christ .....
myself and a few others fished GP today..Ice wasn't to bad,alot of water on top by the end of the day.Todays catch was about 40 perch of average size and a few sun fish.Thinking about heading to sylvan beach to try for some eyes!!!
Haven't heard too much from HT. That can mean only one of two things, he is working overtime . or too busy sitting on the ice somewhere slamming those slobs in his pail, or if up north in a tub. What say you HT? ;D ;Dcheck the oneida thread
hows the ice on gp? there was 5-8 inches last weekend
I also have heard from a buddy that is a regular at the pond that the conditions are poor to say the least for a large portion of the pond.
Don't understand why guys would come on here looking for info and not heed the warnings of the regulars on here like trapper and bcons? If you are looking for info and you are not going to listen to the guys that always seem to post straight up reports than why bother looking on here??
I wonder if the main lake has a lot to do with the crap ice. It has been a unseasonably warm winter and the main lake water temp has to be warmer than the pond. With the winds pushing the warmer Ontario water through the channel.......I wonder if its melting the ice from underneath just as fast or in some spots faster than the air temps can make it right now?
New member here. Just moved to the area from the southern tier. I'm settled half way between Sandy Pond and Oneida lake but have rarely fished either body of water.
Did a search on Sandy Pond and just about every result mentioned this site so I checked it out and was glad I did . Tons of good info on both waters. Hope I can run into some of you guys once I get settled into the new house this week. Took 2 weeks off of work to get moved in but were almost done in 4 days. Lots of fishing time ahead.
Going on a scouting mission today. Sandy Pond Steak House here we come !
Coyote hunting? ;D Hi trapper heading up north anytime soon?yes John coyote hunting! ;D
Coyote hunting? ;D Hi trapper heading up north anytime soon?
just got off the pond. bout 4-5 inches of ice. a few iffy spots out deeper. the wind was pretty rediculos. the bite was slow. and a bit chilly out more then normal. i think it was about 5-10 degrees with the wind and all.
hahahahaha well it was almost as if winter had come. lol. wasnt sure if thats what it was or if i was feeling things lol. for a min there thought about bustin out the waiders andtrout stuff. was getting ready for trout season. buuut i cant complain im gettin use of that there new shanty
uhhhhhh On an ice fishing site posting "it was a bit chilly, the windchill was 5-10 degrees" will get you virtually flogged.
5-10 degrees is reason not to complain, the forecast of windchill tomm morning of -10 to -20 is a reason to jump up & down screaming HECK YA!!!

B-cons wind chill does not make ice thicker ...wind chill is a effect ...makes it "feel as" if is not a tempture
I fished gp this morning. Decent ice about 6", BUT ONLY striaght out ie due north of the docks! Most locked up a bit, but you can't venture any farther than 80 or so yards west of the docks. Cracks & open water all over the rest of the pond. It's impossible to get on at the elms, there was NO ONE there. I took a couple pics will post later.
But how was the bite...?At least it was :icefish: :icefish: ??? ??? ??? ???
But how was the bite...?
Oh yeah... did someone fall through in front of the Wigwam yesterday???I heard they did, but dkdn't want to spread rumors. Unfortunately I have personally witnessed at least 1 a yr falling through the last 4 yrs.? None witnessed this yr. & I'd rather keep it that way, but with these conditions, i dunno
I can't believe (including the wife) I have not been out on the ice yet. I'm really hoping for this weekend, but won't go unless I can get to my honey hole. Never seen it it like this, but then again the past 4 years on the pond have been great. :)I hear you Iceman...trying to come up with some new " Honey Holes". The early perch catch at GP was pleasantly surprising. After fishing into late November I am waiting to get my " Pond Sand Blasted Prop" back so I can prepare for the early Ice out and getting to my old spots!
btw someone else was fishing your spot also with a frabill, I fished 40 yards north of there.
To Big Bucks and the EPDBA Eastern PA Deaf Bass Anglers, I am awfully sorry we could not get our first Annual 2 man tournament in this year, at the same time salute you for your decision not to place multiple team competitors in harms way. I know you have worked tirelessly to bring this event to the pond and for several years you and your staff have brought quality fishing tournaments to the fore not only at the pond, but Oneida lake as well. The opportunities you bring to your membership are legend and I can only repeat how sorry I am the weather did not cooperate with you this year. As you have said , next year we can redouble our efforts to bring about a successful 2 man tournament and to make it bigger and better than we anticipated for this year.
To the great sponsors and contributors to the tournaments success, EPDBA members and spokesmen will be in contact to return unused certificates and prizes. We thank you for your selfless contributions and pray you will again next year renew your commitments to the First Annual 2 man Perch tournament At sandy Pond.
munson the whole area is nice a mix of great sporting opportunitys mixed with very nice people .Very true This morning while checking out the north shore of Oneida lake, We ran into a guy coming off the ice at Constantia. Within 2 minutes, I felt like we felt like we knew him all of out life. He gave us great information on where to go and even offered us some GPS waypoints where he fished this morning. Before the conversation ended, he packed up his 3 walleyes and 15 of the 30 perch he had and gave them to my wife and I. And that was right after he handed me a bunch of cool jigs and dropper rigs that he uses.
hey just wondering why not a 2 man open water event???????

He refused any thanks or payment for the tackle. He just said, enjoy our lake and take care of it as if it was your own. I'm still a bit stunned ! I handed him a card with my number on it and offered to take him out to lunch or dinner whenever he wanted. He shot back with Coffee is my friend ! See you on the ice and off he went !
We're loving this area more each minute !

Munson, your encounter with a good fishing Samaritan warms my heart. Maybe not all your encounters will be that kindly. It is, however, truly indicative of the type of fisherman we should all try to emulate. I too have been blessed with many such acts of kindness and the act of paying forward has been part of my ice fishing career. Kudo's to the fisherman who gave you such gifts , of time and knowledge. I pray his positive impact on you will come full circle and that way, you will know your future kindnesses will return to him and us all in full measure.The impact that we felt yesterday won't be forgotten ! The wife and I had an absolutely great time on Oneida this morning because of the straightforward lake information and tips on how to use the lures and jigs. We cut 6 holes in a spot where we were told to go with the help of the GPS. We never moved from the first 4 holes we cut. The fish were there, the weather was good, we had a blast and will definitely try to be more helpful to fellow fishermen or women in the future.
Kurt , Are you PA guys still coming up? It is getting harder to find a safe piece of ice to fish on. Last week end was a bust at 3 mile as the open water had reclaimed a full half of the bay and lightly froze back over with a thin ice layer denying us access to our previous spot, unless we brought our boat HA HA. I know Big Buck is coming up with Vince and I am not quite sure where to direct them as I am now a week end warrior like everyone else. I will keep an eye out on the weather and would like some good updated info to put them in a good spot. Eddy has a secret Waldo sanctuary and I can not tell under fear of death, in fact he is going to blind fold me when we go. I told him to have no fear as I already drive by the braille system . PA guys, check the ice conditions for a good spot this week end. I am sure I will get some feed back on this.boogey we will not be up this year we have good ice at home for now so we will be back to the winners circle next year lol .
, well I don't know if you could call waiting at the end of his driveway in the morning and following him to the lake and parking descreetly down the street and following his travels with binoculars "getting lessons";D too funny
Thanks bcons

wert is it getting clear what were telling you yet????
I'm just repeating what I was just told by someone fishing out there right now.
"There's 3" of ice."
There's a measurement for ya...
For those asking about the ice. I posted the pic below (along with several others) last week.:clap: :bow: :clap: :bow: :clap: :bow: :clap: :bow: :clap: :bow: :clap: :bow: :icefish:
This pic was taken after one of the coldest nights we've had in a while, but the snow fell later that morning a couple hours before I took the pic.
See all the open water? If it wouldn't lock when it was near zero do you think it's all that good now?
Gee, we haven't had a continuous stretch longer than 24hrs, with below freezing temps since, we have however had 2 days of rain, 2 days of bright sun & 40+
I fish there a lot, I'm nutz and do some stupid stuff, this weekend however I went somewhere else.
Get the picture?
There will always be some locals that either live on or spend everyday on that ice that may be out, however if you have to ask conditions, you probably don't know it well enough to be out there.
That pic was the Elms normally one of the more crowded spots, it was taken last Sunday at 1pm. Have you ever seen it COMPLETELY empty in the middle of the day on the weekend, on a very cold day in the middle of Feb?
Why do you think that is?
Anyone?

Hey guys, I got an idea that may cut down on the "how thick's the ice?" I noticed there was not a sandy pond thread on the Reports and conditions board. I just started one. Put all ice thickness reports there and then if some one asks, direct them to the R&C board.
here it is:
http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=221901.0 (http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=221901.0)
This way, you can continue all chatting here hopefully with out getting "how thicks the ice?" every 5 posts. ;D

Tom, are you telling me the honey hole is now honey hill? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:Jim, It's getting close, but with the recent run off at least we are making a little headway...
Water level should be coming up with all the runoff from the snow melt coming down little sandy...
Yes they can. That brings about an interesting question. If the lake level remained the same and the ice formed basically trapping the fish in or out of the pond, would that kill the fishing as compared to other years? I would note the outward flow of water as it exits the cut on the sandy shore line is still quite voluminous meaning that our tributary is most likely doing its job to add to the volume of water in the lake proper. The problem is that controlling or operational factors by the powers that be have" let too much water out of the bath tub" to simplify the explanation. It would be interesting to hear others chime in on this subject.Boggey the outside of the channel on the lake side never totally locks up due to currents coming in and out and the normal 30mph west wind and 12ft waves lol so I don't think we have to worry about it locking the fish in or out. The ice from the lake side is actually what changes the the pattern of the channel every year.
And believe it or not we have had water this low before. the boat slip behind my camp still has about 6" of water in it, in years past I have seen it where it has gone out 20yds before the water starts. We will be fine just have to fish a little further out than normal.Finally , a good story ;D
Finally , a good story ;D
The channel all closed up doesnt help. There are sandbars all the way across for crying out loudnot bad ;D
I bought the navionics app for my phone today and at first glance it looks like it has a lot of detail on the pond map. Should be a great tool out there this year.on a side note John and Bob are the two best that we have.
Hunt, I figured you were sick of guys following you around.... ;D Forecast is looking better. I can't wait!!!
Just cut the depths in half for this year do to the drought.
Wow I knew it was low, I didn't think it was that bad. Fish will still be there. Hopefully she freezes for us before the end of January.

Works great, and I don't have to pay $150 for the chip and carry a $150-$400 gps. I always have my phone.
Won't be too long boggey before you're walking on water. Even sooner with a little planning.Smooooothhh talkin...butter man! :woot: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :icefish:
I recently had a discussion at work about our up coming expansion to the north country.
I explained from now until new years would be the best time, since it doesn't look like I'll have to drive through lake effect snow.
Told the office staff, since most guys don't start till 9am & it's such a long drive no appointments till afternoon. Considering I wake up between 3-4 everyday, what's one to do between Watertown & Massena from Sunrise to noon? ??? :whistle: :whistle:
After the 1st of the yr since that nasty lake effect & horrible winter driving ::) sets in I need to stay closer to home. I explained from then till March I would need to focus alternating days between the Sandy Creek/Adams Ctr. area & from Constantia to Verona.
Told them "We just have to work around mother nature" ::) Well thats my story & I'm sticking too it.
There is great joy in mudville tonight. Look at that forcast. Off hand, I would sayTthursday could be walk on hardwater day.I will be 20' behind you with the lasel! ;D
Might as well extend hunting season till things lock upTompkins county Jan 12-Jan 31 two doe every day just have to register. Go to NYDEC web sight search DMFA take ya about 15 min
Franky, I know you and the Cap'n can pretty much name your own hours. Keep me posted if you beat me to the ice will you? I def have to work Wed as I have a bid going inSaturday is the grand opening for me and the capt.
locking up
is there still fish in sandy pond
nope :whistle:Lets pray it didn't lock too well. Lake effect appears to be pounding the pond. Low teens next few nights, so I hope any snow has sank.

She locked up last night I heard, if it snows like they say, its doomed, would of been better if it was open water for this storm...
just wondering what the water levels are like on the pond i know they were so low i couldn't get my boat out the channel to the lake this summer. if it is still that low i'm just wondering what that will do to the fishingGoing to have to drill a hole, bait a hook put the vex in and find out. The salmon had no problem gettig to the tribs from the lake. Last i new salmon are alot bigger than perch lol. The pike, crappie, and gills didnt go anywhere. I like to think with the lack of fishing preasure last winter there should be some fishing this season. Rip their lips off, stay safe
Go get em T-DOG! Im starten up on monday @)

this is why i did not go this weekend. i will wait another week. i also did not waste $100.00 in gas to go up north looking for a place to walk on 1"-2" of ice with 15" of snow for a dink perch. maybe next weekend it will be better ::) ::) ;D
Someone went thru in Renshaw today .... stay off for now guys .

Send him first, just tie a rope around his neck so you can yank him out if he goes in.
Someone said they stood on chaumont yesterday... Can't imagine they were that far from shore...
I wasn't, but this morning I'm gonna be...Be carefull :-\ :-\
Was out far enough where I could set tip ups if I chose to with relative safety.
Ice was spider cracking and flexing but I was jumping up and down and the ice didn't give way.

Yeah all the Fulton comments go away after the ice is here. Nobody likes to admit that a Fulton native out fished them :icefish: :icefish: :icefish:Yeah those Fulton natives can really put a hurting on the Browns over in Lake Neatahwanta. :icefish:
Seriously, what is the problem with Fulton? Is it the radioactive lake? The bridge project with no end in sight? The abundance of ugly women? At least they have a Tractor Supply and Walmart. I don't know why everyone rags on them. Oh and don't forget they have Cayuga Community College, located in Oswego Co. You all don't give them enough credit.
You forgot to mention the fact that DOT slowed the speed limit & put in traffic lights on 481, so we could all enjoy the free scenery. Its like a drive through safari with no cover charge.
Can't you hear little billy in the backseat hollering "look daddy it's a real Troglodite! Thats what I wanna be for halloween."

I met HT at Gander earlier in the month and think he is great...I just can't believe he hasn't gone postal on his buddies :oMet him a few years ago at AOL after the flood. He's a good A...can take it as well as dish it...check the archives!
You can fish with me anytime HT... ;D
AW
geeze guys you are making me blush ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) man i could go for a fresh walleye sand wish right about now ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You've got to catch one first. You cant keep taking handouts from fillet and snagger because they catch over their limits every time
I met HT at Gander earlier in the month and think he is great...I just can't believe he hasn't gone postal on his buddies :oHim go postal? Youve only seen his innocent side, he had to behave at gander. Ask poor wittle chief about his other side. ::) hmmm he'll get ya as soon as ya get out of your truck. I made the mistake of being late couple yrs ago & telling him I stopped at dunkin d's for coffee........ I merely got my stuff out and said "whats up" boy o boy ht & his man crush jumped all over me. Didn't get 10 yards off the beach before catching more crap than most get in a day..... Something about making everybody late cause I was too busy trying to bribe some digusting chick with doughnuts.

KP was late last year also. his limit was on the ice when he finally made it out to where i was ;) ;D
The name "bacon grease" was born the same day, although you woulda thought chief had a bullseye tatooed on his forehead for the next 6hrs.
3 things in this life you are never to be late for. #1 work/#2 church and #3 fishing. i always skip # 2 so that only leaves 2 things never to be late for. anyone that has fished with me many times knows that i am never late and i dont wait for anyone. that is why i have my own gear and transportaion. KP was late last year also. his limit was on the ice when he finally made it out to where i was ;) ;D
belive it or not we coach him through a limit - he must have picked that up from[ wee man ]
Him go postal? Youve only seen his innocent side, he had to behave at gander. Ask poor wittle chief about his other side. ::) hmmm he'll get ya as soon as ya get out of your truck. I made the mistake of being late couple yrs ago & telling him I stopped at dunkin d's for coffee........ I merely got my stuff out and said "whats up" boy o boy ht & his man crush jumped all over me. Didn't get 10 yards off the beach before catching more crap than most get in a day..... Something about making everybody late cause I was too busy trying to bribe some digusting chick with doughnuts.bcons, she wasn't disgusting was she??? C'mon HT...have some compassion...he just wanted to show her the old charmer in the swell! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Bet it felt good to knock the rust off !!!!! I was going to go today .... too much fun last night tho ..... Happy New Year :thumbsup:
I just got done fishing off of the wigwam... One 10" perch and five other shorts... Ice was fine... I measured anywhere from 2-3 of decent ice under about 3" of white... Some spots were still seperated in closer to shore. Spudded all the way out to the buoy and it started to get sketchy. Stay off the snow covered areas as they were still a bit soft on top... I weigh 230 and it never cracked once... There were a couple of people in shacks out off of eddies in front of the beaver dam as well... By this weekend it might start to get crowded. The fishing better pick up...
There were spots where my spud blew through in one shot...use caution over there.
dandy perch Pa CRM
now that its ice on does that mean no more love from yawl or more of it. dont no yawl but get a kick outa yawl love and respect for each of ywal keep it up. jeez i hope yawl isnt a fulton wordYawl is a boat... actually a sailing craft. don't need a boat/yawl for ice fishing. yawl is good for soft water fishing ;) ;D or looking for treasure :woot:

You gonna be out this weekend skipper? :tipup:Sunday possibly
I will probably be out there most of the day tomorrow....where do you pay to park there? I usually go out of the elms or wigwam so im not sure...There is a drop box on the door to the marina right next to the launch. Good Luck

Nice and cold tonight my friends.... ;D
I heard gp raised there parking fee.
I heard gp raised there parking fee.That sucks ??? I hear theres talk of a state boat launch going in on sandy pond. This will put a hurtn on the price gouging to parking at greens point and other areas.
That sucks ??? I hear theres talk of a state boat launch going in on sandy pond. This will put a hurtn on the price gouging to parking at greens point and other areas.There has been talk of that for quite a few years now. It however has been put on hold because our state has no money....
Anyone with ice reports for gp and the elms.
Just called the marina... They say 4-6 but it could be different any where you walk. I'm there tomorrow for sure after tonights cold snap.... Just hope the fishings better...
Dogger ill be up there around 745.
Goood... Has anyone heard how the fishing has been? I went to the wiggie yesterday and it was small dink fest with one 10" perch....Its always dink fest over there...
yep... lol
Hows the pike bitethey open their mouth really wide, then slam it shut really fast.
Fat Nancy's just said someone fell through at GP... can anyone confirm? I was out yesterday and it was OK.... WTH >:(Entirely possible, hope they're ok.
RJ, haven't heard too much from you this year. Hope you hit them tomorrow. I am working tomorrow. Would love to join you and cusefan but duty calls. You two shouyld hook up tomorrow . PM one another. How is school going? Stay safe. Boggey

SandyPond is ready? HELL YEAH!
Eeeaazy...
Believe it or not the county has a free boat launch next to the Sandy Pons Steakhouse aka Wigwam. They can't charge you for launching your boat but they can charge you for parking. My son did a survey of all publicly owned waterfront land in Oswego county.That is correct the steakhouse doesn't own the launch they own the parking lot and the docks.. lol
Maybe you should take a ride and check it probie... Cheeks out!!! @)tell him Jack !
Sandy pond is not safe enough to bring children out yet!!! I hope this is good enough info. ADULTS..... ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. Is that spelled ourt correctorly enourghf ? :-\I hear you there. My kids are getting mad at me for going fishing with out them. I can imagine how they feel because they like to fish as much as I do. But I told them they have to be patient.
Is Feb 23rd the Sportsmens Club Derby? Anyone else have other dates for Derbies this year on the Pond? Unfortunately I wont be up this weekend, that work thing gets in the way again. Hopefully the ice stays and stiffens up a bit by next week. If I've learned nothing else about this pond, its unpredictable.No the sportsmans derby is presidents day weekend The Christine Reed derby held at the club is feb 23rd. I should have the master list of pond derbies soon.
Franky, Don't forget the 2 man tourny on Feb 2nd. You and the Capn still hooked up for that? Thank God it looks like we will get a tournament or two in this year on the pond . However early, word is the first 12 guys out their already caught the first 50 fish and there aren't too many left, so you better not fish there. Ain't no fish there anyway. Water's too low, the cut is closed, not enough ice, too much snow on the ice, a lot of gas pockets, cost too much money to park and last there ain't no fish in there anyway. Better drive up to Chaumont or Black Lake or 3mile Bay. Drowndin Dots is going to carry me in the2 man tournament and if there are 20 fish left in the Pond he and I will catch them for sure. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;DSo long as work permits bud . I got called back to my commercial job ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D But time off is now a problem for fishing ..... Hey , may need you to supervise the basement project after all now ;)
heard today that someone and their four wheeler went in today?that sucks
Hey skipper have you been out on the pond yet?? hows the night bite?havent been on the pond yet. I want to get after the infimous pappermouth.
heard today that someone and their four wheeler went in today?A 4 wheeler out there today ??? Thats real intelegent is it not. People need to use some common sense >:( Really ???
heard today that someone and their four wheeler went in today?
Wow, genius! Hope everyone is okay.
That sucks that you are laid up Scott. i could use a Camera Man tomorrow. the last intelagent move i watched someone do up there was drilling a hole out by the open water by the cut. the ice broke away and the guy took off running for shore and left his auger floating away sticking straight up and down out of the floating chunk of ice. Un Real ??? ::) ::) ::)
Glad I am not going to part of tomorrows rat race...be safe everyone...

thinking about going tomorrow... dont like this early ice at all but been chompin at the bit ... thinking about going out wigwam or gp. heard gp was kinda sketchy still. anybody been to both? got any suggestions? buddy of mine was on gp the other day and said there was 6-9 inches (way more than anyone else said there was) thought that was a bit far fetched but everyone measures things a different way i guess :P usually more than there really is. thinking if i can get a few more ice reports from today it will give me a better idea about where i wanna go... or if.
Can anyone give info as to parking on sandy pond. Never fished it not asking for your honeyhole just a place.to access.The pond. Thanks
I had Elms in my original reply that didn't post...there is only 1 place on the pond that will get my money anyway... ;D
Gee I wonder where that is? ??? ::) ::)
Since I'm working right now :%$#!: I might have to try MY night perch spot this evening. :P
Has anyone heard the ice conditions for henderson harbor there is no report on it in reports and conditions
how was the bite on gp today? slow for us at the wigwam.
I asked a question, why is no one answering ???
I'll answer Bcons. Fished from the elms. Had my slowest day ever on the pond. Moved all over the place. From 13' to 6'. Dink after dink. Everyone I talked to same thing. Ice has softened considerably and was raining/wet snow/sleating when I left at 2pm. AdkRoy, I know you have a giant frowny face guy... that would describe today.(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w106/Ctollner/frowny-face_150.jpg)
Was going to make the trip up there tomorrow but would only have maybe 4.5 hrs to fish b4 I would have to leave to get kids off the bus. With all the reports of slow fishing maybe I will work on my new jet sled mods and wait for Oneida to freeze up for my weekday fishing runsHey man , I have a couple options for you to chase flags with the kids on safe ice , PM me if you are interested .
Wigwam today. 26 Perch and 10 gillys about 2 1/2 3" of ice. If you want fish go to black lake. Plus the ice was melting today you could see it. I seen cracks with about a half inch gap of just water but it was good enough for me. I'd say wait a weak to go out again it's warming up.Fishing wasn't any better up North today. Ice was going fast with straight rain all day. Snow/sleat started just below Chaumont.
No fish in the pond this year, your wasting your time and money.
me and my son Tyler fished GP this morning also. i did my best to stay away from the crowd. fishing was slow over all but all we were looking for was a decent meal. 4-5" of decent ice with some slush pockets ;)Nice HT...yessir, that's a meal! :thumbsup:
of course had to catch a stink log ::) ::) ::) ::)
Nice looks like you had a good time HT! That one gill is a beauty!Hey Cheif ----i like your new location ::) ::) ??? really ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D as for you P.E.T.A People out there. those fish in the last picture i posted have already been cleaned/ breaded /cooked and eaten ;) ;) ;D ;D need some more now ;D ;D ;D

but yes there is no fish in the pond.... just give it time and try new things and new area sandy pond is big and if you can gain legal access to the south pond do it! im not greedy ill tell ya the south pond is the place to be

A guy your size can just filet the leftover fatheads in the bait bucket & you'll be all set.
Been full of optimistic remarks so far Murph? That's exactly what anglers want to read on a forum.
So I have a theory.....Either your success fishing the pond has been so horrible, or your simply just playing the guy that thinks he can play mind games. Neither work bud. The pond has both good and bad days, just like any other piece of water. Here is a pic or two of a happy day at the pond. last year.

First time I took the wife and son out to GP. They both were successful.
well sometimes you have to go where there is ice , and if you don't fish it why bother to comment , I wish Oneida was on but until then i will chase the ice no matter where it leads me from the pond to where ever
Anyone going out there today? I was thinking of taking the boy after school, maybe to The Elms, am I wasting my time, for the Ice I mean. I'm always wasting my time on fish. ;). Be careful I was there yesterday and I ice was getting pretty bad. I was breaking through the slush ice into the black that was only 2" thick. FYI I'm 140lbs. If you go out I wouldn't go more that two yards out. He safe.
I went out of green point yesterday and caught one beautiful pike and two decent ones. I also had 3 break offs at the hole from really nice pike.... the jigging was very sloooow though. I did catch a few keeper perch on the tip ups as well.
Fish it all you want, i know i wont be, to each his own.
just confirmed makiplastics will be at newyork sportsman show this weekend at src arena on occ campus jan.11-13
I finally got a PM from Goonboy. The ever illusive ghost like apparition that silently comes and goes. Who stealthily wanders here and there , casting a huge shadow over his fishing compadres. He, Goonboy has informed me he will again be skating across the ice at a pond, a lake, a bay or even a river near you soon. He hasn't chosen his partner yet for the Sandy Pond 2 man tournament on the 2nd of Feb. He had been scanning the halls of academia hoping to unlock the science of cloning so as not to have to share the first place tourny money with anyone else. Alas, he has informed me he has chosen to pay the 2 man tourny fee by himself and to move swiftly, silently, deftly, to and fro as if to become 2 men in one. Ah, mastering the art of deception he, Goonboy will be ready for the fray.
Jim... whatever ya have that makes a man go on a writing tangent, that only the people that know you and your personality well enough to make me write this sentence. Please help all the other readers of this post not to make the same fishing excuses...or other non exclusive reasons to make simple reasons to make Goon have to fish that dang pond. Whew........Now try to figure out what I just said???? ;)Lance, where you late this morning, or did you walk to work? ??? :unsure:
Dear Fish Maechanic,JBoggey1, that is a good question. He has three good buddies that he likes to fish with...Lefty, Righty, and Shorty!!! :woot: :woot: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :icefish:
By the way, who are you teaming up with for the 2 man?
Dear Fish Maechanic,Better be coach... or im not gonna show him how to catch walleyes from shore anymore :woot:
And I thought I was convoluted!!! :D :D :D :D
What some people won't do to promote a fish tourney, EH? By the way, who are you teaming up with for the 2 man?

Yes FM, but can she fish as well as Coach? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;DShe sure is prettier ;D And a whole lot more fun in the shanty I'll bet :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: ;)2
My team mate this season is definately my wife Jim......She is all set to go... Sorry Coach.The only reason for that is...I believe...is that she is not yet on IS...so when she outfishes his butt, we won't find out about it for some time! :woot: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :icefish:
She sure is prettier ;D And a whole lot more fun in the shanty I'll bet :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: ;)2
As far as the other goes I'm not so sure. FM and Coach spend ALOT of time together. ;) ;DGAWD!...Lets hope not! :whistle: :woot: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :icefish:
Yes FM, but can she fish as well as Coach? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;DO yea she can fish... you boys better buckle your chin straps! ;D They will probably win the Tourney , if FM can just catch a fish or two :woot:
That isn't saying much. ;D As far as the other goes I'm not so sure. FM and Coach spend ALOT of time together. Not judging just sayin... ;) ;D:woot: :woot: :woot: :nono: :nono:
word homie!! ;D :afro:
GOONIE has nothing........ :P
Pondskipper, you and the capn have been unusually quiet . You guys out there doing some of that nite fishin?Still here obseving every bit of info I can. Hopefuly theres ice for the team tourny. We hungry for the gold metal. We are waiting until next weekend to do the day time thing.
What's up all u pond gooooons
Pondskipper, I heard those Pennsylvania IS guys think they are going to win the 2 man tournament this year. As I remember Kurt and Bigbuck were the only 2 that even cut the leader board, right?.Booggery1 Team is championship of Dink Perch on King of Sandy Pond :clap: :thumbsup: :woot: Me Me Me :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: on :icefish:
Just got back from the pond. Went out at The Steak House. Ice wasn't too bad in the morning. Got real iffy by noon. Caught dinks and 2 slime logs. Lost three lures to 3 other slime logs. Didn't put anything in the freezer. Should have listened to bcon. There were 5 other idiots besides myself. I would not go out again on that ice again. Lucky to get back without getting wet. Let's see what Monday night does for the ice. I'm not sure it will last through the day on Monday unless it gets a little colder tonight. I talked to some guys at the steak house who fished GP. They had more ice but no fish. I will post On ice reports as well.Did you ever go North Jimmy ?
No Eddy, I will check conditions up at Chaumont for Tuesday. I'm looking for some company. You game?What am I chicken . I never get the invites anymore.
Pondskipper, I heard those Pennsylvania IS guys think they are going to win the 2 man tournament this year. As I remember Kurt and Bigbuck were the only 2 that even cut the leader board, right?.i was up this weekend to install some cameras to keep an eye on ya boggie so i know ware not to fish ha ha he he.
ADK will you stop me before I hurt myself?
Where the heck do you PA guys find places to ice fish. Are you up in the mountains? Bigbuck is showing me some king sized crappy in his emails as well. .Jim, yes we are in the mountains...Jerimiah Johnson and Zeb McCahon live here :woot: There were some spots that were ok last week...I haven't looked today yet but there can't be much...if any...ice left on most ponds. I didn't make it out last week but did check a pond last Sunday...maybe 3" of white...not good for me.
Someone should bring Al Gore out on the pond to see the trouble he invented. Maybe I should have my kids call HIM and bug him about not having enough ice.:clap: :clap:Hey...don't forget the internet...we all wouldn't be here if it wasn't for 'Ol AL! ::) ::) ::) :cookoo: :cookoo: :icefish:
:clap: :clap:Hey...don't forget the internet...we all wouldn't be here if it wasn't for 'Ol AL! ::) ::) ::) :cookoo: :cookoo: :icefish:
Not an Al Gore fan however if you're telling me that we all remember 20 or 30 yrs ago when the ice was 12 -15 " by now and were driving vehicles onto the ice and now we will be lucky to have ice by the end of June I would have to say that Climate change is real. Why that is I do not know but we don't have ice and that seems to be a trend not an anomaly.Global warming/climate change/weather pattern changes have been here LONG before we got here and they will keep on going...for many reasons...not just what Gore and others tell us...and it all won't be fixed by what they are telling us we should do. Whatever happens, we just have to make the best of it...there are no magic wands.

Xc,
The Eastern PA Deaf Bass Fishermen use this tournament to provide seed money for their own in house tournament for there members only tournament. These guys (BigBuck and Vince ) work there tails off and put on a great tournament to promote the greater icefishing community and to promote their organization serving not only PA members but parts of New Jersey and New Yoyk as well. Anything we can do to assisst them and the work they do with in there organization is greatly appreciated and worthwhile. Hope you will grab a partner and try to beat me and Drowndin Dots who plan on taking first place.
:icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish:
Yup perchpounder.
That was me. I was drillin holes on my way out and I stayed on the black ice. I was pretty comfortable on the way out, but noticed how fast the ice was deteriorating, as i said it was a scary walk back in. I noticed you were a little smarter than me and left the ice about half an hour before me. As I said that was my first case of stupit this year. Did you guys do any better than I did? I was getting on the pike pretty serious.
Today, the North Pond is 90% open water.There will be 4-6 by next wkend, at least something to look forward too.
There will be 4-6 by next wkend, at least something to look forward too.I just took nxt friday off so maybe i can pop up there late morning and get some fish under my belt. Thats only if this cold puts some good ice on the pond
what is sandy most suited for gills, perch or crappie?
I am going to make a daring prognostication. The permanent Shanty will magically appear on the pond by Friday evening. Look at those temps for the coming week.The ol' silver side is making a grand entrance huh. We got the temps here but the winds won't settle to let the ice pile on...instead it's piling up.

Cusefan, you still euphoric over this one? Big win for the Orange. I celebrated by peeling one and of course draining all the juice out of it. Same with Triche, he drained them in the first half. Do you think they will take over #1?

2ft here too, now time to shovel it, was told shovel first, fish later.....ive got 4x4
#1 in the BIG EAST for sure.....Best game ive seen in a long time!!!!!! ;Dlol was good that they won but they should have blown Louisville out for god sakes they turned the ball over like 20 times or more. A win is a win though and an awesome 1 when its against the #1 team in the country
well i suppose i've been "lurking" long enough, time to post some so i can fully appreciate all iceshanty has to offer....so, "how's the ice??" lol(http://themetapicture.com/media/funny-otter-ice-cubes-cute.jpg)
MAKING OUR FIRTS TRIP UP THERE FOR ICE FISHING THIS WINTER. ANY ADVISE? WE WILL BE LEAVING FROM THE GREEN POINTAREAbring a snowblower :clap:
Thanks fishtank and new guys. You saved me a trip. No wind , no snow and we could have a real ice maker tonight. Don't worry Paperchound, we will have ice for the tournaent, just so I can take your money. Did you book your room yet?o ya we have them hope we can use them
Paperchound, Don't worry, I will give you a PM on Friday. Hope the wind does its job. I don't like the idea of trudging through fresh fallin snow. Below zero two nights in a row will make some ice even with 4 "s of snow on it. I don't want any excuses from you, get up here so I can spend your money when DrowndinDots and I win that Team tournament .:thumbsup:

Paperchound, Don't worry, I will give you a PM on Friday. Hope the wind does its job. I don't like the idea of trudging through fresh fallin snow. Below zero two nights in a row will make some ice even with 4 "s of snow on it. I don't want any excuses from you, get up here so I can spend your money when DrowndinDots and I win that Team tournament .o no excuses hear I will bring ya some money for a cold one but the winnings r going back to Pennsylvania!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O ya
Has anyone caught any keepers this year? I was up before ice blew out and after fishing all day had 2 keeper perch, 5 4" gills and watched on cam 3" fish all day.
We are supposed to head up from PA tomorrow. I called fat nancy's this morning and they said don't bother there is still open water. Let me know if you have been out to check the ice today. Ive got my fingers crossed.Your first mistake was calling fat nancy's... The whole pond is locked, though I have not been out to measure the ice...

I won't take up your time on finite Ice conditions. I posted to days travails on the ice conditions page for Sandy Pond. I will tell you it was a low bite day, did I say a low bite day? I meant a no bite day. Honestly, 4 hours of drilling holes and talkin smack with my new friend Roy. Hey! all was not lost, I made a new friend and while it was cold it was never the less a beautiful day playing hooky from work. I'm not sure about that old addage (A bad day fishing sure beats.................)
:icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish:
Better you are there and know they are not biting then home wondering about it...
So i need someone to meet up with here in mexico or somewhere in order to fish with other humans.....i have never been out to sandy pond, so i have no clue where to access it from, and i really hate fishing with my imaginary fishing buddy(he catches all the big ones). Would really like to hang out with a fellow ice fisherman from this area!Oh boy, i need to learn to behave......other humans?
I saw earlier that Jboggey1 mentioned having to make a certain amount of posts in order to see the conditions page, does anyone no more about this. I would like to see the conditions without having to bug all of you. I have a 2 hr drive to get to the pond and would like to know whether or not to bring my equipment with me. Thanks for the help
Thanks Cuse, where will I see the report? Is it back on the main page or here o the Sandy Pond thread? Go SU, another win tomorrow over Villanova would be nice!
Yeah you need to keep posting, just rattle off a few back to back till you can see the condition reports. Thnk you need 4 or five.
Honestly I have talked to a few people that have been up there since the refreeze and I can tell you that I'm going to find ice elsewhere tomorrow. I trust Boggey and a few of the other guys. If you head up there becareful and spud your way out. Stay dry!
Click on "New York" in Blue just below the last Post on the page and then select "Reports & Condition" option rather than the "Ice Fishing New York" which we are on now. I'm a little challenged on this stuff too so hopefully I explained it well enough".
Hey BlueTickChick gotta say its good 2 see not all ladies think us guys are nuts 4 sittin on tha ice all day with our poles in a cold wet hole! ;D wish I could convince my wife 2 come fishing wit me!! :'( U are a rare breed!
south pond is deep and s l o w to freeze over. be extremely careful if u venture out there.
Reel Greens testimony is proof, with a little patience you can still lure them up through the ice. I never gave much credence to the low pressure/high pressure or high pressure descending theory, but something does happen. As I do not possess a VEX or Marcum, as most of you know I am pretty old school. I do however fish with friends who do have them. I have set over some swarming schools of perch, thick as flies, and couldn't get a nibble. You might get them to rise, to look, but not to bite. I will leave the reasons to you and others. This year, of the three times I went out on the pond , I fared well the first time out and ran into two of those no bite days. With that I like those odds and the knowledge they are still down there, I will again make the trek out there this afternoon and see if I can't get to the honey hole today. Late start, but hope to see you there and Kudo's Reelgreen for getting your son out and away from the gameboys, tv and reality shows. Kudo's for you are creating his and your reality, together. God Bless.Thank you JBoggy1 I my self dont use any electronics . Several tactics went into play to figure them out . My boy Tyler and I are Ice fishing addicts Ive been fishing the pond for 40 plus years ! Thanks again and have a good bite :)
Don't know where to begin. I got home about 5:30 from the pond and GP . Fished the whole day. It was a beautiful day wasn't it everyone? It was made much more precious to me because I was joined by my grandsons who didn't have a wrestling tournament a basketball game, a girl friend or any other diversion more important than their GrandPa. Can't tell you how fast they grow. They are becoming young men, 10 and 13 years old respectively. A far cry from the boys I first brought out on the ice 5 years ago. Some difference as they are now more independent thinking , less likely to laugh at poppy's same old corny jokes. It's hard to come up with new age appropriate comedic shtick, but I keep trying. I guess i will just have to resolve it was not the corny jokes, wasn't the breakfast at McDonalds the lunch at the Steakhouse or the multitude of fish we didn't catch. Maybe, just maybe, they might enjoy spending time with their Poppy as much as I enjoyed being with them. I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I'll take every precious moment as it comes, when it comes. Did I tell you it was a great day.Jim, they don't get any better than that!!! :thumbsup: :icefish:
True Hardwater. It is suprising all the memories they have retained of our previous years. We had as many laughs of past times as we did the new memories we created. They sure are growing up faster than I wanted them to. Oh well time and tide for no man wait. It is their time.Yes it is...but it is also your time too...your just in a different frame...enjoy!!! Remember, there may be times like TommyBoy mentioned above...you'll have that...sometimes nothing less than firecracker in their shorts will get em moving! LOL We were all there at one time or another!

My little sister has started to get into fishing and goes hunting with my brother all the time, she says she is going to shoot a bigger buck than all of us when she can finally hunt :)
Don't worry Stu45, we will have a tournament this week end. I spoke to Bigbuck last night and gave him my report after wandering the pond and GP yesterday . True, the pond is really iffy out beyond the chunk ice and the rain may deteriorate the ice beyond the lateral cracks. I can't really predict how much damage the warm rain will do, but I am reasonably sure we will have sufficient ice on Green Point to do the Team Tournament. Also it looks like we will get 2 nights below 20 degrees after the warming to re consolidate the ice. It may not be enough to rebuild the big pond , but Green point will, I predict hold up well. That may be a blessing in disguise, Now I can keep an eye on that Paperchound and his dad to find out where he is catching those ringers. Green Point is Pondskippers and Cap'n Hooks home water, they will have a big advantage. Good news, BigBuck and Vince will be lost over there, They will be out of it. Can't tell about Cusefan and Matt. They are both sleepers. Drowndin Dots is going to carry me. He told me I only have to catch 5 and he will pick up all the big ones. Lance thinks he is going to sneak up on us by fishing with his wife this year. Judging by all the comments I am getting it will be a real challenge this year. This tournament will separate the wheat from the chaff. (notice how politically correct that was) every sinew in this old grizzled body wanted to write (men from the boys) but I have daughters , grand daughters, and a great grand daughter who have taken me to school on the subject. I am now officially gender neutral. So Stu45, fret not there will be a team tournament come heck or high water. That "heck" was for you ADK. I know you are over worked as it is. Stu 45 bring a friend and teach us know-it-alls how to catch fish will you? I am looking for some more committments here Who are some of the other teams? Chief, who did you tie up with? lthis is the paperchhounds dad im new hear so bare with me lol i dont think we r going to make it this weekend >:( but we r looking at coming up the 16 hope to talk to ya
Cusefan,
You want to put that trophy up for grabs? Winner take all. I sure would like to take the most highly coveted "King of the Pond" trophy from you. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
I agree. I won't be fishing in it this weekend because of the limited area we can fish.I feel the same , while I was on BB last night I could see the ice going to crud fast as the rain came down .
Kingfisher. Ice is good up in the isles. Was up twice this week and 75 jack perch first trip, 70 second. Good luck. Nothing but dinks and lousy ice on sandy.we didnt make it to L.O.T.I on monday due to the bad weather,hope to get there soon. sounds like u hit them good augie thanks for the info.
Thanks JBog, I guess I better make a few phone calls. And it will always be the Wigwam to some of us, no disrespect to the ladies, they have done great job with the place, but when you spent as much time there as we did in the day, it'll always be the Wigwam.
Yo, Sounds good. I would like to get you ,DD and Big Sunny together, Now there's trouble. Let's try to make it happen.
Perfect now we can win 2 tourniments in one day :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:You mean you can win 2 second places behind me an Gill ripper.
You mean you can win 2 second places behind me an Gill ripper.ya thats better than boggeys 4th :thumbsup:
ya thats better than boggeys 4th :thumbsup:Prepare to eat crow ;)2
WHERE'S THE GOON?? ;DI'm here Kp just sitting back and waiting for the right time too goon them haha :o ;D
Sorry guys, but the pond is wide open with white caps >:(
Can I get my boat on any where?
Chaumont hopefully....
A followup to all of us who were going to make a trip up to Chaumont this week end. Read the ice conditions and reports for Chaumont Bay and environs. There are some very good reports being given out by the very people who live and fish there.
You forgot the d :) its held................?????
For those that know the Pond much better than I do... given that it's open now, but that we've got a week full of temps below freezing, with some single digit lows, do you think it'll be locked up by next Saturday (the 9th)?Tough to say , check ahead . Lots of things could change between now and then .
How many posts do I need to get access to the conditions page??three (3)...you got it!!! :thumbsup:
Yo Chief,
Didn't realize that was you. It was a day devoted to the family. Had to get the grandkids setup for fishing. Never drilled a hole all day. Went shopping for the new shanty. Did you get on the ice? I actually fell to sleep before the super bowl and missed it. Rita bought a bunch of snacks so the only aspect of the super bowl I got to enjoy was the junk food when I woke up at 10:30. It's amazing how your value system changes as you get older eh?

Lance, I can't give you too much grief as I don't know if it's you and the wife or you and the Chief. Still, if you come over Friday night at the Steak House I got the first one. Besides that you were a co sponsor. Thanks bud.
:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
Who's teaming up for saturday? :icefish:
I keep hearing excuses about the slow bite and no perch I hope this doesn't scare you other teams away. :-[ :unsure: :wacko: :blink: I hope to see a good turn out be safe everyone. Good luck your going to need it.
Another tournament that day. Sandy Pond Sportsmans Association is holding a touney also. Plus at the club is a auger raffle and a walleye fishing trip with local pro Todd Frank .The 3 winners to determine the date to go in the first two Saturdays in June.I will be in that one too. That is a good tournament
Chris, Now that you've had your pipe dream, get ready for your worst nightmare. Team First Place will reign supreme. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup::roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :woot: :wacko: :woot: :wacko: :whistle: :blink:
Can you fish by yourself if you pay the $40?Yes you can ;)
That will make ADK very happy.
Any of you Onieda fishermen coming to the two man tourny.

ALL HAIL THE NEW KINGS OF THE POND ..... Me and Jimmy , Team 1st place :thumbsup:
Well the day started off rough , My auger guard failed yet again , 8 inch Nils , easily the worst guard on any auger ever . Slipped off and cut the rubber band that holds it on .... and my transducer cable to my Vex :'( .... So now I'm facing a whole day fishing old school >:( Actually I kind of enjoyed it to be honest ... not a habit I want to keep but it forced me to pay attention all the time , not just when I had a mark . And I did not get as discouraged when I saw no marks .
Like all great champions thru time , I overcame adversity and prevailed ;D ..... With a bit of help from Boggy :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: ;)2 after I felt I had a comfortable lead I called Lance to see how he was doing ..... He was stuck on 1 ::) ::) In the interest of sportsmanship I invited him and Carrie over , He spread the word to HT and Coach and we had ourselves a nice little group ! After we enjoyed a really nice victory dinner and drinks at SPSH , I had the Broiled Seafood Platter on Lance's recommendation , and it lived up to the hype ! Best piece of Haddock anywhere ;)

I fished GP today and caught about 30 perch. Of those about 15 nice ones above 8 inches and 2 at around 11 inches. I kept a few small ones due to deep hooks.
Congrats DD, that is great!Thanks ;D

Nice meeting a few of the ice shanty members out there during the derby. I had a terrible day, a plethora of issues plagues me from my jig rods, tip ups , to my shanty and a very very disagreeable team partner ( the wife). All in all i was glad i parked a good 20 minute walk to nearest toilet, that gave me 40 minutes or so of peace and quite, i love my wife, but i do not think she is an ice fisher that is positive. Still had a good time, awesome door prizes, and thanks to all the sponsors. Probably head out tomorrow on my own, just my auger, pail, and some lines. Thanks everyone who hosted the event and to all the participants! Congrats to everyone that won and are still cleaning fish!
Wow... I feel kinda bad for ya dude. My wife loves to fish on the ice with me. It's our "personal time" together away from the rest of the world.....including our children. ;D As a matter of fact, she made a comment to me (around a couple friends) on the ice this morning........regardi ng a comment I made and she "isn't on the ice to be a mans B!!tch, If someone wants to hear a woman gripe, then go home and listen to it" She was one of the dudes today......One thing I love about that woman. :bow: :bow: :wacko: :wacko:
We missed you bud. I really missed taking that prize money from you HAHA. The bite wasn't as good as past years, but with Eddy's help we managed to pull some decent perch out of the pond. It is getting tougher to stave you PA guys off but I can always bring in a ringer like Eddy to help me so watch out for next year..You are far too modest , were it not for you're efforts scouting none of it would have been possible .... Lisa is making Italian Wedding soup Is Rita working tonight ?
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Dont get me wrong, she did not complain once! But she did inform me that she would rather be baking or something, LOL. I am proud that she was my partner, just sorry i couldt put her on the fish like i did my friend friday, oh well! Taking my daughter out today, she will bring her ice skates, and hopefully i will fill my pail! Your wife did seem to be gunho, you guys looked cute it matching fishing bibs!
My 13 yr old daughter and i went out, brought the blood hound to tow the gear. It was nice about 12:30 one o'clock. We were fine unti i set up the shanty and the wind caught it with me inside! The hound was hooked up to her harness to the gear sled, my daughter had her hand in the loop of the leash , in between the hound and the sled. About 50 yards later i managed to work my gerber out and jam it into the ice as i was on my belly in the shanty, as I dug the gerber into the ice with ice chips flying in my face, i happened to see my blood hould hauling butt to "save"daddy, of course she was towing my daughter, and the jet sled. Needless to say, that was painfully funny! Once we got set up the weather changed and got cold. My daughter brought her skates, but decided to stay in the shanty. I put one trap out, my feet and a cloudy sky were the last thing i saw after setting it up, thought i might have broke my wrist. Anyway, get jigging in the shanty, pull up a nice fat perch, the daughter says "I think i have something". So she sets the hook on a 28 inch pike. I took over and got it in with my 24 inch jig rod, with no steel leader. Got another nice perch. After that nothing. Folded everthing up at 5 and got out of there.man that musta hurt. The cold was a real killer today thats for sure. We did c another guy pop his shanty up then go to tie it off to his wheeler and it musta sliped outta his had nxt thing ik he is chaseing his shanty . I lsughed do hard it hurt
Tommy and Josh, Now you guys know why I sit on a pail eh?It woulda been a brutal in that wind and cold. Plus ita been fun tring to keep the hole from freezeing dnt get me wrong i dnt mind sittin on a bucket. Ive done it in some bad weather . But not yesterday. I did wanna get on a bucket for those nice days but man it every time ive been out its been crappy
My boy and I fished the pond sunday....seems as though that pond gets worse every year. Used to be able to take the family out for the day and bring home 15-20 really nice perch. We didn't fish it at all last year, only been there once this year and will probably be the last time for awhile. I don't need big numbers, would like to see a few larger perch now and then!! The wind wasn't too bad sunday...just COLD!! Titelines to all!--KP @)Thanks Hommie ! Hit the ice a little further north my friend ;) ;) ;)
Congrats to DD and boggey on your derby win!! :thumbsup: :bow: WTG BOYS!!
North?...on the pond?..or, further north...like, in another county? ;D We fished all over that pond. hit all 12 waypoints I have stored from previous outings. We were on that spot, you mentioned when you texted me!! Funny how I already knew that spot ;)!! ;DSame county , different bay ;)

yep tommyboy just came back there is 6 to 8 inchs snow all over it dont need creepers ;D the bite was good today too
We just got back from the Tourny. Little booggey and Grand Pa. Little boggey got a bigger perch than Grand pa. In fact he took 2nd place in the children's division. And believe me, he didn't and won't let Grand Pa forget it , ever. A very proud young man with his trophy and prizes he won at the derby. All in all the Sportsman's Club put on a great tourny and the kids are truely filled with joy in all aspects of the competion. Thank you to the spotsmens Club, all the staff who donate there time and to Fish Tank for the countless hours they spend putting on this great tournament. I didn't place in any division, but I think I won first place with my grandson. A priceless chance to bond with my youngest grandson. Congratulations little Boggey.Thanks boggey. Had a great time today. Thanks to all that came out. I will post pictures and the official results tomorrow.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I saw you slayer on the ice with your husky, my daughter got a kick out of that.were you guys walking off when we were going out? I think i had alot of people looking :) he loves it, right full.of energy. Glad to hear the pond is picking up. Hopefully water levels will come back up some this year.
Is there ice on the pond??--KP ;DWhere are the perch biting ?????
Killed it at the pond last weekend.. Pike, Perch and Crappie
I hope the ice holds up through the week end. I want to get all the grand kids out this week end. Maybe do a cook out at the honey hole. Besides that , it should be a lot easier to make the drag out there, the grand kids are getting big enough to help grand pa.lJimmy , Been wondering what was up with you ! Lisa and I would like to join you if you go .... give a call ;D
TommyBoy, FYI, sometimes the sand from the dunes gets blown onto the ice. This will take the edge off your blades. I always carry an extra set with me. Been fishing there for years. Missed it this year.Very true , however don't worry you didn't miss much this year .
Eddy, Sorry to hearyYour lovely Lisa. Has THE SICKY POOS. As she is a great joy to you, I hope you know Rita and I enjoy her presence as well. (The greatest wedding soup maker in the world). You missed a great day.When and Where is this being served!??? :woot: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Tommy boy, it sounds like you had the same kind of day I have when you try to bring my family and friends together. I waited till 8:00 , my son and I trekked out to the " Honey hole ". Now, tongue in cheek (TIC), the reason we went in from the Elms is it is down hill from the Elms and uphill from the Steak house. While the honey hole is actually equidistant from either access port it is easier and faster to get there from the higher ground, albeit it is harder going back up hill., I chose to get there faster and damned the consequence of the up hill battle going back in. End of TIC. My grand daughter had a last minute sleep over with 2 schoolmates, which trumped grandpas promise of lots of fishing , grilled hamburgs, hot dogs, chips and coke.
And the high point of the day, I got to spend some man time with my eldest son, absent the grand kids. Realizing our collaborative efforts to do and be all things to our children . it was a welcome moment for both our us only briefly interrupted by phone calls reminding him of his evening calender. ( I hate those cell phones). In closing, while we reestablished that father son bond thing and told each other we loved the other, we also caught enough perch for our next family fish fry . All in all not a bad day on the ice I would say.
When and Where is this being served!??? :woot: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:I like soup! but i don't care much for weddings :woot:
LMAO!! ;D where do you come up with those coach??The Internet ::) you can find just about anything there ;D
I like soup! but i don't care much for weddings :woot:Geez, can't a guy beg for a bowl of Italian Wedding soup!? :woot: :thumbsup:
hows the pond looking at GP?
hang them in your freezor .i'll show ya how to fillet them taste as good as any walleye or perch i swear i had them on a buffet somewhere!
Was thinking of taking a ride to the steak house in the AM, would I be wasting my time?
Thank KP :thumbsup: :woot:Don't worry, Boggy and I will be gracious in victory ..... Again :woot: :woot: :woot: :flex:
KP Yawns!!!! Think I may have to try that tourney this year!! Been awhile since I won back to back!! ;D 12 years to be exact!! Good luck to you Eddie and Boggey! :P--KP @)

How are you doing bud? How did you do over at Irondequoit last month? I tried to get some info from rg for you. Anyway, about the water level in the pond. I greatly fear it is going to be much similar to last year. Per our last PM, I haven't announced to the general ice fishing community til now, but the Sandy Pond Steak House (Wig-Wam ) has closed. That won't however have any effect on the tournament I am in conversation with several entities to host the tournament this year. After Saturday meeting I will be able to give you and the Pennsylvania Deaf Bass Angler Committee a couple of choices. I hate to do our business online , but most people already know the Steak House has closed and were asking me about it. Thought I should get it out in the open. I will PM you with the options on Sunday next. We will have to redo the flyers and the notify the Oswego County Tourism web site. All that being said, I am looking forward to a great season this year. I have my 4-wheeler back and can cover more more ice and faster, not to mention drag the fixed shanty out and back.
To DD, I was thinking of retiring this year and releasing your contract to another partner, but I have recovered well from my last operation and I am feeling a whole lot better and I reretired from work again and will have lots of wistful hours to sit and contemplate my navel as I set in my warm shanty dragging up them leviathans from the deep (13') that is depending on how low the water is in the pond this year. So, I will get as early a start as the ice will allow and start scouting the, ahem, rim for our secret location this year. Just a quick note, Eddy and I won the tournament "Old School " last year. We walked to our location "Honey Hole" dragged our sled and gear by hand and Eddy's vex was broken, so enough about have to have all those gadgets and gimmicks. For you newbies, a pole,a pail to set on an auger and some bait and a little leg power will get you where you want to go. As usual, I will be looking for some week day fishing partners so keep in touch and I am still waiting for that invitation from Snagger to fish Oneida lake this year.
I won't be posting much in the next few weeks cause I still don't have my deer yet, however that could change with one shot. Tite lines every one.
Hi Boggey
Last sat, We caught 119 perch range 10 to 15 inches in I Bay and big pike also and went to sodus bay to scout around and two ole mule guys caught 100 perch nice size on off eagle island from 38 ft to 42ft. I will heard from boggery to find a place for registration and weigh in station. ps. I noticed sodus bay drop 3 ft water low water.
chris J
South Pond has no fish in it... ;) Cheeks out!!! @)haha yes noooo fish here.
Do those ponds have eyes in them? :P Someone told me there is so much sand in the ice that you need your auger sharpened every trip?In my own opinion the pond walleye numbers are on the rebound but its no Oneida I like to encourage catch and release on pond walleye so the population can come back I saw some real monsters in my spring crappie spot this year
Does anybody know if they cleaned/dredged the channel into the pond this year?they did a new process this year all the sand from the channel was trucked to sandy island beach so as of last wednesday the channel was still in pretty nice shape for this time of year
IF this holds true http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Sandy+Creek+NY+13145:4:US and this holds true, http://lakeice.squarespace.com/ice-growth/ , is there a chance there would be safe ice on Sunday? I'm praying to the fish gods.
they did a new process this year all the sand from the channel was trucked to sandy island beach so as of last wednesday the channel was still in pretty nice shape for this time of yearHow deep dredge on the channel ?
Minimum of 3ft last time I was out on my 28" Grady White
Is it a remote control boat? Sorry, couldn't resist. ;D

I and a few others have been preaching toss the 20" and better back on oneida for a few years now and I'm seeing a lot of bigger fish being caught these daysthe I prefer a 16" walleye for the table just a better taste in my own opinion
2" of ice wont last the wind coming up and warmer temps but still feels good to stand on iceGreat pic bud :clap: :clap: :thumbsup:

And yes I know the limit on the pond is 18 I was speaking about Oneida
Well after a totally dismal hunting season, early ice would be a plus before i head out to afghanistan for six months in feb....please let there be early ice! Were they able to dredge does anyone one know?If you're on facebook, send a friend request to sandypond sportsmans association. They give updates on Sandy Pond and the channel and dredging. I'm pretty sure that I read something about them successfully dredging the channel.

Yup,
Cuse you can sit on a pail with me once in awhile ,but it seems you keep finding them good looking women to sit in the shanty with you all day. Now I don't fault you for that, especially if they can catch fish. Judging by all the screaming and noise that goes on when you zip the flapper closed on your shanty, you must be catching lots of fish. That is the only reason I can imagine all that noise and commotion. I just want to know how an ugly guy like you can attract such good lookin gals. I guess you do the same thing I used to do. You find good lookin women with bad eye sight eh? Whatever works for you keep it up. Things are looking good for an early entry to the ice . the water temps are falling fast too. The 17th of December was my earliest trip out on the pond. We got a little warming spell for the next week but looks like another cold front will keep the night temps down. I am looking for low temps and light snow fall. Hope to see you soon cuse. I will sit on a pail the first day out so don't bring the girlfriend. Don't want too many people sitting too close on thin ice. haha
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;D
I don't care if we have to drive to Canada, we will get you on the ice before you go bud. I promise. I got the 4 wheeler fixed and it is dependable so no pushing and pulling. We just need ice. When are you shipping out Tommy? Maybe we can scrape a steak or two out of Eddy, he has been a real deer slayer this year.
Still going for some red meat Eddie. Haven't had much luck. I will sit in the stand this noon and all day tomorrow. Can't stand to get skunked again this year. BAAAAAD. I will close the camp up next week.Good luck Buddy, I have not been out too busy, But if you want to join me I have 2 doe tags to fill Sunday.
Makin ice tonight fellas!!
The wind isn't helping matters today
Any news on gp or did the blow open tooDid the blow open........ Is that a Brothel where SPSH used to be ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Nothing like a little perch and :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Yo, Pondskipper. You have not been heard from yet. You too busy workin or have you been out already? Did you hear about the SPSH shutting down? I guess we are still going to have access although I know you are a habitué of the GP side of the pond. Did you like that word "habitué" ? I can't help it, I went to colige one year and now I know everything. I got a great vocabulary eh?
Did the blow open........ Is that a Brothel where SPSH used to be ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Nothing like a little perch and :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:bahaha. I ment did it blow open. Almost spit my coffee out when I read that
Good day on black pond yesterday... ;D
Dogger, sssssssshhhhhhhhh. Remember the first rule. "mislead". Still, that sounds like a pretty muffled celebration. Probably means you scored big but I agree with meathunter, too much snow could bring it all to a halt. Got to hope the wind blows it off. I am going to check out GP in the AM tomorrow unless someone says no.
:nono: :nono: :nono:
Great seeing and meeting you yesterday Boggey!! @)--KP @)Great man right there KP ;)
Yo Coach. I am still holding your gift certificate from last years team tournament. I am leaving for GP now. or will catch up with you soon. :roflmao: :roflmao:Or i could just get it from you at this years derby with our other winnings and the 1st place trophy for HT and I. :woot: :icefish: :icefish:
Hey guys, it was lonely out there at GP yesterday. Got there late 10 AM, not a soul in site. My brother and I were a bit leery and spudded and cut holes all the way out. I will in short say the ice conditions report is on the appropriate page . Most places however were 4 "s with 3"s of dense corn snow over 1" of hard ice . Not the best, nor the bite , but the Clam with new heater made the day tolerable. The food and drink made the day tolerable if not the fishing. The further we got out the worse the ice got , so don't even think of putting a machine on that ice yet. even if the ice looks like it is 8"s off the piers it gets thin fast. My brother and I ate well had few fishermen for company, only 5 other guys showed for the entire day (we left the ice @3:40). Again, stopping at the Wig-Wam, not a car in the parking lot and no fishermen or huts seen on the Pond major likewise at the Elms, further , the Elms had not plowed the parking area. I will not post conditions on the pond till I cut some ice myself. Cusefan and I will tackle that tomorrow and spud our way out. Maybe the rumor of bad ice has kept every one from the pond or maybe the last day of hunting, not sure which . Tight lines to all.
Coach,A little bit! ;D
Are you delusional? DD and I have this team tournament in the bag, but grateful for your contribution to the cause. Hey, we have to have team names. Eddie and I are going to keep the same team name from last year "TEAM FIRST PLACE", prophetic eh?

Team Smurf !!! ...... but with a new twist! :woot:
Ace 94mp,
We couldn't tell if those were made that morning or the previous day, they were already frozen over. Did you catch anything?
KP and Fillet..... :o :o :o Coach and H.T I'll call you when Jimmy and I are done again so you can get a few :-* :-* :-*

Saw a nice eye iced and put a 13.5 perch myself. 19 crappies, no where near as big as the batch, 11 gills and the big perch. Greasy ride up :o :o :o :o

Hey now,
Looking for some info, we used to goto the wigwam but been a few years . I was told it became sandy pond steak house but is now closed. Any word on this?
I also heard the place we stayed, eddies place in pulaski is also closed.
Any other good places to eat/stay?
Hey guys, I am having a problem with my virus protection system. It is blocking me from going onto the private message board. Can someone ask ADK Roy to run a check on it? I can't PM him because of the impending virus.
Thanks ADK. I couldn't even access it till now as I was getting a virus warning every time I tried to check into my private messages. Whatever you did , it is now corrected. keep them PM's acoming. Now open for business again.
Yo,Snobdr
The Wig-Wam Is maintaining the parking lot. Carnsie has made arrangements to keep the parking lot plowed and the door slot and envelopes are the same as last year except the fee has gone up to 7 bucks. Additionally, Carnsie is going to make arrangements for lodging on a reservation basis for now and when the restaurant opens he will be back to normal.In a previous post I informed the IS community the entire pond will most likely be 7 bucks this year as Green Point has posted there new rates and as of Sunday .the Elms had not yet posted new rates nor plowed the parking area. Will check again this AM. To address the remainder of your question. Eddies is open and has lodging as well. although parking is limited. Check your PM for more information.

I can't tell you how flabergasted I am at such attempts to break up the great bond and friend ship we have established over the years, unbelievable.

Click on community scroll down to New York then click on ice conditions. Or you can use that new found technology called google ::)

So I was out fishing on Chaumont today when I see this little girl that couldn't have been much more then 12 years old pulling a shanty across the ice. She had one of those pull harnesses like dog sleds have. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. Then I notice this old guy on the back screaming out mush. I was about to call social services but I realized the guy sitting in the shanty was Boggey. When he noticed me he yelled out pretty smart for a 69 year old guy eh. So if anyone sees Boggey out on the pond in the near future I would steer clear of him because it's very apparent that he has taken in too much Christmas and now believes he is Santa and his grand daughter is Rudolph.:o :o :woot: (http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/nysanta/t7773.gif)

All right KP. That's not fair. You are trying to discourage other entrants so you can take second place. You do know Eddie and I still coaxed a few 13'ers out of the pond last year. You just got to know where to fish and I might add "HOW TO FISH" when the bite isn't phenomenal. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Keep in mind I am retired and can spend all day everyday searchin out the honey holes. Eddie provides all the Hi Tech support as you can see from his previous posts. :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:I'm retired to ;D , KP and i will do a little 6 stripe research Feb.1, Eddy do you have buds on the pond like you do on Oneida :woot: you might need them ;D KP and I have been offered a few bribes to throw in the towel , must have a few worried :o

Here ya go Stormy Jr. ;D ..... let me know how it tastes. (http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/cook/cook.gif)
Poor Man's Lobster
Ingredients
Burbot, cut in chunks
2 quarts water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup salt
Juice from 1 lemon
Melted butter and lemon juice for dipping
Directions
Combine water, salt, sugar and lemon juice in large pot. Bring pot to boil. Drop in the burbot and boil, just until fish rises to the surface. Serve with melted butter and lemon juice. Leftovers make a great "lobster" salad.

Thanks Boggey, will do.
Hope to make it out this year fishtank!
Ice is fiveto six inches ,but 12 inches of slush under the ice.
Went out for a hour on the south pond tonight managed 3 keeper perch 11" being my best other 2 were 8" but what a mess I need studs on my poor old Indy took forever to get to shore I'm sure my ancient frabill 3 man shanty didn't help it has no curve to the plastic tub its just a snow plow need to find a one man shanty asap anyone selling oneNo, but I can recommend a Shappell 150 - decent price, well built and a dream to use. The "quick flip" feature is awesome. Roomy as a 1 1/2 man at 44" wide. All around nice shelter for the price. Build a smitty for it or for your old "snow plow" it'll be a dream to pull.
i see bacon grease has come out of his shell once again ::) :roflmao: :roflmao: :whistle: :woot: :afro: well bcons we are looking for as much money as possible for the sandy pond dink fest. i bet Chief could use a partner. why dont you guys partner up and come down to this tourney. ;DEveryone better hurry up and register for the Sandy Pond dink fest. just 31 more days left!!

You probably couldn't pick a better year to add a tournament to the pond. As it looks right now we could have a long season , thereby adding additional opportunities to schedule an Ice event, unlike previous years when 3 tournaments were held on the same week end.
Well, xc70 you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but here are a few facts. The SPSA donates to the SC/Lacona food pantry ($1500 just last month), hosts a Xmas party with food, gifts, Santa, games, etc. for area kids (attendees are identified with help from the schools, this is not for member kids only), holding fund raisers for Sandy Creek Central School senior classes and other special groups, hosting boater, hunter, snowmobiling safety and/or licensing courses, sending two area kids to DEC camp on full scholarships, offering their meeting facilities, for free, to the town for meetings on things like the water project, hosting local fundraisers for other organizations, hosting fishing derbies, turkey shoots and other events that benefit the entire area, including local, for profit businesses, and perhaps most importantly, gives the Sandy Pond locale (I live here year round too) a sense of pond community, which IMO is very important. Yes, some only consider it a place to drink, but that is not the sum or the soul of the SPSA.Couldn't have said it better myself. XC700 you are sadly misinformed.
Whats the best place to fish for perch green point, the elms, or the wigwam?
Just heard they reversed flow on the pond and washed all the fish to the lake ;DThey do it every year yet knucklewads continue to fish there.
Is it gonna be windy tomorrow?why dont you look at the weather channel for that info ??? ::) ::)
Gonna be cold, strong wind, rain, slush.....might as well stay home, no need exposing yourself to that for some anchovie sized perch.... ::):woot: :roflmao: :roflmao:

I'm new to ice fishing and I was wondering where is a good spot to get on the ice also wondering what they are biting on.
I havent fished the pond yet this year but Im wondering why there are so many bad reports so far. Last year was understandable due to the low water but whats this years excuse?? Is anybody getting all the way out to the island yet or even close to that or is everyone still close to the eastern and southern shore? I really miss being able to go down there and fill a bucket with 12 inchers or bigger.
Took the family out to the pond sunday afternoon for a couple hours . I thought catching small perch would be a sure thing, but that wasn't the case. We went and setup in 12 feet of water and i set up the camera for my daughter. When i got the camera setup i noticed the water had a real red tint to it and you couldn't see that great. that was not what i was expecting for being lake ontario. I could see twice as good twice as deep on oneida which is not a clear lake. Well we where there for 2 hours and only saw one 3" perch which we caught. We saw a pike and when i was picking the tipups up we caught a decent largemouth. I have never been to the pond and not have been able to catch small perch all day no matter where you drilled a hole. Last year i only came once because the water was low and the fishing was real slow. I thought it might be better this year with the channel dredged but from my short time fishing there it seemed worse than i've ever seen it.

Freddie, that is the ONLY hole that is a secret....... Gonna be hard to keep that hole sacred come Feb. 1st!! :-\
Oby,
I hope you are right about the snow cover. I wanted to drag the Perm Shanty out tomorrow but I want to check the snow cover tomorrow first.
Did you and Tommy Boy share a shanty last week? he has been sick with the flu also. You are both coming back around, hopefully for some good fishing this week.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Well I didnt get knocked up with the flu, I use protection.... :PI didn't come prepared to party so I got knocked up hahahah ;D
I'll start it off at a $1! :woot: :roflmao: :thumbsup:
for the right price GPS cords can be supplied to the honey hole auction goes up the day before :woot:
Jake, you will have to come to the secret "honey hole" of course you must be sworn to secrecy first. Those other guys just "THINK" they know where the secret honey hole is located. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao::-)
Thanks guys. I don't feel any older. I am taking my vitamins so I can take your money in the Team Tournament. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)ya ok. well you better go get some good stuff because your going to need alot. your b-day is not on tournament day bud ;D
Hows the pond looking for snow? is green point plowed out?
[Green point ,has been plowed . Plenty of parking,ice is clear of snow. BRING YOUR CLEATS/quote]
Hi guys. I'm planning on a weekend trip out to Sandy Pond this weekend. I've only been on the lake a few times so far. Each time coming out from the wigwam. I see a lot of posts about green point and the elms. I found them on the map, but was wondering if they are public access and public parking? Thanks in advance.There is public access at both places. They are both pay to park.
Thanks Jake. My grandson has a no school day today . He and my brother will be out of the Elms today. You got to work?Just saw this Boggey. I've been working nights this week. I should be able to go out Saturday morning.
There is public access at both places. They are both pay to park.

KP is right Crappi Matt. :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: You really don't want to know HT but if you meet him you will never forget him either. If you want to know if he lives near you just check out the basketball hoops in your neighborhood and when you find one with a slime log hanging from it, that is HT's house.
HT is quite the character and, a great friend! DON'T change how you do things Buddy!! ;) ;DHe's one Bad Ash! :woot: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :icefish:
He's one Bad Ash! :woot: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :icefish:(http://www.animated-gifs.eu/cartoons-smurfs/0021.gif) That's right..... Nobody can catch dink perch like HT!! :flex: ;) :icefish: :icefish:
Private message to Drowndin Dots. Hey Eddy , you think we are scaring those other guys away ? Maybe we should lay off all the bravado. What do you think? Heck, half those Pennsylvania guys canceled last year because we intimidated them so bad. Maybe we should take a more friendly less contentious attitude. My great grand daughter got to have shoes. I need the money. We have to get innovative. What do you say we announce our retirement so all those wanna bees will think they got a chance and then at the last minute after they all put their money up , we re-enter? Great idea eh? Keep this on the down low. SHHHHHH :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:I heard a rumor the Legend "Release" may be out doing a little scouting on the pond very soon. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: So if you want an early autograph keep your eyes peeled!! :woot: :flex: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish:

The link for the pond web cam is as follows: http://sandypond.dyndns-work.com:13177/main.htm when prompted the usrename is Guest. There is no password. Unfortunately as I said, it looks as though the owner moved into his garage and put the door down. Not sure whats up with that. I've seen some prety bad oictures the last few days, can anyone give me some insight on the channels off of Seber Shores Rd? Looks like the lower areas might not be fairing to well and I cant get there until Friday night. Thanks for any info. Be safe! :-\flooded kilts tract was under water last night water was going down but now we are getting a decent west wind exactly what we didnt want may break the ice jam or may make thing far worse if we get a surge of water that is normally associated with a west wind
Is there someone talking on here.....?????????? Freddie and I will take the red carpet treatment when we unload our gear as we stroll down the ramp to take the First Place prize from Team Second Place...that is your team name..Team Second Place...is it not!!! :P Oh, by the way, Make sure that red carpet is rolled out, ironed nice and neat, for when we leave the ice on our way to OUR Throne of Victory!! ;D You won't scared Us off that easy!!!! ;) :P :PWant me to see if i can get the Sandy Creek high school marching band there too? (http://smileys.emoticonsonly.com/emoticons/m/marching_band-1264.gif) I think Release would like that!! :woot: :icefish:
On to a more serious note....I hope all the residents along the shorelines of the pond remain safe from flooding!!! ;)--KP
All this hub bub about needing red carpets. Lol real men walk on water not rugs! >:D :-* :-* :whistle:

I am heading up to a buddy's camp on south sandy pond for the long weekend. What are the chances of getting out at all? Planning on bringing a rod to hit the river if it is not safe. Hopefully no flooding on the North side of pond on south road. Is there anywhere around there to catch the Cuse game if the Steak house of Wigwam is not open yet?I live on the far north east corner pond may be OK to fish and eddies cove will have the game on and eddies is closer than wigwam
Boggey you're right. Hands down best freshman in the country. I called it last year that he was going to be good. Too bad we will lose him, grant and cj at the end of the year. Physical game, kind of reminds me of watching you pull a shanty by yourself through 2' of snow as I was drinking a hot cocoa.See you at 8 ;)
I'm still heading out tomorrow if you're around you know where I will be.
That was a good game, got home just in time to watch it. Right after Team smurf got back from perch catching practice on Oneida. ;D :icefish: :icefish:coach........we will have adjust a couple of things before we go after the dink perch. if i set the hook like i did yesterday i am afraid that the fish will come flying up the hole and hit the top of my shanty ::) ::) ::) just something to think about ??? ::) ::) ;D ;)

I was on a sled next to Boggey and the ice is fine know. Set up caught a bunch of dinks sorted for a few hours kept three and then the bite died. That might be my last trip up there.That's what you get for fishing next to boggey :P :whistle: :whistle: :-* :-*

well just to let you boys know I'm tossing 8 gram jigs at them , same stuff I use at Oneida , I ain't scared it's a make or break , but the bird hole has some good stripers in it right now , so I will leave them alone for now ;DThere is a few nice ones left ;)

Oh yeh! I'll bet our Sandy Pond perch don't even know how to speak Scandanavian. They won't even recognize your new sophisticated lure. It will take a lot of time to educate them and time you ain't got. 11 short days to DD day . That's when you all contribute money to Eddy's retirement fund. Now that I have mastered the use of the Vexilar, I will be deadlier than ever. Badda Boom, Badda Bing. That's the sound of the cash register when we deposit all da money.
oh I see everyone has a internet ego ........ my question is there a age limit for my partner? .....I mean you guys wouldn't be skeered of being beat by a little girl would ya?????bring her along Trapper!
bass dont count ther Bud ;D
Sleeper cell eh? Good one. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:(http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/sleep/alarm-clock.gif)
Trapper. I don't mean to be critical but that's "an age limit" and further, my 8 year old grand daughter frequently whups up on grand pa. I am just worried about you confiscating with all the proceeds in the unlikely event you were to win. That's called child abuse don't you know? :nono: :nono: :nono: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
well she's 8 but she's short for her age :roflmao:HT's short for his age too! They should get along great. :laugh:

Save yourselves the trip my friend!! Freddie and I got this... ;D Looking forward to fishing with...er I mean...Against you guys!! @)Gotta make the trip KP, need more walleyes for the freezer. Figured I'd take a day off and fish the Pond. Be good to see you guy's.
Sure thing KP, looking forward to some fishing and bsing, this work thing sucks but pays the bills till the big pot (winnings) steal on the pond ;), i'll get a little relaxation for a couple weeks ;D. I can see those Lake George Lakers on the screen already, financed by HT, Coach, Boggey etc. :clap: :thumbsup:
Hey Freddy, we're all going to Lake George so the money will get spent one way or the other. ;D
so we should thank all the guys for contributing to our trip :woot:When team smurf wins the big prize, we only ask that everyone sing the happy song for us. La....La...La,La,La,La....La,La,La....La! :woot:
I am new to this forum and have been enjoying the posts that I have read. My father and I are planning on fishing the derby and wanted to know what the location of the Friday registration site is if the SPSH/Wigwam is closed. This will be our first time in the derby and looking foreward to a great day. Thanks for any help.Welcome aboard! Have you been practicing the happy song ??? ??? :woot: ;D
We are going to have a container inspection prior to shot gun start. I wouldn't have surmised you would be so Machiavellian as to hide a fish under your hat. Now that I know it, you will be asked to remove your Peruvian flap eared hat. EWWW, verstankinzee ya? Sarah may have second thoughts about dining with you after that.:blink: Somebody better tell Release to make sure his story-time container is cleaned then!! :woot:
Did anyone warn the PA boys its a little colder north of the border? They can't fish here like at home.I fish for steelhead in this weather, won't be a problem ;D
Got the shanty out today. Thanks to my grandson's help. We tipped it over on it's side once. Dragged it from GP to the honey hole. With out chains it was tough. We had to dig out of a bunch of 2 foot drifts. Just a note. The Perm Shanty is not setting on the honey hole.I have so much to say about this but I'm going to wait till after the tourney. All I will say is that I'll be fishing next to the guy with an off white snorkel jacket fishing in 20 below zero temps sitting on a bucket without gloves on. I'll be the guy in the 90 degree shanty poking Boggey to make sure he doesn't freeze to death.
HT, you are truly my hero. Always defiant in the face of adversity. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Its not just adversity he's always defiant..,. :P
its going to be a little difficult changing strategies form catching 16"-23" walleyes and 12"-14" elephant perch down to 8" pencil fish but i will manage ::) ::) ::) i hear duffy is coming up to fish. been a while since i seen him. cant wait sounds like good times to me. make sure your wallets full jboggey1 when you get on the ice saturday. me and coach will help lighten it up for ya. lmfao :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :woot:Should be fun.

Fished a couple of hours this evening at Elms. Met a fisherman coming off as I was heading out of the parking lot. A shout out to fellow ISer JackPerch137. He had a rough day but stuck with it had a slow bite day. His daughter is also an avid fisherwoman. He has a lot of good times ahead with his fishing partner. Fish on Bill and hope we get to cut some holes together. I hope you and the daughter team up for next Saturday's Team Tournament. I also ran into Derek and his son. They were on there way back in with a half bucket of nice perch. Didn't have to go far either. He tuned me into his hole location. I sat down, unfolded the Otter II and proceeded where he left off. Caught a hundred to keep 20 still it was nice to set on a hot bite hole again. Nothing over 10"s, the rest will make good poor man's shrimp. Bought some cocktail sauce on the way home. Yum! Closed the day by running out to the Perm Shanty and setting the runners up on 2X4"s to prevent the runners from settling into the ice. A good practice I have found weather permitting, I only have to move the shanty every third day to keep the runners from freezing into the ice. That's not a hard thing to do when your retired guys and gals. ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2Hope you marked the spot Jimmy ;D ;D ;D
On the ice today? :o :o :o. That wind is ripping! Can only imagine the pond.X2 ..... Be safe out there bud :o :o :o
Let's just hope that lake effect stays south of there.
No Eddy, I couldn't other than a little triangulation. The delivery on the new 4X elite is today. I am excited. Can't wait to get it in my hands. Besides they were not Tournament winning size. We will go to secret code #3. I am on the ice today as well. One of my old buds, PWC from Pathfinder Fish & game Club is going to give me a lesson on fishing today (he says). Grandson is coming too, the eldest. He is taking courses on line and can skip school any time he wants. I tell you, this younger generation, I just don't understand. Heck , he is 25 and thinks he can retire just like me. Good luck with that. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :woot: :woot:Would that be my old buddy Paul Clark ?
Yes Liz, I can attest to that now, expostofacto or what ever. After a white knuckle drive over to the pond in a near white out from confusion corner to Minkler's farm. I finally madeit to Woody's where we watched the remaindwe of the blow pass us by. When the snow slowed down, still strong winds, I decided to hit the pond at the Elms. It wasn't plowed and I was lucky to get back up o the hill after a lot of slipping and sliding. Complete white out at that ramp anyway.
Went to The Wig-Wam. They were not plowed either yet I managed to park by the docks. Unloaded the wheeler and got stuch in a 6' drift 2/3rds the way down the ramp. Had to walk back up the ramp and borrowed a shovel from a very nice lady in the first house to the left of the ramp. Turned the machine around and got stuck again. A lot od shoveling for this old guy. The second time I got stuck was the last straw. Gave up and came home. Enjoying the heat from the register under the computer table after another white knuckle drive back home.
Some one will have to level that drift at the bottom of the Wig-Wam ramp. Maybe some sled travel will knock it down and pack the snow making it passable. In the meantime wheelers will bury up to the skid plate every time. Access by foot or sled guys and gals at Wig-Wam.
FISHFOR PIKE, hOW MUCH YOU GOING TO CHARGE FOR A TOW OUT TO THE HONEY HOLE? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Depends on how much "honey" is out there! ;) Pass on the GPS coords and I will consider. :PDon't fall for it partner ;D ;D ;D I'll get out there for us and tow you if necessary... FFP is a great guy and will be a welcome addition to the event all kidding aside ;) ;) ;). Wait till you see that machine in person :o :o :o

There's still some decent perch in the pond. I got into them pretty good Friday morning it seems as though they are just starting to group up. Feel it is still a little early. Definitely an improvement over my previous trips to the pond as they were all challenged in the size department...I'm confused are you talking about the perch or Boggey because that would answer truly why mrs Boggey is upset.
:nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:
I am not at liberty to out him. So I can't answer that. However , I will say he was a lot smarter than me. He didn't make it to Woody's even, although I am not at liberty to say that :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo:Probably because he banged his Nils master auger on the ice last week to get the ice off and now it won't cut ::) ;D Since I sold him the auger over 10 years ago, he's treated it like a baby until the last time out when he treated it like a red headed step child ! ;D ;D
Phil,
You should rephrase that . IF
We older people have to develop neural pathways through repetition. We older.... :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:
Paduwan! Paduwan! Paduwan! Where is Hardwater when you need him? :callcops: :callcops: :callcops: :callcops: :callcops: :callcops: I believe that is padawan not to be critical Freddy. And I want you to know, I also speak Klingon, fluently. Imagine, wakening from my nappy poo to find this dribble on line. Besides that, Eddy makes me check the tip downs while he does his Hi-Tek thing. :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
I didn't think you would catch that "WHEN", although that is what I meant to say/write. ;D No matter - we are in it for the fun. ;) And you may be right on with the "neural pathways" thing; have to ask Freddie about that. :woot:
So, how much ice is there on that "pond"? AND, is the NAV app/chart accurate?

From what I've seen the navionics app is pretty accurate. ;) Just cut a hole there are dink perch everywhere. Now if you looking for the elusive 8 inch perch.... navionics won't help. You're gonna need one of these. :woot:hey coach..........you got our spot picked out yet. dont know where to go for 8" perch ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

While I am not at liberty to disclose this, he did crap a nickle when I told him my new nils cost a hundred-fitty bucks.
OK guys and gals , the first thing I have learned about my new Lowrance 4 X elite Ice machine. I can't do step #2 till the battery has charged for 9 hours. I am concerned that in the written instruction book, nothing is in writing about the GPS capability, yet the product is clearly advertised in cabelas close out advertisement as having GPS . If it does not, I will be packing it up and sending it back.The one you bought is the same as mine Jim, it does not have GPS.
The one you bought is the same as mine Jim, it does not have GPS.You don't want gps on a fishfinder anyways. ;) Maybe, if it were mounted on a sled or wheeler and you fished off that machine.
You don't want gps on a fishfinder anyways. ;) Maybe, if it were mounted on a sled or wheeler and you fished off that machine.I have GPS on my lowrance with a navionics and I love it. Makes finding spots brainless. Plug in the spot I want to go to and drive till it says stop. Pop a few holes and I'm fishing exactly where I want to be.
Cabela's close out sale listed in the bullets descriptiom w/GPS. I went back to look at the closeout sale and it no longer lists the GPS capability. Bummer. Is that what they call bait and switch? Now that will cost me half the time to learn how to operate the machine. The Etrex 10 I bought last year doesn't work correctly either. I do not have a good record with electronics. That old guy sitting on his bucket with his snorkel coat drawn tightly around his head is getting ready to make his return. Ah! life was so simple then. :icefish: :icefish: :icefish:

I just like my handheld and/or the Lowrance I have mounted on the wheeler for the gps work, then get the fish finder out. Just can't seem to grasp carrying a fishfinder around for the gps functionality, that's all. I'm sure, some day, I will change my mind - I always do. :)
While I am not at liberty to disclose this, he did crap a nickle when I told him my new nils cost a hundred-fitty bucks.That's Paul ! ;D ;D ;D I sold him a brand new 6" Nils for $54.99 but that's nothing ! Freddy was my first customer ! If I remember correctly, his Nils (Tanaka back then) cost $32.99.....or maybe he traded me a bucket of bluegills for the auger ! It was 1985 ;)

I'm sure, some day, I will change my mind - I always do. :)having a flasher and loving it I wasn't sure about switching to a fishfinder but after using one I would never go back to a flasher. My lowrance on graph mode with the scope on is amazing. Why better then a flasher could ever be. Throw in the GPS and navionics and it's a game changer. Flashers will soon be a thing of the past.
Whats wrong with downloading the free us topo maps to your smart phone and using that.GPS on a smart phone isn't as accurate. The smart phone apps work I used them for years till I got the lowrance now I can get exactly on the spots I want
Mated on a charter boat for 18 years out of the pond. never used combo units you loose all capability if the unit goes down. Had a flasher and a Humminbird cvr50 8 color video 800 watts rms 6400 watts pep. If flashers were the answer we would still be using them on the lake. Look up new dragonfly 3d unit, it will get you thinking. Good luck out there it looks like you are in for 3 days of lake effect.

Left my flasher at home 3 years ago, went with the new digital Marcum LX7, adapted to the graph, and never looked back. :)

Not when you are 69, trap
This will be my last year without a sled. Not only to avoid walking thru the snow, but for mobility. As a walker I'm confined to 1-1.5 miles out , and then short moves. If I guess wrong like Sunday afternoon, I end up sitting on Mud Monsters with no desire to move a 3rd time.
I don't mind busting my butt , I learned long ago work smarter not harder , I like to fish , I don't want to work at it, I can remember the first sled I bought, took all spring - fall saving my coffee money change , by late fall had enough to buy a nice used Arctic cat lynx , it's all about priorties
Yo Guys and Gals, Can you say "Slush" Anyhow. I am rethinking my approach to the tournament. I am considering offering Phil a percentage of my winnings in exchange for a tow out to the "honeyhole". Does that track machine run in slush Phil?
Denny here is a web site that will get you there. www.nauticalcharts.noa a.gov Click on the NOAA emblem> click on Great Lakes Chart> Select Chart 14803 and click. You will see North Pond as one of the sub sets and you can zoom in and print. It is one of the .gov tax payers free applications. In fact all navigatable Great lakes waters are available from this site. Good Luck and just a warning :nono: there is a little spot towards the north shore , if you zoom in really really really close you will see "Boggey's Honey Hole" shhhhh. Do not share this with anyone else.
still got both of them 4 & 6 cracked a flight on the 6 , had it brazed and still going strong ,with the same heads to , and I seem to remember fish were involved in the equationThe good old days ! ;) ;D
OK Lance :clap: :clap: :clap: Just what I wanted to hear. Hey, you can use my Perm Shanty if you want. I got it parked out there in no mans land just as a decoy, but you are welcome to use it. Eddy and I will be roaming the ice all day looking for the hot spots and keepin an eye on that KP and Freddy team. You know what I mean?
All this talk about electronics. My flasher isn't cutting it any more... Now I dont have GPS.... What shall I do? For anyone not needing their flasher any longer it would make a good starting point for me. It sure would beat continuing to stick my head in that little hole and whistling and calling for fish. My head starts to get a bit numb after the 4th or 5th hole! Besides that my daughters are starting to think they are going to have to do the same thing if dad doesn't start producing more and larger fish. :o :o :o :o :o :o :oget a lowrance. That make them without GPS and they can be had pretty cheap or with GPS and you still would want a navionics chip and they are pricey.
Boggey you aren't kidding that shanty is in no mans land.Looks like he got tired or gave up and stopped several hundred yards away.
The navionics app is way off for conesus I was looking for ten foot of water ended up in forty. I haven't tried it in any other waters but while I was in 40 foot I did catch a 5 1/2 lb walleyeit's not the app it's the phones GPS. Phones aren't very accurate. I checked my phone to my GPS and the phone was a 1000' off. That's a lot when you are trying to get over a 20' hole.
it's not the app it's the phones GPS. Phones aren't very accurate. I checked my phone to my GPS and the phone was a 1000' off. That's a lot when you are trying to get over a 20' hole.Phones (Smart Phones) with gps can be confusing. They will use the cell system unless you specifically turn on the gps feature for location services. Or turn off location services and enable gps. If it uses the cell system for location, it will be very inaccurate.

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guy are training a old fart like boggey with electronics!!!!! thats like handing a 5 year old a loaded gun!!!! :roflmao: ..............have fun i'm stuck at the doctors today :(

The Team Tournament is this Saturday, the 1st of February, 2014 With a preregistration Friday night @ Eddie's Cove Restaurant .

Yo Tommy Boy, yeh sure respect me eh? You are getting a might hurtful there bud. I got feelings you know :( :(. I want you to know step #2 of Jedi training to use the new 4X Elite ice machine is to let Eddy set it up and show me which button to push to turn it on. Not bad for a guy who doesn't know how to post pictures on IceShanty, I'd say.
Fished the pond today by the way. Well actually, I dug the 4 wheeler out of multiple snow drifts for 3 hours and only fished for 2 hours. It was cold out there. It was windy out there and the snow drifts varied between bare ice and 2 feet. The ramp at the Elms was 3-4 foot of drifting snow.. Obviously, I found out the hard way. Luckily. my old bud Paul brought his snow shovel. Still we shoveled an hour just to get on the ice and then shoveled several more times as we tried to negotiate the snow drifts. We did get to set up the otter and fish for a couple of hours. We had to leave early because my old buddy was getting his little finfins cold. :roflmao: :roflmao: That was to be expected as he is getting older now (4 months older than me). I sure hope I don't get old like him in 4 months. Well, to make a long story short, The bite was on. We wailed on them suckers for 2 hours. Paul, despite his advanced years ::) ::) did catch the first perch and he did catch the largest,( 12"). I however caught the most of the remaining 25 dinks. After shoveling another hour to get off the pond I was sure he was going to thank me for bringing him out fishing . I heard him mutter something about being the son of (my mother or whatever) I asked him if he wanted to go out again tomorrow and he said he would call me on my cell phone. Hey, I don't have a cell phone ::) ::)
Post script: Eddy cooked a great meal and Lisa is lovelier than ever
Yeh! that's right Tommy boy. We did didn't we. Well I am "not leaving anything to chance", "no stone unturned" as it were. I am "going the extra mile" just in case them upstarts Larry and Freddy think they are coming to our home ice and resting the Crown from eddy and me. I want to teach them a good lesson. I will take great solace in watching them "crash and burn"," ignominious defeat", nothing less. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Post Script; Man I hope we win after all this fiery rhetoric. There is just so much crow a man can eat.
Looks like coach was diggin around in HT's personal photo album again ;D:blink: :blink: :blink:

hes running lead core and spoons you know which ones , hey coach why is it the raining champs at any sport cant retain a title you know how often that happens ,your the odds maker you tell me ???Why..... Because they can't handle the pressure! ;) ;D
Wait a minute it's hard enough to trust ALL of you old farts outside without a chaperone let alone give you more than hand tools. :PI hope boggey has dry colthes in the hard shack , but that does show tenacity , and any short comings ;)

Final preparations in the works ..... Glad to see we got in Freddy's head Jim :afro: :afro: :woot: Bcons how did you get that picture of Lance ;D ;D ;D
HT has been working out. :flex:
and I'm just going to pick up my gift certificate from last year! :woot:
Hope you got enough venison steak's thawed out DD!! :D and don't forget to pack your Sharpies everyone, so you can get the Legends autograph.Just finishing the broth, boiled a neck and pulled the meat, hacked open the bones to get the marrow. Jimmy, any idea on a head count? I bought rolls and I'm making around 4 gallons of stew, plates, bowls and spoons..... Hope I got enough for everyone...... BTW bring the griddle with you tomorrow

For all you out of towners, the pond has over 20"s of ice. The ramps at Wig-Wam and Elms golf course are really a challenge for 4 wheelers. . Once you are on the ice , there are snow dunes with an occasional 8 or 10" drift that is compressed enough to carry your weight with out sinking in. The sled traffic may tighten up the ramps by tomorrow evening as the day time temps will allow the snow to compress and the night time temp may freeze it harder by Saturday morning. Green Point ramp is doable for 4 wheelers. The weather prediction is temps 41 degrees, 30% chance of rain and 7 mph winds. Bring your "A" game.Yrying to scare off the real winners again? ;D ;D

well so much for the cartoon so here is the real thing ,and DD boggey in my head you must be on captain crunch or your cooking on Oneida , easy on the fumes :afro: (http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh190/filetandrelease/icetrolling_zpsac139fa4.png) (http://s256.photobucket.com/user/filetandrelease/media/icetrolling_zpsac139fa4.png.html):woot: :woot: Nice machine ;D ;D I might have room in my big shanty for a lab :cookoo: :cookoo: But I prefer all natural :afro:
Ooooo boy! Personally I get a kick out of everyone who's worried about a machine for the pond. :Pthats to funny I can unload and and ready less than 10 min and then run a 1/2 to a mile all in 15 min ,my trailer stays hooked up 24-7 , you can wade through the snow it all depends how hard your willing to work , sorry but after 35+ years of service , smarter not harder works for me ;)
The amount of time it takes to load one at home or hookup the trailer. Then unload machine once there. Load it back up when done fishing. Then unhook or unload when done at home. All to save a 10-20 min. Walk?
Kinda like the people who circle the parking lot for 20 mins looking to park 20' closer. ::)
Rough competition this will be. How big is the pond? I always brought my sled (for the kids when they were 12) :P
OK, enough is enough, we are getting closer to YOUR doomsday. Practice my fellow ice fishermen practice. You all have one more day to get ready for the onslaught. Eddy and I are so confident we are spending half of our day cooking for you guys instead of fishing. No. No don't thank us. It didn't cost us too much We used the money from LAST YEARD WINNINGS, and after we win even more money this year we may have a caterer do it for us next year. Eddy, just exude confidence. It drives them crazy :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo:you better spend your time fishing champ , trying to retain your title , it,s been a year of holding on to the golden challis , so a mandatory challenge is in order to retain your title ;D
Post Script: I am also bringing paper plates peppers, onions and condiments. I have TommyBoy's homemade Brat contribution. About 20#s. I have a stadium grill with a 24" plate grill attached. Oh what can we bring to drink? Hot chocolate maybe? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

For me, it's all about the "system" you use. If I change things up; I'll likely forget something.
Looks like I'm getting stood up by my partner for the weekend, he didn't get his work made up at school. :%$#!: :wacko: :%$#!:Bcons I'm partner less also. We can let the blow up dolls fish together. I bet they would beat Boggey.
Still fishing though, just might have to look like this without a last minute stand-in

Going to prep the super secret jigs for pond perch. An 8mm nut from a machine screw soldered to a #4 Aberdeen tipped with a CIG filter soaked with wd-40 :P
Gonna be tough to keep ht away from that :oya..what ever dude ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D
You forgot one critical thing on that list Boggey...toilet paper for you and Eddie, for after you two crap yourselves with the haul of fish Freddie and I are hauling to the weigh-in!!! :roflmao: :icefish:Nonsense, I did a little recon today .... Made the mistake of looking in Fillet's bag.... Release nearly cut my hand off :woot: :woot: I had to make up for it by purchasing him a Manhattan at the registry, turns out that stuff is Release release syrum >:D >:D :thumbsup: Good times and tons of laughs bud ;)
Now, you know better than to give Release the "RELEASE SYRUM"!!! LOL!!Now I do LOL :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
'ol Buzzard is wound up tight without it!! ;DAHHHH ..... Release gets a bad rap.... Look on the bright side, you never have to wonder what he's thinking :woot: :woot:
Eddie want to have a little side bet. Smallest dink buys first round.:whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:
Bcons the winning team needs a good nickname so we will have to put our heads together and come up with something insulting. Anyways, just so the powers that be know, there are two ts in Matt please forward this note to the engraver of the trophy.How about "Dink Catchers" that's insulting :woot: ;D Team Smurf is registered! Nice meeting some of the guys at Eddies Cove tonite, and the dinner was very good.

Good luck tomorrow everyone. :icefish: :icefish:
Great pre-registration guys. We walked out of there at 7:55 with 28 teams signed up. Expect as many more tomorrow morning. Big Pot. Most important, I had a great time meeting some of the people I have talked to for the last 5 years and getting together with some old friends I haven't seen since last season. BigBuck and Vince couldn't be happier. See you all in the morning. Don't forget to bring your fish to the scales "Wet, In a bucket" by 3:00 PM.Jim.
Wakey,Wakey......time to roll out the red carpet!!! :oHands off snakey ;D ;D ;D
Hope all you tourney guys are making of well. I will be looking at this thread later to see if the defending champs could pull off the repeat...
All that really matters is that Boggey and Eddie didn't win.:woot: (http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/bye/sad-to-say-bon-voyage-smiley-emoticon.gif)
All that really matters is that Boggey and Eddie didn't win.;D. We also cannot forget ALL the PA boys who were talking smack....
Thanks for all the hard work getting this set up. Excellent organization. Team Black Lake will be back. @). Congrats Phil that has eluded me all these years in different bays . Closest I came to that is in my signature on my profile while I lived in N. California . Taste gooood mtn . Trout but not very big. Plenty of them though.
Did a first for me - Steelhead through the ice. ;D

Where's the picture of that?
Some guy that can cook better than he can fish has the photo :PHey now, no shame in a top 5 finish considering the quality of the competition ;) No wounds to lick ;D
I was surprised to not see it. Maybe he's to busy licking wounds.... ;D
Good job Fishforpike :thumbsup: :clap:
Here it is, really made my day.... Man I would love to get into one on a ice rod :o :o :o

My thanks to my bud Eddy. Just a note, he could have done better if the old geezer he was fishing with had held up his half of the bargain. The "honey hole was banging in the AM, after 12 o'clock (one 10"er) we got shut down. However, don't worry about "Team First Place". First come first serve. "Sleeper cell" sounds formidable enough. Eddy and I will win it back next year and regain the title. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :thumbsup: We got a new strategy, (Catch Bigger Fish). That'll work right?I'm proud of out finish, and even prouder to have been a part the day bud. You are a great friend and mentor Jimmy :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Did you guys release these steelhead?Yes, it went back in the Pond. Fun to catch, for sure. Funny thing for mine - I was taking a break and standing talking to my partner and he handed over his pole while he got a cup of coffee ---- 2 or 3 jigs and WHAM! ;D That ain't no perch! Don't feel like anything I've ever had on before! ;D Fun times!
There was at least one other steelie caught ;D, maybe nightfisher will put the pic up when he gets a chance. Thanks again guys for the hospitality, will look forward to next year, great food dots!! glad that dog showed up late lol. Does that shirt fit bcons? :laugh:
Shirt heck!! daddy needs to see Omar the tent maker ;) ;) ;D:woot: :clap:

wow. wth is wrong with you guys ::) ::) ::) ;DSome of us "unrefined rednecks" perhaps should start hanging stink logs from tree branches, or anything similar to scare the neighbors away. Until then have to resort to weird pictures.
hey now.........i gave that stink log to the needy on saturday you know ;)The needy?
A few more kudos for the Sandy Pond Team Tournament. Thanks to the lovely Lisa for the great pictures and lending your husband to the fray. Also to Tommy Boy for contributing 30 #s of his Brats sausage . It sure went over well after a cold day on the ice. Did I detect a little beer in that secret recipe? Lastly, to Eddy for our chef due jour for that fantastic venison stew. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:I wish we could do it again next weekend LOL.... I'm working on some new sponsors for next year Jim... Hope to get some bigger prizes as this thing continues to grow.... My only fear is that we may be too busy to fish all day LOL... Honestly, we were done for the most part before noon. Lisa has agreed to come out on the ice to take pic's next year, I will accompany her around hopefully with my sled by then ;D ;D ;D
boggy it is indeed a lampray mark ...... interesting when i cleaned them the two bigger ones both had small crappies in them .....Get them Crappie eaters out >:( >:( ;D

My 2 grandsons are through with wrestling by then and I will have them with me also. Ian had a great time last year. Every kid gets a door prize. Give me 2 more years and I will have my great grand daughter as well. Fishtank and his crew do a great job on there tournament.
Get them Crappie eaters out >:( >:( ;D
Ditto that on the spsa derby & fish tank. Except my kids are all to old now. :( few yrs ago entered with one of my boys. That was the year some weirdo was driving around out there in a little blue Chevy truck...... Wonder who that was?Should be a great turnout for the derby again this year. And I dont know what you are talking about? Blue truck? I didn't have one of those... lol ::)
Good times for sure!
I heard all comments this thread was very positive on derby so next year we picked the date on Jan 31, 2015. Ok with you guys.....Sounds good! Team Smurf will be there. Were coming after ya Tommyboy and Mike. ;) ;D :icefish:

Hello every one I'm new to Ice shanty and I am looking forward to being on it.
I have been told that Sandy Pond is a good place to go on the ice. But I have never been there, where is a good place to access the pond ???Thanks Ice head Ed

I am sorry I did not relay that to you Chris. You were busy when Mr. Dial came over and announced he was opening the Steak House again for next years tournament and would help us all he can. I will give Mr. Dial all the information to join us here on IceShanty, hopefully as a sponsor. It will be nice to have the restaurant open again next year. ADK, give me a one time pass on this and I will follow through to get him signed up as a sponsor. I still have the information you gave me last year for the previous owner who did not pull the trigger.
Wouldn't call him that trap, big dude lol ;D
Heading down this Saturday with the kids, been fishing a lot of slow spots lately and want to get the kids into a decent bite. Them catching a bunch of dinks and chasing some flags would be great, if we found some keepers even better. I've never fished sandy pond before and need pointed in the right direction, we will be walking so the shorter the drag the better for the kids. Any help is appreciated.
Anybody target steelhead through the ice on the Pond? I would have to think you could get a few if you set up for them near the Little Sandy Creek inlet.There are very few caught each yr. This past derby there were 2 caught. Don't think anyone ever targets them. They're just incidental.
Traps great at instigating! I just try to behave myself :angel
But when ya get to be in his condition........... :P :P :P

Dodged most of the lake effect, but still fresh snow. The other thing is the rock hard drifts from before this snow. Some 2-3' tall and steep. Like hitting a rock wall.
I'm glad all you guys are fishing instead of posting. That's a good sign. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Not all JB1...not all. :-[
So what's the forecast looking like for Sat and Sunday? It seems like everything I look at has a different outlook. Should I bring an extra bottle of heat for the shanty to keep the kids on the ice?
I am finally healed after that trip to Chaumont last week. Talk about dink fest. Every body of water has it's on and off days. Well anyway, after listening to all the derogatory quips about the size of the Sandy Pond perch, I am again returning to the honey hole to catch a meal. WE may not have the biggest but we do have perch. I will be perfectly happy keeping (20 -30) 10" perch. I can virtually guarantee a meal at Sandy Pond, wish I could say that for Chaumont or Oneida. Thanks to my bud Cusefan who taxied my grandson and me out to the shoals. Today will be much more sedentary, I will sit in the perm shanty , with the heater and portable radio, listening to my fav radio station and catching some perch and making my normal contribution of 1 or 2 yellow (chartreuse) pimples to the slime logs.Boggey you sounded like your life was sucked out of your body.
AH! Ain't life grand?
Good luck boggey! I'd rather be out there fishing with spikes than at work today!I would not take that bet ;D
I'm also calling BS on the you sitting in the perm all day. $50 says you find it irresistible to hole hop at least a bit. Its sunny & your a bucket sitter at heart.
there is no free parking unless you know someone
that has a camp. wig wam/elms/ green point. all $5.00 each.
YOU DA MAN! And what pray tell did you get her? If it is too intimate please spare the details. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
My bud Townzee made it out yesterday and grabbed some nice perch and a 30'' pike at Tommyboy's hole. You are working too much Jake. You got to get the weekend off for the Christine Reed Memorial Perch derby on the 1st of march. It will be a good time to all get together again and the kids have a great time. I'm going to fish right next to Tommyboy so he can cut holes for me, no really , right next to him. ;D ;D ;D ;D
I'm wondering the same thing. I have a guy that's been wanting to get out. Might take him to the pond this weeekend
how much more snow did the pond get
Not Much... I was out yesterday until 6:00 P.M. and there was still the usual amount from last week. We picked up an additional 3-4" overnight in the creek so I imagine it is not too bad. Sleds was perfect yesterday
What is this rumor I hear about ChiefCatchemall coming to the Pond tomorrow? Hide your women and look the kids up in the storm cellar. ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2It could be, hide your women? Why? afraid he might sell them some Avon products? :P
I got to see and use Tommyboys new auger. Supreme although he did not get there until I had already cut 4 holes with my nils. :nono: :nono: :nono: I got my vengeance though, I pretended I couldn't hear him tooting his horn at the Elms parking lot. Long drag eh Tom? Well all was forgotten when we spent a half day sitting in the nice warm confines of the perm shanty and solving the worlds problems. Notice I didn't say anything about catching or keeping any fish. We caught the mini of miniest perch and returned the few keepers we did catch. I am curious still how I misplaced my sharp cheese and crackers snack bag though. You don't think Tommy was upset about dragging out to the shanty do you? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Post Script: The 4 wheeler was capable of getting out and back, but was marginal when we hit a couple of those 18" drifts. Any more snow tonight or tomorrow may limit the use of 4 wheelers tomorrow. What is this rumor I hear about ChiefCatchemall coming to the Pond tomorrow? Hide your women and lock the kids up in the storm cellar. ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2
Just finished cleaning yesterdays catch. I was short one of a limit.
sorry ,but screaming doesn't work in my book , and he could use that pike for a suppository far as I'm concerned , but that's just me, and true friends are the ones that would drop what ever they are doing to help you , and 100 yards is not encroaching on any planet

Sorry I couldn't help you guys cook hack. My truck broke down in New Haven and I had to be towed back to Fulton. Still, I got there in time to get the last piece of fish. Paul and crew did a great job of cooking up the fish. We will have to do it again soon. The bite is back on at the Pond. We should be filling the freezer back up again. :thumbsup:JB1, thought those breakdowns only happened to me!?? :woot:
Too many angry guys on here. Mellow out guys. Don't worry, be happy oooooowwwwwwooooowwww :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Wayne, are you going to come up here or what? I am reserving a spot for you right next to the "Honey Hole". If I have to drive down to Booger Bottom to pick you up, that can be arranged you know. ;)2 ;)2 ;)2JB1, from the reports(Oneida), I didn't think wheelers were a go? This thread got knocked out of my incoming mail(happens from time to time)so I just caught up on a few pages last night. Was thinking early next week after the warm up/freeze up but looks like you are making it out.
Time to regroup Trap. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Got half a day in today. The 4 wheeler was still a little rough, but we got out and back with out getting stuck. The bite was on at noon and lasted till 2:00 when the wind picked up . The bite stopped as soon as it started. Got 23 perch and had one pike hit, but kept the pimple because I was using a metal leader. The ice is still thick and the snow on top is still drifting and at places rutty from the old wheel tracks from days previous. Only 4 perch were over 10"s. Glad you got the wife out Tom. How do you do that? :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
Hi guys,
I will be taking my kids out on Renshaw Bay tomorrow seeking some pike action.
Two questions, how thick is the ice and is the snow on top getting slushy yet? I don't want them getting wet feet.
Thanks

Wow look at that! Old but not senile remembers crap from couple yrs ago! :P
Catch more?
I can catch a cold too doesn't mean I want it. Just like stink logs.
i didn't even know you actually fishedYa well maybe take back the senile comment.
Nice stinklogs Trap!! :thumbsup: What's the deal with the bees??? :woot:
I remember now...going back a couple years!! ;D Your mind is still sharp as a tack my friend!!!! ;) What I don't understand is why...#1, if you know bees are present why would you disturb them? :-\ #2, why would anyone, bcons, want to stick your finger in the hole?? :o I think some spray foam in the hole would've been quicker and a whole lot easier!! ;D
YEP, some crayons are brighter than others!!! LOL!!
bcons found a bees nest on his porch and stuck his finger in the hole ,then wondered why he was stung 50 times ............. he's a ok guy just not the brightest crayon in the box ....ya know what i'm saying
The grand daughter and I are going to deplete the perch population on the pond today. Hope to see you out there . It should be a zoo out there today. Please watch your language out on the ice. I am not by any means a prude or self righteous. I've worked construction my whole life and I have heard a few good invectives and four letter Anglo-Saxon expletives. I do not, however countenance practicing myself or others flagrantly , at the top of there lungs cussing the same four letter word every other word from their mouths for an extended period of time. It may be the beer contributes to this lack of respect to others. I wonder if they talk that way at their dinner table. Do they have children of their own? Do they talk like that in front of their children? My grand son and I were fishing , only briefly in front of the Elms on Thursday when we were exposed to these yahoos. To the left of me , less than 50 yards was a family with a young girl, less than 10 years old I would say, to my right . another father and daughter of similar age uncomfortably fishing and tolerating this rude behavior.
To you hooligans, who feel it is your first amendment right to ruin what was a beautiful day for my grandson and me, I say shame on you. At 69 years old , I am not going to confront you on the ice. I ask my fellow IS ers to condemn you. Perhaps just maybe these yahoos can develop a little conscience and practice some self discipline. It seems , I write this same post every year . I am normally the most positive person you will ever meet on the ice. It grieves me greatly to again write this post. I pray the Lord will give these hooligans a second thought before continuing their abusive effrontery to others. My grand children, your grand children do not deserve to be exposed to this kind of behavior. No one needs to hear this kind of vulgarity on the ice. Remember how far your voice travels on the ice.
Couldn't agree more JB1...but "invectives"...you might want to simplify that a little! :woot: :roflmao: :roflmao:Boggey is certainly unique! Good luck today Bogg!
Looking to get some perch. Where do I find them?Under the ice! :woot: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :icefish:
Looking to get some perch. Where do I find them?
ObyI was out of blind creek rd I think you were like 100yards north of were I set up I caught minnow perch till I packed up at noon chased my cover across the bay that was fun .....I'll be setting up on the south pond today
, Don't talk colors to me ;D ;D ;D. I have been color blind since birth. I hope you had a good day however. I am moving the perm shanty today. It settled into the ice a bit yesterday. Not too bad to release it with out chipping. It is slippery out there guys and gals.

Anxiously awaiting the report from the pond that I need to break out the thesaurus or try to remember college to understand ;DDesist in your defamation! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Anxiously awaiting the report from the pond that I need to break out the thesaurus or try to remember college to understand ;DWe made a run up to the pond today and pillaged some of Boogeys perch! Sometimes ya gotta think out of the box. ;) Today they were hitting the Hormel pepperoni :o
Just poking boggey.
Hope all went well with the perm.
AMEN JB. I agree with you. Maybe you could get a "posse" formed, out on the ice, to let these "hooligans" know how we feel; embarrass them, shame them, if that is even possible.could not agree more there are laws against harassing sport fisherman people get arrested on the Samond river all the time for it today out of green point we had to deal with a red four wheel and a camo three wheeler running all over the place doing donuts just pissing everyone off. I finally had enought and told them to stop or I was calling the state police and DEC for harassment that seam to get them to stop while I was on the ice. Why do we put up with this enought calls to the authority's and maybe they will get a clue as to what respect is. It amazing how brave these punks are on a four wheeler at 30 miles an hour.
JB1 I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately I believe this is the way of the world now. I am 65 and growing up in the 50s and 60s I never heard the F word come out of my father's mouth or any of his friends until I was 17 yrs old. It didn't matter if we were hunting or fishing or just in general conversations not a foul mouthed word out of my father or his friends. What a difference 50 years of liberalism makes.
To Bcon and hardwater, " WHAT UP MAN. OMG, wat U foos doin? Bin fishin all day. Cot me sum nise fish. Baut me some nise maggots. only caust me fitty sents. Hope this make you LMAO. BUY fer NOW. YER fren BOGGEY. ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2 ;)2:woot: :roflmao: :thumbsup: :icefish:

Yes we were at green point yesterday an we had a great day with the pike but them punks with the wheelers were very ridiculous glad someone shut them upYour welcome for the record check with DEC what they are doing is considered harassing sport fisherman no different than a jet ski coming to close to your boat or driving around your boat speed limits apply helmet laws apply and # of passengers apply. They were in violation of 4 or 5 laws next time just calling DEC and they will be ticketed. If everyone takes a stand like I did this garbage will stop.
i know people with 4 wheelers and jet skis can be a pain but if you told them to stop and they did i don't think they were being so bad , sounds to me like they showed you alot of respect actually i think alot of people do these things out of ignorance more then anything else ....upsetting yes but glad you said something and glad they had the respect to listen ...... people swearing ...lots of time it's acohol and forgetting their voice carrys ......(i'm quilty) doing stupid stuff with a dirt bike or 4 wheeler upsetting a sportsman .... i think people forget how close they are or simply don't know they are annoying others (i'm quilty) driving a boat to close to others fishing .... sometimes they are non disherman other times they never seen the fisherman ...(quilty again) ...amazingly i have had FISHERMAN go 30 mph bye me when i'm in the canoe or kayak and almost flip me..... been anchored fishing weeds and had a charter boat leave a wake that swamped me! and i've had other hunters see me and ride their 4 wheelers to me it ask if i seen anything ..... so you got to think weather your setting fishing or your on the 4 wheelerTrapper these guys were doing in on purpose to the point when I was telling one guy to stop two of his friends wanted to join in. All day long doing speed runs behind my shan't were my 12 yr old son was fishing. Hearinf the f bombs all day long and everyone around them was giving them the nock it off looks and the arms up of really you have to act that way it wasn't until I informed him of the laws being broke did they stop and to prove just how rude of a person they started it all back up when I left the ice. The sad part is they had little kids out there driving around at one time with 4 people on a 4 wheel with no helmets. The kids were maybe 5-6 yrs old
I was packed and ready to go this morning and when I looked out the window (in Fulton) the weather did not look that threatening. Still, I checked the Doppler and saw the band of snow I was going to have to crawl through to get to the Pond and I called the grand son and cancelled. Glad I did as the snow band dropped down to cover Fulton as well. The first time I had to pay to plow the driveway in 2 weeks. We were in and out of the snow band all day long. I was hoping to get some reports from the Pond. Obrien usually covers the conditions when I am not there or maybe Sandy Ponder. Anyway, after a day of rest I am ready to tackle it tomorrow. I heard from the twitty bird, a certain visitor from Booger Bottom may, may mind you, becoming up to New Yawk to take some of our fish back to PA with him. :nono: :nono: :nono: Is that true?Vernacular JB1...vernacular!!! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Trapp you're guilty of those things? Say it ain't so!
Found it thanksIn here..
I will be sure to let my cousins at the point know about this so they have a heads up what is going on. :tipup:
OK NEW SUBJECT! How about fishing? lol ::)
Well then Happy Helperton where's the hotspots? whats working well? How do I find Pike? :P :PDon't know.... lol the last time I fished was the Team tourney. Archery is taking up all my time.
How thick is the ice now?
Don't know.... lol the last time I fished was the Team tourney. Archery is taking up all my time.What do you shoot in a league?
2 leagues and travel all over to tournaments on weekends. Finally moved up to semi-pro so its taking alot more of my time.Good for you buddy!!! Can't wait to get a new bow next year.
Well then Happy Helperton where's the hotspots? whats working well? How do I find Pike? :P :P
you couldn't find fish sticks in the freezer section of price chopper
They were all out >:( Told me some crazy old codger bought them all for hammer handle pike bait! :-*
is that the best you got?????
Haven't you noticed I'm trying to behave now :angel ;D
Is green point inside the boundary or is it just off the elms and wig warm?Anywhere on north or south pond. Yes green point is part of north pond.
Hardwater is coming up tomorrow and I think we are going to fish out of Wig-Wam in the morning. I was going to put him on TommyBoy's "Money Hole". Better off depleting Tommy"s money hole than my "Honey hole". That is, if Wayne can catch fish. We will have to see about that. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;DNot to worry...I have a hard time catching a cold! :woot:

My treat, just bring yourself bud. Did you get the new track conversion on your 4 wheeler? It is again snowing and blowing up here. Will have to wait to see how much snow and blow we get today. May be hard getting around on the 4 wheeler.LET IT SNOW.

archery and overtime eh? You must be bringing home some big pay checks. Is the baby old enough to fish yet? :angel :angel :angelNo overtime Bogey just archery. And my paychecks suffer from both lol. The little one should be ice ready next year I hope.
Ok I found a contact person and weigh in time I am assuming its at the club. Just have to find where it's located now.got to sandypondsportsmans.co m. the address is on there. I can't remember it off the top of my head. I will be there for sign ups friday from 6-9 and saturday starting at 5am.
I've only fished the pond a few times this year but also had to move a bunch to find the decent size pearch , and got a few nice northers in the mixThey are here now bro, finally ;D
raysyncar - thanks for your story, glad you and your son mad it off and are fine. You are giving us all a great reminder - Be Prepared. We all get complacent with time, we just need to make our routine include that preparedness.X2!
Glad to hear everyone made it off the ice safe and sound! Never get complacent with the weather or conditions!
Hey Bcons...bees are dormant this time of year....be a great time to plug up them holes on your home! Just sayin'!--KP @)
Just be sure you are not plugging up the holes with the bees still INSIDE the house with now no way to get out but head for your living area in the Spring!!!
How did the area fare with the recent weather? Really torn on where to fish this weekend.whats your new transportaion?
The sportsman's derby is a great time for all, inexpensive way to test your competitive edge, and good people.
Looking forward to trying the new ice fishing transportation!
whats your new transportaion?Not as sweet as yours bud!

Had fun today lil sister got 3ird in the youth and wow alotta bug pike today
Hello. I....am an ice fisherman. I am dedicated and willing to help those who would ask, be it directions or fishing advice. We are a breed that sticks together . I would like to share a lesson with you my friends. NEVER go out of your homebase without a compass. Oh I know your new fangled phone has a gps system and all but what if it fails you? I'll tell you what! It is downright scary in a blinding windstorm. I speak from experience obtained not 5 hours ago. I went out of the wigwam at about 2pm to the rockpile. Several people were coming off and said don't bother. I knew better. Or did I ? We set up on our spot and immediately started catching fish. After about ten minutes and 10 fish I got a nice pig. Just as the wind was cranking up the fishing appeared to be doing the same. Well, then the wind really cranked up and blew over my shanty with me in it. Everything went everywhere. I picked myself up and told my son" fun's over". Oh no it twer'nt. We loaded up and proceeded back towards our parking spot at the wigwam by way of the elms. It is not intended to be a shortcut express or implied. I knew I had my trusty gps in case I was in trouble. I was wrong. No reception was available due to the weather. We spent about a half hour calmly assessing the situation. The only problem is that we were stranded for about an hour and a half. The wind never let up nor did the whiteout. The only landmark we had was boggie's permanent shanty. We called 911 and were fortunate enough to get one of our men in green to locate us and basically rescue us. Thank you to Boggie and his shanty, thank you to the kind lady on shore who gave us our physical location, And especially thank you to 911 rescue and the kind E.C.O. who picked me and my son up and went out of his way to bring us back to our car safely and with minimal ass chewing for me being a mindless idiot (my words). I will never again venture out of the parking lot open water or ice again without a good quality compass. That was the E.C.O.'s only advice and my advice to anybody who does not already have a compass. You might not be as fortunate as I was. I nearly was not.nice meeting you at gander the other night thanks for the info on perch fishing sandy pond next outing me and my son are going to give it a try good luck with the knee my wife is a physical therapist if you have any questions would be happy to help.
Why do i still fish the pond for perch and weed thru all those dinks to get one good one out of 10 fish? ??? ??? ???

Great post and picts HT. I have not done a bacon wrap yet. You gave me a great new way to serve my favorite fish. During the mean time , I managed to fillet my first slime log as you call it. I reviewed about 5 different methods on Utube and settled on what I felt was the simplest which basically fillets the 2 halves as you would a perch or walleye and then cutting both sides of the "Y" bone and ripping it out away from the fillet and then separating the remaining fillet from it's skin. It was not necessarily successful. I still had belly bones to remove. It was a little bit tattered and torn but in the end I managed 4 separate fillets. They were then soaked in water for an hour and then cut in 2" long pieces, breaded and fried . As everyone has told me, it is a very good fish to eat. A little firmer or flaky, but still delicious. I am sorry I have been treating this as a garbage fish, giving it away or returning it to the water. With some refinement , I may become faster at filleting these denizens of the deep . Truly an excellent meat. Thanks to my bud Trap for turning me on to this excellent food source.try looking up the five cut method on you tube I have no bones very easy very clean basically you take a top cut to tail cuts them fillet down the side you end up with five fillets and no bones I cut mine inside a garbage bag no mess and if you leave them in the snow for a bit no slim either

Thanks to my bud Trap for turning me on to this excellent food source.They are good in fish chowder too and or hanging from a basketball hoop! :woot: FM and i had a good day yesterday also, even though we had to fish next to that foul mouthed Bcons! :woot: :roflmao: Took the fish camera with us today, just to see what those dink perch look like in action. Once again the perch love the Hormel pepperoni almost as much as FM! ;D
try looking up the five cut method on you tube I have no bones very easy very clean basically you take a top cut to tail cuts them fillet down the side you end up with five fillets and no bones I cut mine inside a garbage bag no mess and if you leave them in the snow for a bit no slim either

The Northern's prefer the Ball Park franks. :wacko:

We will fatten those perch up one way or another Boggey. ;)
Hey now there were only a few expletives. Not as many as fish I dumped I do occasionally talk to fish and it isnt pleasant, not to mention that sled.;) I dont think the guy on the sled that did the drive by heard ya either. :roflmao: He was a real Richard Cranium! :%$#!:
I knew no women or children around only you, fm, & ht. Other than that I'm normally quiet.
That was prob the worst I've been in a while. Dumped more fish yest. Then the last 4 weeks.
:P
i don't like the 5 fillet methood to easy to end up with bones i end up with two full size fillets and the least amount of waste ......I use to be able to fillet like you are saying but being out of practice I was getting to many bone the five cut seams to work for me but I think I am wasting a little more than I would like. We need to get everyone to donate all those nasty slim logs as they are called so I can practice how to fillet them. I love northern and everyone that eats them un knowingly fall in love with them also.
My confidence is up. I will keep at it till I get faster at it. I spent almost half an hour. I will get more help from Trap next time we go out. We will target the northern next time. Montario Point eh Trap?
We caught a few pike up here a couple weeks ago I fillet removing the Y,s for a whole filet. They are a very good eating fish no matter how they are cooked, but got this recipe for them off youtube simple and great They call it poormans lobster
Boil 2 Qts water with 1cup of sugar
put in 1" cubes of pike and return to boil til fish is cooked
melt butter and mix in garlic & pepper to taste
either dip the fish in butter or pour it over
Enjoy if you try it.
Kudo's to SPSA and Tom. You guys do agreat job on the tournament. Sorry I did not come to awards. The kids still had a great time and I got to spend most valuable time with my grand kids. I know from past experience, to enjoy the moment. Eventually, they get "Too Cool" to spend time with grand pa, but keep hope as when they get out of college and are tired of being "cool" they do come back to grand pa. Perhaps it is the snacks, maybe the fun of fishing and maybe, just maybe, they still love being on the ice or in the boat with grand pa. Either way, win-win for grand pa.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Sounds like you had a great day with the kids. :thumbsup: I want to fish with you. I love snacks!! ;D
11" I would throw them all back. We are lucky down here . We have a lake where perch under 12" get thrown back. Gills under 10" thrown back too.11 " perch and 10" gills go back I think not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11 " perch and 10" gills go back I think not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wired said he was just busting chops. He's one of the many PA boys who come up to fish here.
I'm with you on that HT. They are all nice guys but they can't catch a cold. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::);D. Just got done couple mins before you wrote that on the Oneida board telling PA ice swimmer he couldn't catch a cold in January running around wet in European ball baggers!
Hey guys I'm in a hurry but I just wanted to say thanks to all that attended the derby saturday. We had a great time and it was a huge success. 114 entrants total, 24 of them being kids.

I wonder if a big gas hole will appear 60-100 ' from that spot soon?really ??? ok Fatty I will remember that next time you want a ride out on the ice. and to think I waited for you when you were late getting there AGAIN ::) ::) ::) ::)
Although I didn't mention it. A couple or a few years ago someone vertically challenged caught a sweet steelie through the ice in a spot like that ??? ???
Fishing in my hole from the day before that hadn't even skimmed over.
Same day someone crawled up to said gas hole.
Even finished that day moving a few hundred yards east to land on whiteys.
By where we got into them near you on the team tourney.
But alas I've never fished near there. ::) ;D

Thanks for all the nice comments on my sons picture . Sometimes I thbink he is teaching me now, most of the time he picks the spot and runs his own tip ups. He has even commandeered my vexliar for jigging. Anyone have a good used unit for a needy father. Will work for electrons.At his age its better he's using the vex than a phone or video game ;)
:woot: :woot:HT...You can only hold that ROLL up for so long bud!! Be careful when you let go!!! :o :o :roflmao: :roflmao: OMG Coach, you kill me!!--KP @)Now that its about that time of year............
Congrats grandpa!
While it looks like he stole your hat, don't let him get into that split personality thing.
The 1st pic with the minnow it looks like he has something to say.
Great pics!

Grumpy gus, must be time for open water ::)
You still talking grumpy?? You better take a double dose of that fiber that Dr. Release prescribed!! :P :P

I'm sure your a decent fisherman, but, You got lucky and finished ahead of me and Fred, two decent fisherman, in a derby. and, now, you still wanna take a shot at us....OK..I'M IN!! Are you feeling OK lately bcons??? Just wondering if you ate some fish from the area that the meth heads dumped their meth waste.... :wacko: :wacko:
I also heard that your partner put all the fish in your bucket that day!! ;)

And just busting on ya guys. I'm extremely competitive, can't stand losing, but if I'm in the top 10% then I don't have to kick my own arse.
Didn't mind losing to Tommy boy, fish tank, and the smurfs. Albeit by a little :P
That's good company to be in. ;).
Same goes for a lot of the Oneida diehards. Including that crazy schitzo guy. Doesn't he count as a team all by himself? How exactly does that work?
ya have to be good before your competitive........... .. catching pickerel on Oneida don't count ........just saying

Before you guys fill my PM account, I owe you an explanation. I have not been posting because I took a nasty fall on the ice. Not on the pond, but in my driveway. Ironic eh?. While I didn't break my ribs, I gave them a heck of a banging. It was one of those falls where your feet go straight out and you fall hard and flat on your back. If any of you have ever cracked a rib, you have sympathy for the pain I am in. I couldn't even sit at the computer. I did not want to walk except to hit the john and that was even too painful. After spending half of Sunday night in the emergency room, I was still in intense pain. I went back to the doc yesterday and got some pain killer a little bit stronger that ibuprofen. Good stuff, but I am afraid to overdo it. I will write in between doses as it really knocks me into lala land. I did this same thing 4 years ago and missed half my ice fishing season. I didn't get to remove the shanty on the 16th and I am grateful I didn't get a citation. I had to beg my sons to remove it for me and they finally coordinated their schedules enough to snag it off the ice yesterday. I will be off for the next few weeks but appreciate your posts. Hope you keep me informed and jealous with your reports on the pond. "Tite Lines and be safe" my friends.
Can't keep a good man down. Boggey ya will be up and running again just in time for spring perch.LOL, True story ;D Spoke with Jimmy tonight, he is in good spirits, and in good hands with Rita and his children to look after him. After all he's been thru far worse than this ;) See you soon Bud ;D
Hoping ya don't endure to much discomfort.
Ya know you have no choice but to come back stronger than ever. Someone has to be the old school bucket sitter who refuses electronics to keep up the traditions.

i spent all day yesterday going from spot to spot on the pond trying to find bigger perch in the brutal wind and snow/freezing rain too boot ::). i did get a decent limit but no real big fish. today i made an adjustment and found some bigger fish today but not a lot. kept 27 and called it quits at noon. 23"-24" of ice and no snow on the ice. it is hard as a rock right now ;D perch for dinner more then one night this week......... @)
Thanks. I was looking at one at Fat Nancy's and thought it would be much better than the Pro for room and mobility. Probably will be my next shanty.Love my Kenai too kingfisher...only weighs 50 lbs.
Love my Kenai too kingfisher...only weighs 50 lbs.Take a look at the bigmouth thermal by clam only 44 lbs and alot more room inside
Love my Kenai too kingfisher...only weighs 50 lbs.
Take a look at the bigmouth thermal by clam only 44 lbs and alot more room insideHad not seen that clam model - take off (one way or another) of the Eskimo Wide1 Inferno? 64 lbs. though.
Take a look at the bigmouth thermal by clam only 44 lbs and alot more room insideI believe the big mouth was a gander mountain exclusive only. I looked at them in the fall and the tubs and side material were not as heavy duty as the Kenai that's why they weigh less and with only 2 more square foot of fishable space. IMO the Kenai would be the better choice. Good luck Kingfisher with whatever style you decide to go with.
who ever is shopping go and see or on line and compare size , tub thickness and fabric weight and price draw your own conclusion , there was a chart , but if you like the Kenai, add in the cost of a chair , the plat form is a killer if you have back issues about 25 bucks more will due it , just my .02
me and freddie lookded at that Big mouth one and were not impressed. your not gaining much for the extra cost and we could see that the mini pole extensions would be freezing up for sure. jmo looks like the weather is going to break here by thursday. i want to get out there this weekend before i call it a season. good luck on oneida bruse. i am going to finish it on the pond this year ;D
I think I am putting a better seat on mine for next year. The ONLY reason I didn't do it already is because it fits under my tonneua cover perfect now. I just need to find the right seat...I take the seat out of my boat and use it in my shanty every year. the holes line right up nice. very comfortable ;)
The long winded oricale yet articulate master of the pond is awaiting reports of triumph over the stripped adversaries of anglers whom dwell beneath its icy surface.wow I'm impressed did you have help writing that ? you old red neck ;) and X2 on the getting better Boogey
Since the nearly indestructible self proclaimed consummate of the ponds hidden secrets has temporarily fallen ill due to an unforseen incident between himself and mother nature, we must all do our part to help him live vicariously through our adventures.
Hope you're doing better Boggey!
;D ;D
Nice job HT, I was to the immediate right of you, could only fish with one rod, a bite on every drop. I kept 15 over 11", guessing I threw back 50-60. It was the first time I have ever gone through all of my bait ! I would of stayed longer if I had more. ;)those fish weren't mine. i just fixed his picture for him. lol
those fish weren't mine. i just fixed his picture for him. lol

You must play by the rules.... I learned that lesson this year lol just message a mod they will let you know what's up
Hello, my nickname is Timmer. I'm new to site . Just finished redoing all of my jigging rods. now its just time to wait for some good ice.
I'm starting to get the itch real bad though. Is there a page where you can get ice reports?
Optimus rhyme. We all need to laugh more. Good one Mike. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Buddy of mine said he saw a few guys walk out at old wigwam spud a few feet turn right back around n head in..... Safe ice maybe this weekend I hope
Checked wigwam and GP this morning both were bad news.... Saw nobody on the ice either which is good lots of snow and slush!Well good no one is out on bad crap.
Well good no one is out on bad crap.
Horrible that its that bad.
How's the Sandy Creek Fire Department raffle going?
I have a ticket number over 100.
For those that don't know only $10. Only 300 tickets sold.
2 shanties & a nils auger for prizes
Great department.
Bcons, pm me where to buy tickets...
Boggey get any tickets yet?
I got mine at Bartel rd bait and tackle. Right on Bartel rd.
Bcons pm me where to buy tickets plz
go out on the ice and sell them. people will buy them ;)I will but don't expect to see me selling them during morning bite. I'll get a open/closed sign for my shanty
Is there enought ice on sandy pond to be safe
Any kind of fishing on Onieda lake ny going on
With this last bit of sub zero temps there has to decent ice now. I'm going to venture out from the elms on saturday and willVenture maybe, decent? Maybe not.
definitely drop my $5.00 bucks in . Its well worth it.
Venture maybe, decent? Maybe not.very well said!
Doable sure perhaps with caution, 5" is OK.
What's not OK is making the assumption because of low temps ice must be good. After 5+' of snow has been dumped on an area ice isn't made well despite temps.
Proceed with caution, check as you go, pay attention. There's a reason guys hit 30 fow on Oneida before the pond has become a zoo. That doesn't happen often.
Check reports, stop and buy bait at reputable bait shop & ask about local conditions, most importantly check yourself
Bad luck fishing
But very good ice report
The other bad thing is I will be fishing that same spot this weekend
My quad is staying home so I'll be out there with my pull toys
The wind blew at the pond most of the night, when I left for work at 7 am we had maybe 2" of new snow. My neighbors and husband were out yesterday off the east end, reported good ice, but pockets between the top (sort of slushy) layer and the bottom 6" of black ice, followed by more slush. There was so much slush below the black ice their camera would not get through it, and the auger was useless moving it. Not something they had seen before on the pond.
Here is the list of derbys (or is it "derbies"?) the SPSA is sponsoring or co-sponsored, not sure if it's comprehensive, but it's a start.
2/7 Mad River Children's Ice Fishing Derby. Breakfast and Lunch will be served
2/14&15 SPSA 39th Annual Ice Derby. Breakfast and Lunch will be served both days
2/21 Sandy Creek Fire Dept. Ice Fishing Derby. Breakfast and Lunch will be served

TIC TIC TIC TIC KICK OFF WORLD BEST DINK PERCH DERBY ON JAN 31 YAHOOOOO
ADKII, you must have been fishing right next to me at GP. Little better results but not much. Read my GP report on the Sandy Pond reports and conditions thread.
I was out past everyone in the 13-14 fow. Was just marking a ton of dinks and the wind was way to harsh to sort through them without a shanty.
I gotta say that the channel may very well been filled in again with sand. We boated through the channel this past summer, seems like it was getting shallower each time we went through. The pond side of the channel is where the trouble was. The channel after that was fine.This Summer was the best the channel has been in years. Plenty of water for some big boats to get in and out. The Channel is not the issue with the fishing. Not sure what is going on with the perch but it seems to be the same story in most of the lake ontario bays this year. hope it gets better.
Killer day today and what I mean by that I wanted to kill Boggey for dragging me to that place instead of Oneida. 5 keepers In 10 hours but it was worth it just to hear the old man singing all day. Keep it up Boggey. As for the tourney I'm bringing dynamiteDifferent tune yet cuse?
Different tune yet cuse?Ha maybe:)
