Fished 3 mile bay kept 11 big perch, lost a northern at the hole, as Boogey said pretty steady bite but a lot of small perch. Sandy pond has actually lost ice since sunday due to the wind i believe. Hope it gets better i would like to practice a little more before the big dance

Ok all take this for what's it's worth, have a good time be safe, but consider the conditions & forecast.
1- lots of open water
2- about to be frigid temps

However also snow, now they're warning about lake effect (see the bottom of post)
3-warm temps during the day tomm 40+
4-breezy if not windy for the next few days with lots of open water already for waves to build
5-some crap & questionable ice from gas holes, cracks, & breakups with refreeze
6-From Friday on area snow expected, not too much, but enough to cover bad spots
Be careful..........

"LAKE EFFECT SNOW MAY DEVELOP EAST OR SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO
SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THERE REMAINS A GREAT
DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE EXACT PLACEMENT AND INTENSITY OF
LAKE EFFECT SNOW...BUT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE."

So do I, while I do stupid stuff, including crawling up to a gas hole on 3-4" of crap ice last yr to release a bass which some were happy to take pics of

I try to warn people. Read just above yours, a newbie claiming the ice conditions are fantastic

Uhhhhhh I musta missed that, or maybe I was looking at the wrong pond. When I try to say it?

PLAIN & SIMPLE if you have to check the internet & don't have people you know & trust to give you an accurate report then you should probably be careful.

Glad to hear you got on a few. Was the ice all bubbly over there at GP? It was like a freshly poured glass of 7-UP in front of the wigwam yesterday...

Let's hope this isn't what we have to resort to with this wacky weather....

Priceless....

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?

I was out on sandy last weekend left of the wig wam. I tried to head for the dunes and only about 200 to 300 yards from shore there was a big break in the ice with only skim ice beond it if you get to close you can feel the ice bow and hear it crack. i ended up fishing 50 yards off of the break and found 4 inches of good ice. i cant imagin the conditions are any better. the perch fishing was ok just shy of a limit but left early to get ready for the super bowl. no one went out any farther then i.

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 !

b-cons has been right and has tried to warn people without alarming them , problem is , we tell the truth and a few others like to underser score whats being said .... just be careful in all honesty the condtions are aweful! carry a spud wear a pfd! pay attention .....

emtorn · « **Reply #1489 on:** Feb 11, 2012, 08:43 AM »

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?

I was out last Wednesday and you could hear the water flowing underneath the ice about 100 or so yards off shore where I was. I reached in the hole for a couple fish and it felt warmer than it should be. Ice was very bubbly and when I left was softening up on top. This was in front of the wigwam. Left the ice at 1:00 with just under 4". I have no idea what has happened since then, but I can tell you that the nice wood shanty that was on top of the water the previous Sunday was halfway in the drink when I left... Any current reports would be great. I know there are derbies there today and tomorrow so we should get some decent reports on ice conditions. I agree with the previous posts, have the proper safety equipment with you if you go out.

Just got off the phone with GP marina. Report is almost 4" of ice. Guys were doing good but ice could be iffy.... I have a buddy fishing the derby today on North Pond... I'll post his ice conditions later... I'm gonna fish it tomorrow I think... later

trapper2000 · « **Reply #1494 on:** Feb 11, 2012, 11:31 AM »

4 inches of iffy ice !!!! and i got to tell you thats true! yet we got a member 1st post reporting 5 to 8 inches !!!! amazing .... i seen people crawling on there bellys on the canal in phoenix call and report it "oswego county rescue removes them " PROFESSIONALS !!!! that have been trained to say when things arn't save ...ice less then 2 inches!!! yet so much negative feed back adk had to lock the thread!..... i get poked fun of for wearing a floatation suit and carrying a spud?

?

no one is saying don't fish ... but were all working with honeycombed ice! use your head and be perpaired ! i have come to the conclusion it's not if someone goes threw this year its how many go in and if they get out safely .... i been ice fishing 50 years and never seen ice like this ........

Jigger · « **Reply #1495 on:** Feb 11, 2012, 12:15 PM »

4 inches of ice wigwam side with open water about 200yards out from east ave towards hognose and open water on the south side of green point marina.I love to fish as much as anyone but with these conditions I plan on waiting and with another warm up the end of next week will only make conditions worse.

trapper2000 · « **Reply #1496 on:** Feb 11, 2012, 01:38 PM »

booggy cray year and now people are being crazy , problem is there not doing it themselves they post 8 inches and send unknowing people !!!! you can't trust a report i will not report how thick is is! whats there is honeycombed ! and it can change FAST!!!! if you go get a spud ...you can get cheapie heavy ones from home depot for 18 bucks or decent light ones 24 bass pro ...... check before you step!

cush34 · « **Reply #1497 on:** Feb 11, 2012, 01:42 PM »

FishTank19 · « **Reply #1498 on:** Feb 11, 2012, 02:14 PM »

As you all may have noticed I stopped reporting on the ice thickness... FYI I am not fishing the pond at this time especially now with skimmed over gas pockets Yikes! I'll stick with coyote hunting for a while longer...
